He was inexplicably dropped in favor of Cole Beasley this week.
I'm going to bid on him next week, though I'm not sure how much.
Is he worth around 10% of FAAB?

I think so. In my standard league, he is WR20 based on ppg and usage is trending up. He played on 60/67 snaps last week which is by far the most of the season. Stills was only at 28.

Of course this happens the week after I'm release Stevie Johnson and he does well

I think Stills will be on the field more with Parker getting most of his work in the red zone.
I think since Miami is virtually a long shot to make the playoffs, the rest of the season could be like "garbage time" for the offense. Parker could be the starter for Matthews the rest of the way to try and give the rookie some confidence going into next year. After Matthews went down, Parker had 59 snaps and Stills had 52 snaps.

This is quite interesting. Did Parker essentially leapfrog Stills...stepping straight into Rishard's role?

Said to my friend before free agency started that Patriots is the team this kid will flourish 
Heard Patriots was interested on Rishard, had him a year on my bench just waiting for this and thought my fortune telling had really improved
Got excited, so excited I baked a cake
Read he was signed by the Titans
Ate the cake, the whole cake
Feeling sick and frustrated :X

while the Patriots would be better, he could do a lot worse than having MM as his QB for the next few years.Said to my friend before free agency started that Patriots is the team this kid will flourish

I know, in fact Tennessee is not bad choice at all. I like that he will be opposite Dorial, while Wright is playing the slot. You never know, he could be the most reliable target of the whole team and I doubt Tennessee is drafting receivers in the first rounds. Still the thought of this guy playing with Brady...

Was there some guaranteed money I missed? I saw it was a team option, which sounds like if he really isn't worth that going into 2019, Tennessee is not on the hook to pay him.
As for whether he's worth a little under $8m for 1 year, it is less than Donte Moncrief got on a 1-year deal this offseason.
Just seems like a deal that pretty much only benefits the team. I don't get what his motivation would be to sign it now. Increasing his trade value would make sense if he is not jiving with Vrabel and wants out.

Came here to post about the meniscus. Matthews is done with his recovery from this and could practice any day now. Physically he is cleared- does everything required with the trainers and doc likes the results. They're just making sure he's ready and the timing around a game isn't really any good. Activating him to sit at home while they're in Pittsburgh doesn't really work. Expect him Monday
Week four is almost optional for veterans so that isn't expected. As long as he gets the practice reps for week one, that seems to be their goal.
Vrabel expects him to jump in right away in practice. He's expected to flip flop with Corey Davis as to who is slot and who is outside. The slot was the prime position in the Rams offense. This Titans offense is a mishmash of the Rams and the Titans previous and some things Vrabel likes over the years.
Taywan Taylor is something like the current prototype for the slot with his cat quick lateral speed and OMG straight speed after he catches it. He has yet to play slot in practice (when reporters were there) but has played a few snaps in the preseason games. Those snaps were with the second unit.
Rishard's whole game is being savvy. He has fine measurables but nothing wow. Since he entered the league he's simply just been very efficient and knows how to use his bod and get to a spot and all that. He is one of the best on 3rd down and he's done that facing an opposing team's top CB. If Davis draws the top CB, Matthews should be a safe prediction to be efficient again.

He got more money in 2018 evidently. So there's that. Dude will be cut before 2019 most likely anyway.
Donte Moncrief got a gift from the Jags. No clue what they were thinking. Nobody should anchor on that outlier deal.

Is he going to do anything week 2?

We have deep benches in the only league I own him in (26 man rosters). He's on the bubble as possible WW fodder, but I don't need to drop him right now so I'm holding.

I read on Rotoworld that he left the team and does not intend to return.
There is a backstory with him that I think can't be true.
We know he was given a flag from the base where his brother died and that he was overcome and had to sit during the anthem. He covered his face to hide tears. The fans were mean as could be and lumped him in with Kaep stuff. They completely missed his sacrifice, a brother.
Some say he left and link it to this but Rishard is known to not be shy on social media. He will delete tweets and accounts but he is not shy. He hasn't said boo so I doubt its this story.
If it is, I'm really ashamed to be a Titans fan tonight.
I just don't understand his thinking. So boo freakin what if you are not being used. Play out the last year of your deal, take the $5 million, and find a new team for next year. Jeez. You were a 7th round pick who should be lucky to be making what most of us can only dream of making in an entire lifetime and you whine about not getting enough PT? Dang dude, look out for your family's future first.

I never thought Mathews was that great, but he did always seem to put up reliable numbers. I hope he finds a new team to latch onto. I'll give him a couple week hold period in dynasty, but with the Byes coming up, he is going to be a hard one to hang on to. Hopefully a division rival will give him a shot. The AFC south looks to have a couple teams with weak competition in the WR 2-3 range.

Only if someone throws it.
Mariota+Gabbert= 79 passes thrown in three games for 445 yards. If this pass offense got to "anemic" it would represent a giant leap forward
