Not suprising. Their Wr corps sort of reminds me of the Falcons a bit. A veteran presence who's best years are behind him, mixed with young guys with talent, but talent that hasn't been fully realized. I've always liked Brandon Jones out of the Titans young receivers since that group's first rookie camp. Coming into the draft that year, I had Roby ranked higher than any of them, but once camps started, Brandon Jones, then Roydell Williams seemed much more impressive.

He was arguably "starting material" his rookie year before the unfortunate knee injury. He then came back and looked good coming back from the injury last season.

From the 3rd pre-season Game....
Brandon Jones played behind Roydell Williams and was targeted just once by Vince Young during Friday night's exhibition game.
Jones' inconsistent camp has apparently caused him to lose his starting job to Williams. He needs to be knocked well down cheat sheets if he's not starting. He's talented enough to be Tennessee's top option if he regains the job, but we'd avoid him until then.
I love Roto's lastest info... but this is a good example of why you always can't get worked up on thier opinions...

Just a note from someone watching the game:
The Titans played their starters for most of the game while at the same time the Packers were playing guys that won't be in the NFL next week. Just something to keep in mind as people often put too much stock in preseason games that they don't actually see...

I totally understand that the Pack didn't have their true Defense out there... but the fact is that the Starting QB targetted B Jones the most.

Brandon Jones-WR- Titans Aug. 30 - 11:25 pm et
Brandon Jones started over Roydell Williams for the Titans in a three wide receiver set with Eric Moulds and Chris Davis Thursday night.
Jones led Tennessee with three catches for 29 yards and a score. Since Vince Young and the rest of the Titans starters played the whole first half, it appears Jones is back in line for the starting gig. He could rotate with Williams, but we wouldn't give up on him as a fantasy option until the regular season clears things up.
I love it... last week they told us to Avoid him... this week they tell us not to give up on him

Starting or not we are talking like 40 to 50 catches 4 TD's at best.
We are having a argument over a guy that will be at best Wr #4 but mostly WR #5 FF wise in your team ( I dont know your team but still )
Him and Roydell williams will share time ( I dont see why they just dont put the two kids starters on each side , Moulds is finished ok he s experienced but finished )

BO SCAIFE is VY's main man. All of the WR's are an afterthought. I bet Scaife leads TEN in targets this year. He is VY's security blanket. Watch!PS - I have BJ in 1 league, RW i 2 and Scaife in NONE.Like the ZERO targets R Williams has tonight... and please tell me they bench him and played every other starter tonight because hes that important.B Jones is VY's main man.Except he is nt starting material and played against back ups .Roydell Williams has the starting job secured and this meant zero.3 for 29 and a TD...

WinnerWhile it looks like it's going to be the case, I'll believe Chris Davis is starting when I see it.

This whole situation is another reason why you can't read too much into one preseason game. People had C. Sharon and Mike Walker starting in Jax with Matt Jones and Reggie Williams cut, Jenkins and White finished in ATL, and none of that is going to happen.
Anyway, there is no evidence that Jones ever did lose his starting gig except some reporters assertion based on the third preseason game. This fourth game Jones was clearly the WR1 in the offense. According to the team's unofficial depth chart both B. Jones and R. Williams are the starters with Moulds being the WR3. This actually makes sense to me.

CoolLets talk then.I like my chances since all of those WR's can't seem to stay healthy anyway.

I don't see how you can be very high on any Tennessee WRs this year. Bo Scaife is the only guy I would really trust, because TEs are a lower scoring position and he and Young have a previous history and chemistry.
Vince Young had the 4th worst QB rating last year behind Andrew Walter, Aaron Brooks, and Bruce Gradkowski. And he only beat out Gradkowski by the hair on his chin. That is some poor QBing right there. Vince Young gets all his fantasy points on the groud. His WR options are going to be inconsistent at best this year. And in head to head leagues that is a death sentence.

You do realize Young was a rookie last year, don't you? And, a rookie that most thought wouldn't see the field all year because of his expected learning curve.Now, your assignment is to go study the amount of improvement starting QBs make between their rookie and 2nd seasons, and also between their 2nd and 3rd seasons. Young's future is very bright, and his 2007 season will be just fine.
Those who assume the WR1 in TEN is worthless will as usual find themselves behind the curve when others are reaping the benefits of their foresight by rostering Brandon Jones. Jones is well worth owning.

What do you think Jones' upside is? Give me numbers

I'll go for a sig bet... you Claimed that Scaife will leads TEN in targets this year.... I say he won't.

He finished the year relatively strong for playing on a team pretty weak in the passing game. He was a pivotal player in their come from behind win against Buffalo catching 5-101 1TD.He only caught 27 passes last year, but 4 went for TD's.
He is easily the top receiving prospect on this team. VY will only get better. That means more opportunity for Jones.
1000 yds and 8 TDs is not out the question. This may be on the high side for projection. But it is absolutely possible

I don't know how you can say that any WR on that team has a job "secured". It's temporary at best.Except he is nt starting material and played against back ups .Roydell Williams has the starting job secured and this meant zero.3 for 29 and a TD... I think I counted 6 Targets from VY

Jones clearly has plummeted thanks to week 1 performance vs season expectations.
Part of his performance was situational, given that Chris Brown was running all over the Jags, and he received just as many targets -- 3 -- as all the other receivers. But pure kneejerk Week 1 reactions aside, I'm curious to know if others have readjusted expectations based on what they saw from Jones and the Titans in Week 1.

I never "readjust expectations" based on week 1 performance. Just like I don't based on preseason. If I see the same results this week I will start to get worried and if week 3 it isn't any better I'll adjust then. I just have faith in his ability based on what I saw the second half last year; the situation is not ideal but he had good chemistry before with VY.

VY completed 11 passes on Sunday.... the highest completition total by a Titan WR was 2; one more than Jones had.
Don't worry yet.

once someone steps up and stops the running juggernaut that is the titans and forces VY to throw, we will know more about BJones.
