They have Eric Moulds, Roby, Jones, Roydell Williams, and Paul Williams.

And Brandon Jones?

Here's a response question:
Is it worth it to try and figure it out?
They have a bunch of bodies, and there are at least 3 solid possibilities to become the #1 guy. I doubt we'll know who that is in time for most fantasy drafts. That's cool, I don't mind taking a shot on a guy if he has the chance to be the #1 guy. But what are we looking at for numbers for the winner of this derby? I mean, if I am gonna take a late round flier on a guy, I want either less confusion about where the race stands, or a bigger payoff if he hits.
I'll tell you what's going to happen. people are going to be watching the preseason games too closely, and some guy is gonna have a big couple of plays, like Ced Wilson did in the HOF Game, and that guy is gonna race up draft boards. It'll be hilarious to watch.

The only Titan worth worrying about is Vince Young.

Very true, its not like the #1 WR in this situation would put up Cotchery numbers anyways. Probably something around 50 for 700 and 5 tds...if that.

WR1 - Brandon Jones
WR 2 - Moulds and Roby battling for it.
WR3 - Chris Davis
WR4 - whoever loses of Roby/Moulds
Fillani, Williams, Roydell, Orr, et al are fighting for 2 roster spots.

I agree but not too sure what value that means for Jones.

It means about 50/700/7.

TD number seems a little high. I can live with the rest.

He scored 4 on 27 last year, so I just extrapolated.I think the range is 5-7.

He scored 4 on 27 b/c Young couldn't read the defense, knew only a fraction of the offense, and teams were spying him. This year, against more zone D and with a better knowledge of the O, Young will spread the ball out a bit more.He scored 4 on 27 last year, so I just extrapolated.I think the range is 5-7.

Do you expect Young's TDs to not also correspondingly rise? I'm not trying to call you out or anything, I'm just askin'.I believe Young's TD passes should rise in general and therefore make more available for everyone, including Jones.He scored 4 on 27 b/c Young couldn't read the defense, knew only a fraction of the offense, and teams were spying him.

Don't forget that Brandon Jones had a serious knee injury and likely wasn't at full speed last year. I think he could do much better than the numbers I've seen.

He's the only Tenn WR I'd be happy about drafting (at the right spot of course) - the rest are pretty much waiver wire fodder to me unless you're in large leagues, then maybe I'd think about Roby or Moulds.

It's pretty much a given that he'll be the #1, barring someone surprising. At the start of the year, I assume Jones, Moulds and Roydell play most.Roby could be a Brandon Lloyd clone.

I disagree with this. I think it is a given here at footballguys that he will be the most productive wr. However, it wouldn't surprise me even a little to see Roby as more productive.

I think it's a total roll of the dice. None should factor into your plans explicitly in redraft leagues. I would expect Moulds and Jones to be drafted in 12-team leagues, especially PPR leagues (for Moulds), but this seems to be one of those situations where the one surprising player in Week One gets picked up off waivers, only to do virtually nothing for the next month while another Titans receiver gets some run.

Whatever happened to David Givens? Is he still injured?

Was Derrick Mason really a great WR? Someone should emerge and Vince Young should be better this season, no? I like Brandon Jones as a sneaky play that could net you about 750-800+ yds depending on how often they throw. TDs? Who knows?
Sleeper 43
Footballguy
I saw Chris Davis HL films back in May and I waked away thinking he was gonna be a nice sleeper. Hes little and but he plays mean with a chip on his shoulder. BUT I haven't heard much about him since.
I like him as a FA pickup in Dynastys with rosters above 30.

Watching their game this week, Roydell was running with the first team and was getting targets. He actually looked pretty good too. Brandon Jones didn't see the field and at one point the announcer mentioned Jones was in the dog house, he hadn't had a good preseason and that Roydell was currently #1.
I was thinking Brandon would be a sleeper, but at this point I'm staying away from the Tenn WR situation. In TE required leagues it looks like Scaife is a decent sleeper.

He got zero catches against the Bills this week, and I honestly can't recall seeing him on the field.Nothing?

Scaife is the value play in TEN, no doubt.

Bumping to see what Titans homers think about Roydell being #2. Is he going to stay there? Is this a preseason decision with chances of Jones retaking the spot? Without trying to turn this into an AC post, is it too early to consider that Roydell's promotion is permanent or is there still competition for the job from Jones?

Titan homer here. All I can say is, Wow..what a mess.
I still think BJ is the best WR on the team. I don't see Moulds really doing anything this year, so Roydell should see a lot of time at WR2.
Still though, trying to decipher this is crazy. The only Titan WR I have on my teams is BJ.

BJ, Moulds, and Roydell are the only three worth taking a flyer on at this point. As to which of those will get the most and whether it will be enough to make them fantasy relevant...who knows? Agree that Scaife looks like the best bet to have value.
L.White and C.Brown to share time, C.Henry is 3rd on depth chart. I really think Lendale could surprise this year and is worht a later round pick.

Brandon Jones is the only one of those receviers besides Scaife that came down to Houston to run drills with VY during the summer if I'm not mistaken.
Seeing how much he targets Bo reminds me of every game i watched him play in college. (Didn't miss a home game)
He gets the ball to his boys. Notice Scaife didn't really come onto the radar period until VY got there. It had to be a dream come true for him since they were such good friends in college and at the time he was squared up against Ben Troupe and Erron Kinney for any shot at the ball. (Scaife was actually also really good friends with Chris Simms, and they got Best Friend Forever tatoos on their ankles)....
Vince has a little comfort zone of receivers he likes to get the ball to. I know Eric Moulds was not there for their summer training and neither was roydell. The only other WR I can think of that was there for their private practices was Sloan Thomas...but I believe he has been cut. Brandon Jones is the play here. He's the most gifted, he knows how to get to where VY wants him to be and is most on point with his timing. I'm telling you..he'll be a 6-8 TD guy. Worth a late round WR pick for sure.

I think he wanted to get one with Jeff Garcia once he got to town as well.http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/headli...ts/4153409.html

Nothing is near correct. He's been quiet with all of two receptions in preseason. He is expected to make the team as the #5 or 6 of what is probably 6 spots. For a player that was viewed before the draft as not likely to become anything extraordinary , he's living up to that potential. Unfortunately.Nothing?

I think Mason was, but that was a very different team then as well as Mason being a different player. I think that VY does improve, but as far as someone stepping up, I won't hold my breath. Young will have to make his strides by picking his opportunities with all of the receivers, not by having one or two guys pick up their game this season as well. He will be limited by their limitations. This is not to say that B Jones and/or another young WR (I think Moulds has slipped for good) can't emerge down the road, just that for most of this season we won't see it. Brandon Jones is a good pick if you have to pick a Titan, though.
