Quarterback
Davis Mills: Mills cashed in his first QB1 scoring week of the season last week against the Raiders, throwing for a season-high 302 yards with two touchdowns.
Mills runs into another strong streaming spot again this week against a Titans defense that has allowed four QB1 scoring weeks in six games. Tennessee has allowed 0.50 passing points per attempt (29th), aided by allowing 7.9 yards per pass attempt (30th) and a 5.8% touchdown rate (29th).
When these teams played in the season finale last year, Mills threw for 301 yards and three touchdowns. Mills is in play as a streamer in 1QB leagues things are thin, but with the status of Brandin Cooks in the air paired with the loss of Nico Collins, Mills more of a matchup-based QB2 option.
