Khari Blasingame Daily Fantasy News, Rankings, Projections

Khari Blasingame has been activated to the 53-man roster from IR and Cody Hollister has been elevated from the practice squad for Sunday's game against the New England Patriots. Blasingame will help in the depleted backfield with Jeremy McNichols already being ruled out, though Blasingame is not expected to play a major role. The bulk of the carries should be handled by Dontrell Hilliard and D'Onta Foreman. The severely depleted receiving corps of the Titans will get another member with Hollister being elevated. Hollister should play as the number four receiver for the Titans behind Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, Dez Fitzpatrick, and Chester Rogers.

Khari Blasingame has been ruled out for Sunday night's game against the Los Angeles Rams. Blasingame was not expected to play much of a role and his absence shouldn't be too DFS relevant despite occurring on a showdown slate. Adrian Peterson and Jeremy McNichols are expected to lead the backfield with Dontrell Hilliard likely to be called up from the practice squad to back them up.

Julio's hamstring woes continue, as the injury that he suffered a few weeks ago will keep him out as the Titans prepare to play the Indianapolis Colts. Jones has played the last two games, but has only been able to play 65% and 43% of snaps; it looks like the Titans will try to rest him completely and hope it that helps him in the long term. This should lead to a few more snaps for Marcus Johnson, Nick Westbrook-Ikheine, and Josh Reynolds, although the main winner will certainly be A.J. Brown. The Titans do run two tight sends frequently, so despite the opportunity for some receivers to play, DFS consideration should remain with A.J. Brown and Derrick Henry. As for the RBs behind Henry, it'll be Jeremy McNichols, as Evans and Blasingame were both ruled out, and Evans was placed on IR and is done for the year.

Julio Jones (hamstring), Chester Rogers (groin), and Khari Blasingame (knee) all logged DNPs Wednesday ahead of their matchup Sunday against the Indianapolis Colts. The biggest concern here is Jones who has been limited so far this season, if he is unable to go A.J. Brown (coming off a big game) could see heavy usage along with Marcus Johnson and Josh Reynolds playing an increased role. Rogers would also be in the mix if he is available to play a larger role. It is early in the week, but this is a situation to keep an eye on as some value at receiver could open up if Jones is forced to miss this weekend's contest.

Ahead of the Titans MNF game, there were a few transactions that would marginally affect the showdown slate. Carter was elevated to the gameday roster, which is a likely sign that their regular fullback, Khari Blasingame, will sit; he's currently listed questionable. Evans was not elevated from the I.R., so he will not make his season debut yet. Jeremy McNichols is listed as questionable, but likely will remain the backup RB assuming he is active.

Chester Rogers, Jeremy McNichols, and Khari Blasingame are all listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Buffalo Bills. Chester Rogers looks to slot in as the WR3 with both Julio Jones and A.J.. Brown healthy, so if he were to miss Marcus Johnson or Josh Reynolds would likely step into this role. McNichols should serve as Derrick Henry's backup but if he were to miss Darrynton Evans could be activated off IR and used in this role (Evans is said to be close to returning and has been designated for return since October 6th). The big news for the Titans is that Julio Jones was able to log full practices this week and will be able to return this Monday after dealing with a hamstring injury. He should slot in opposite A.J. Brown in a passing attack that has underwhelmed so far this season. Jones and Brown should be considered on the showdown slate as the Titans will likely be playing from behind and will need to rely on the passing game to keep pace with the Bills.

Darrynton Evans is inactive today, but he was not projected to have a real role in the offense anyways. Khari Blasingame will work as the Titans' third RB.
