Situations To Watch :
- Titans linebacker, Jayon Brown, missed last week’s game with a groin injury that he suffered in Week Six. Brown’s currently not ranked, but watch his practice participation throughout the week. Wesley Woodyard has filled in for Brown while he has been out.
- Neville Hewitt was out last week after suffering a stinger in his neck in Week Six. Monitor his practice participation as the week develops. If he is unable to go again, rookie Blake Cashman would slide into his spot in the rankings.
- The Kansas City Chiefs linebacker rotation is one I’m keeping an eye on this week. Anthony Hitchens returned from injury last week, but they mixed up their linebacker rotation quite a bit. The snaps were dispersed as follows; Ben Niemann 51%, Damien Wilson 49%, Anthony Hitchens 48%, Reggie Ragland 37%.
