Tennessee Titans

Oluwafemi Oladejo

DE

Oladejo missed most of last season due to a right leg fracture he suffered in October, but that wasn't the cause of his absence from spring workouts; rather, the second-round 2025 draft pick was nursing a hamstring issue. Oladejo is slated for a rotational role during the upcoming campaign, and he's expected to work more frequently as a pass rusher than he did last season, per Kuharsky.

Jeffery Simmons

DT

Coach Robert Saleh said during minicamp in June that Tennessee wants Simmons rested for crucial third downs and two-minute situations. Fewer snaps could slightly lower Simmons' tackle volume, but Saleh's aggressive scheme should also create more opportunities for disruption. Simmons totaled a career-high 11.0 sacks last season while earning All-Pro honors, and he's fresh off signing a three-year, $105.8 million contract extension. Considering his talent level, a planned rotation shouldn't significantly damage Simmons' IDP ceiling.

Gunnar Helm

TE

Helm set a franchise rookie tight end record with 44 catches for 357 yards and two touchdowns while suiting up for 16 regular-season games in 2025. Added competition may limit his fantasy ceiling, but a strong offseason would give Helm a chance to earn a larger role in Tennessee's offense, and the departure of Chig Okonkwo for the Commanders opens up notable receiving opportunities. Helm appears the favorite to win the No. 1 tight end job during training camp, with Daniel Bellinger and Kylen Granson fitting into complementary roles.

Elic Ayomanor

WR

As a rookie, the 2025 fourth-rounder logged a 41/515/4 receiving mark on 89 targets in 16 regular-season contests, while fellow fourth-round choice Chimere Dike put up a 48/423/4 mark (on 74 targets). However, with Robinson and Tate on board and slated to command their share of targets in 2026, both Ayomanor and Dike face obstacles to steady volume in their second pro campaigns, especially given that Calvin Ridley -- who was limited to seven games last year -- remains in the mix. In that context, Ayomanor brings modest fantasy lineup appeal to the table out of the gate this season unless injuries hit Tennessee's pass-catching corps in advance of Week 1.

Chimere Dike

WR

As a rookie, the 2025 fourth-rounder compiled a 48/423/4 receiving line (on 74 targets) across 17 regular-season games, adding a pair of punt return scores, while fellow 2025 fourth-rounder Elic Ayomanor logged a 41/515/4 mark on 89 targets. However, the free-agent addition of Wan'Dale Robinson, coupled with the selection of Carnell Tate fourth overall in the 2026 NFL Draft, poses a threat to the volume of both Dike and Ayomanor in their second pro campaigns, given that Calvin Ridley (limited to seven games last year) also remains in the mix. As Suss notes, Dike's speed makes him an asset, but as Week 1 approaches the Florida product's weekly role in Tennessee's passing game is TBD considering his team's offseason moves. That said, Dike should continue to make his mark as a returner after establishing the all-time NFL rookie record for all-purpose yards (which included 1,588 kickoff return yards and 398 punt return yards) in 2025.

Daniel Bellinger

TE

Bellinger spent the last four seasons playing under offensive coordinator Brian Daboll with the Giants, making him one of Tennessee's most familiar additions to the new offensive scheme. While 2025 fourth-rounder Gunnar Helm is expected to handle plenty of receiving work following the departure of Chig Okonkwo (now with the Commanders), Bellinger's blocking ability makes him a natural fit for the heavier personnel packages Daboll is expected to employ. That familiarity, combined with the vacancy created by Okonkwo's departure, gives the 25-year-old a legitimate chance to earn consistent snaps with the Titans.

Carnell Tate

WR

Tate has looked NFL-ready early on, suggesting the rookie wide receiver out of Ohio State won't face a steep learning curve as he adjusts to playing at the professional level. He could quickly emerge as the top receiving option for the Titans, who didn't have a player exceed 560 receiving yards during the 2025 regular season. Tate is building chemistry with 2025 first overall pick Cam Ward, who threw for 3,169 yards in a rocky rookie season.

Tyjae Spears

RB

Spears at one point appeared at risk of falling down the depth chart entering 2026, but new head coach Robert Saleh has consistently praised the 2023 third-round pick this spring. Lazenby reports that Spears is working to improve his pass-catching this offseason and could operate more as a "1B" behind Pollard than a traditional backup. He managed just 72 carries for 283 yards and two touchdowns across 13 games in 2025, though an improved Titans offensive line could benefit both Spears and Pollard this season. Tennessee selected Nicholas Singleton in the fifth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, so Spears will face additional competition in training camp.

Tony Pollard

RB

Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site previously noted plenty of speculation that the team might use the fourth overall pick in the draft on Notre Dame running Jeremiyah Love. With Tennessee electing to take Ohio State wideout Carnell Tate instead, Pollard remains atop the depth chart and has his sights set on exceeding 1,000 rushing yards for a fifth straight campaign. The Titans still have Spears to handle passing downs and change-of-pace carries, and Singleton has a chance to factor in as a rookie, but Pollard should maintain steady volume in the final season of the three-year deal he inked with Tennessee in March of 2024.

Calvin Ridley

WR

Coming back from last year's fibula fracture, Ridley had previously been limited to individual drills and stretching during OTAs. He still hasn't done full-team work, but that should come at the start of training camp, if not at mandatory minicamp June 16-17. The 31-year-old wideout restructured his contract in March, shortly after the Titans signed Wan'Dale Robinson to a four-year deal. The team then drafted Carnell Tate fourth overall, completing a makeover of last year's undermanned WR room. Ridley doesn't have NFL experience working as anything other than the first or second option in a passing game, but that might be his new reality in Tennessee, assuming he even has enough left in the tank to lock down a top-three role at WR.

Nicholas Singleton

RB

SIngleton suffered a Jones fracture in his foot at the Senior Bowl back in January but was deemed fully healthy ahead of the NFL Draft in April. While medically cleared, it sounds like the Titans are bringing the rookie running back along slowly and not completely unleashing him during spring practices, aiming to have him 100 percent ready for the start of training camp in July. Singleton is expected to compete for snaps and touches behind Tony Pollard and Tyjae Spears under new OC Brian Daboll.

Cam Ward

QB

"I think it'll help me with durability...just being faster, getting up in the pocket, and trying to play my speed," said Ward, who Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site indicates has recovered from an AC joint sprain in his throwing shoulder suffered in Week 18 last season. With that in mind, coach Robert Saleh said Thursday of the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, "his arm's perfectly healthy. He's slinging the ball. I mean, he's got some good velocity on it." As the coming campaign approaches, Ward will be working with a WR corps that welcomes back Calvin Ridley, Elic Ayomanor and Chimere Dike, and that was notably bolstered by the signing of free agent Wan'Dale Robinson and addition of Carnell Tate via the No. 4 overall pick in the 2026 Draft.

James Williams Sr.

LB

Williams suffered an AC joint injury in his right shoulder during the season finale last year, but there are no lingering effects to start the offseason program. The 2024 seventh-round pick played just 79 defensive snaps over 16 gamers last year. With Arden Key with the Colts now, Williams could push for an increased role in 2026, and he should remain useful on special teams regardless.

Amani Hooker

S

Hooker missed the 2025 season finale due to an ankle injury, but it didn't linger into the offseason program. The veteran safety is locked into a starting role in 2026 after recording 81 tackles (58 solo), eight pass breakups and 1.0 sacks through 16 games last year.

Kevin Winston Jr.

S

Winston finished his rookie season on injured reserve with a hamstring injury, but he appears to be back to full strength now. The third-round pick played 10 games (four starts) last year and finished with 34 tackles (21 solo), 1.0 sacks and two pass breakups. With Xavier Woods out the door, Winston will compete with Tony Adams for the starting free safety job.

Will Levis

QB

Levis missed all of last season after undergoing shoulder surgery last summer. With Cam Ward locked in atop the depth chart and Mitchell Trubisky signed earlier this offseason to serve as the veteran QB2, it's unclear what Levis' future looks like in Tennessee. The team could look to trade him ahead of Week 1 if he's able to produce some quality tape during the preseason.

Courtney Jackson

WR

Jackson spent the 2025 season on the Seahawks' practice squad before signing with the Giants in February. He'll now get another chance with the Titans. The 25-year-old had a mediocre college career and is slightly undersized at 5-foot-11, 179 pounds, making him a likely candidate for the practice squad.

Hank Beatty

WR

The Illinois product caught 64 passes for 826 yards in 2025, ranking in the top five in the Big Ten in both categories. Now, he'll try to compete for a roster spot with the Titans.

Tyren Montgomery

WR

The John Carroll product enjoyed a big season in 2025, recording 119 catches for 1,528 yards and 15 touchdowns. Now, he'll get his NFL chance with Tennessee.

Jaren Kanak

TE

Kanak spent his entire four-year collegiate career in Norman with Oklahoma, but it wasn't until his senior season that he saw the field. He didn't disappoint in 2025, compiling 44 catches for 533 yards while dropping just one pass. Kanak is severely undersized for the tight end position at just 6-foot-2, 234 pounds, but he at least makes up for that with a 4.52 40-yard dash time. It remains to be seen if he can stick at tight end in the long run, but he has plenty of special-teams work on his resume and will likely be asked to contribute on that front in Nashville this fall.

Pat Coogan

C

Coogan (6-foot-5, 311 pounds) probably profiles as a swing interior backup for the Titans after starting at center for Indiana in 2025. Coogan started games at both guard and center for Notre Dame in the two years before that, but more as moveable depth than an entrenched starting role in either case. Players like him are normally better with technique than athletic talent, and unlike earlier short-arm centers drafted (Logan Jones and Sam Hecht), Coogan doesn't have standout tested athleticism to offset his lack of reach (31 and 1/8-inch arms).

Jackie Marshall

DT

Marshall is a gap-splitting defensive tackle out of Baylor who is undersized (6-foot-3, 293 pounds) to the point that he might mostly play in passing-down situations. What makes Marshall interesting is his burst off the line. Though he might be light, Marshall's 4.88-second 40 is still very fast for his size.

Fernando Carmona

G

Carmona was a starting left tackle in three of his five college seasons before transitioning to left guard in 2025, when he was named to the All-SEC Second-Team. The Arkansas product doesn't stand out for his physical traits compared to other offensive linemen in the draft, but he has the footwork and quick hands to keep up with opposing defenders, even if he's caught a step behind. Carmona gives the Titans depth on the offensive line, with Peter Skoronski and Dan Moore anchored in as the starting left guard and left tackle, respectively, for Tennessee.

Anthony Hill Jr.

LB

Hill (6-foot-2, 238 pounds) is a very athletic linebacker out of Texas (4.51-second 40, 37-inch vertical, 125-inch broad jump), and one who put up big playmaking numbers. He posted 31.5 tackles for loss, 17 sacks and three interceptions in three years, so if he can brush up on his fundamentals Hill could prove a high-upside pickup for the Titans.

Keldric Faulk

DE

Faulk (6-foot-6, 276 pounds) fell to Tennessee due to concerns that he's a 'tweener' who can't rush the edge sufficiently by defensive end standards yet is maybe too tall and/or light to fit at defensive tackle. The solution is simple enough: Faulk has the prototypical frame and skill set to line up in odd-man fronts, and in obvious passing situations he should be able to move inside if he proves unable to develop his edge-rushing game. Don't count out Faulk yet, though -- he's only 21 and his 4.68-second pro day 40 implies untapped developmental potential.
