Quarterback

Jimmy Garoppolo: Garoppolo remained efficient last week, completing 18-of-23 passes for 235 yards (10.2 yards per pass attempt) with a score. The fantasy points (13.8) were modest due to game script and limited passing volume, but Garoppolo has played his best football of the season since that rain-soaked Sunday night game against the Colts. 

Over his past eight games, Garoppolo has averaged 9.0 yards per pass attempt and completed 68.9% of his passes over that stretch. He still has not thrown more than two touchdown passes in a game yet but has shown to be a solid floor-based QB2 as he has finished lower than QB16 in just one of those eight games. 

The Titans are 12th in passing points allowed per game (14.3) to opposing passers.
