3 Tennessee Titans who could be fantasy football sleepers in 2020

Davis took a step back in terms of production last season. One year after finishing with a career-high 891 yards and four touchdowns in 2018, Davis totaled just 601 yards and two scores in 2019.

Chemistry seems to be an issue with Davis and starting quarterback Ryan Tannehill, as the former No. 5 overall pick was missed when open on several occasions last season.

Fortunately for Davis, Tannehill has acknowledged that he needs to improve his chemistry with the wide receiver, so that should be a point of emphasis in training camp.

If Davis and Tannehill can get on the same page, and with opposing defenses focusing more on A.J. Brown after an upstart rookie season, Davis could find more targets and better production in 2020.

Between dealing with an injury that forced him to miss four games and an overall lack of usage in the offense, Humphries’ 374 yards were the lowest amount he has totaled since his rookie season.

For 2020, the hope is that Humphries can not only stay healthy, but an increased familiarity in the Titans’ system will lead to more targets and yards for the 26-year-old.

Humphries will likely never be the kind of contributor he was in 2018 with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in their pass-heavy attack, but he could work his way to at least some viability as a spot starter this season.

The vast majority of attention in the Titans backfield will go to Derrick Henry in 2020 after the Alabama product led the league in rushing and finished as a top-five back in PPR (points-per-reception) leagues in 2019.

However, with a run-heavy approach in Tennessee, there is room for two backs to make an impact in fantasy, and the Titans’ third-round pick, Evans, could potentially have some FLEX viability this season, albeit not likely on a weekly basis.

Should Evans garner at least a handful of carries every week and regular work in the passing game thanks to Henry’s shaky history there, the explosive rookie might be able to total double-digit touches most weeks and emerge as more than just a handcuff.
