BALLER MOVE: Add as RB depth but avoid in DFS

ANALYSIS: It's difficult to recommend any player in the Tennessee Titans' offense at this point. The team ranks 31st in total yards per game (309.9) and points per game (17.9), ahead of only the hapless San Francisco 49ers in each category.
Second-year running back Antonio Andrews has led the team in rushing in each of its last three games, but the totals (23, 57, 64 yards, respectively) have been uninspiring. Rookie David Cobb (calf) is eligible to return from the injured reserve/designated to return list this week, but there's no guarantee that he will. On top of Cobb's potential presence, the Titans will have a new head coach in Mike Mularkey and a new play-caller in offensive coordinator Jason Michael (fired head coach Ken Whisenhunt previously held both roles). Former second-round pick Bishop Sankey is still on the roster, and hybrid back/receiver Dexter McCluster is usually good for a few carries each week, too.
In short, the Titans' offense is a muddled mess. Mularkey and Michael could come in and pound Andrews 20-plus times in an attempt to control time of possession against a high-powered New Orleans Saints team this weekend. Or they could turn rookie quarterback Marcus Mariota loose against a defense that just allowed six passing touchdowns against the New York Giants. Andrews is worth owning as depth, but expecting more than that would be a mistake.
