Tennessee @ L.A. Rams
Team Totals: Rams 31, Titans 23.5
Visiting Los Angeles in primetime after three straight monster wins (vs. BUF, vs. KC, @ IND), the surging Titans’ mettle will be tested by Sean McVay’s 7-1 Rams without offensive centerpiece Derrick Henry (Lisfranc surgery). As Darrynton Evans (knee) joined Henry on I.R., my pick to pace Tennessee’s Week 9 backfield is pass-game specialist Jeremy McNichols, who ranks second on the team in targets (27) and receptions (21) and faces a Rams defense that’s allowed the NFL’s eighth-most catches (49) and seventh-most receiving yards (399) to running backs. Adrian Peterson and D’Onta Foreman are likely at least a week away from meaningful box-score contributions. … Henry’s loss is major enough that OC Todd Downing must consider dramatically changing Tennessee’s offense from a run-oriented to pass-first operation. Satellite RB McNichols is currently the Titans’ most viable primary back, while Ryan Tannehill, A.J. Brown, and Julio Jones comprise an explosive passing nucleus. This game’s lofty scoring projection — its 54-point total is highest of the week — foreshadows a fantasy-useful performance from Tannehill.
