Mason Rudolph Takes Over For Titans In Second Half

Tennessee Titans quarterback Mason Rudolph took over as quarterback in the second half as Will Levis took a seat. The Titans could only muster up three points in the first half as Levis completed three of his five throws for 31 yards and was sacked once. Both quarterbacks have posted eerily similar stats this year, but Levis has started in one more win over Rudolph. They aren't playing for anything other than a better draft pick, so this seems to be a tryout to see if the team will hang on to both signal callers going into next season.

Mason Rudolph, Will Levis Will Both Play In Week 18

Tennessee Titans head coach Brian Callahan said that both quarterbacks Mason Rudolph and Will Levis will play in the Week 18 regular-season finale against the division-rival Houston Texans this coming Sunday. It means that fantasy managers still playing for something in two-QB superflex leagues should ignore both Rudolph and Levis this weekend. Tennessee chose to bench Levis after their Week 15 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals in favor of Levis, who hasn't been a noticeable upgrade. Rudolph has completed 64.62% of his 65 pass attempts with 445 yards, three touchdowns and four interceptions in two losses to the Colts and Jaguars. Levis, the team's second-round pick in 2023, has been too inconsistent in his second NFL season, tossing 12 TDs and 12 interceptions while also being sacked 40 times in 11 starts. There will obviously be very little upside for both QBs to close out the year.

Mason Rudolph Manages Just One Touchdown In Titans' Loss

Tennessee Titans quarterback Mason Rudolph completed 19-of-31 passes for 193 yards, a touchdown, and an interception in a 20-13 loss to the Jaguars Sunday. Rudolph tacked on another 23 yards rushing on five carries. It was an underwhelming day for the Titans QB as he failed to take advantage of a terrible Jacksonville pass defense, marking his sixth straight game with at least one turnover. It was also the first time in five games that Rudolph could not find the end zone more than once. It will be another divisional matchup in Week 18 as Tennessee hosts a Texans team allowing the 10th-most points to fantasy quarterbacks this season.

Mason Rudolph Has Favorable Matchup Against Jaguars In Week 17

Tennessee Titans quarterback Mason Rudolph comes into Week 17's matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars from a turbulent performance against the Indianapolis Colts, where he threw two touchdowns and three interceptions. Rudolph has proven to be serviceable overall, with multiple scores in each of his last three appearances and tallying his second-highest passing yard total last Sunday with 252. He's also slinging the ball, accounting for 60 passing attempts in less than a game-and-a-half since returning to action. Coming up for Rudolph is a Jaguars defense giving up the most points to opposing QBs in fantasy this season. While the last meeting between these teams ended in a low-scoring 10-6 final score, Rudolph is still an enticing option for Superflex or 2QB leagues.

Mason Rudolph Starting In Week 17

According to Ari Meirov of the 33rd Team, the Tennessee Titans are expected to give Mason Rudolph his second-straight start on Sunday afternoon against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Rudolph replaced Will Levis during their Week 15 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals and got the starting nod last weekend against the Indianapolis Colts. Despite losing this past weekend, Rudolph was able to lead the Titans to 30 offensive points, for the first time this season. In this game, Rudolph threw for 252 yards and two scores with three interceptions. He should be in a good position to have another solid scoring output this weekend as the Jacksonville Jaguars have allowed the second-most PPR points to opposing QBs this season. Fantasy managers in deeper Superflex formats should view him as a QB2 with upside.

No Decision Yet On Whether Mason Rudolph Will Start In Week 17

According to Tennessee Titans head coach Brian Callahan, he has not yet made a decision on his starting quarterback moving forward. Jim Wyatt of TennesseeTitans.com reported the news. Mason Rudolph got his fourth start of the year in Week 16 after taking over for a benched Will Levis the Sunday prior. Rudolph played relatively well, though he did toss three interceptions in their 38-30 loss to the Indianapolis Colts. "My goal is to put the QB on the field who gives us the best chance to win," said Callahan. With the head coach unwilling to dub the 29-year-old the team's starter moving forward, it leaves the door open for Levis to re-garner control of the offense with two weeks' worth of football left to play. Whoever is the starter in Week 17 will be primed for success in another exploitable divisional clash against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Mason Rudolph Has Another Game With Multiple Touchdowns And Turnovers

Tennessee Titans quarterback Mason Rudolph completed 23-of-34 passes for 252 yards and two touchdowns Sunday against the Colts and tacked on another three yards rushing on four carries. Rudolph also threw three interceptions in his return to the starting job, marking his fifth appearance in a row with at least one pick. If it weren't for the abundance of turnovers, Rudolph would make a fine fantasy quarterback, given he's passed for two touchdowns in each of his last three outings. He makes for a solid waiver wire pickup or starting option in 2QB leagues as he faces a Jaguars defense giving up the second-most points to fantasy QBs in Week 17.

Mason Rudolph Not Locked In As Rest-Of-Season Starter

Tennessee Titans head coach Brian Callahan confirmed Mason Rudolph will start at quarterback against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 16, but he is not naming him the starter for the rest of the season and will take it week by week. The veteran and former Pittsburgh Steelers backup is set to take over for Will Levis after another turnover-heavy game from the 2023 second-round pick out of Kentucky. Although the Colts have allowed the 12th-most fantasy points per game to quarterbacks, Rudolph is not worth rolling the dice on in the fantasy football playoffs. However, he has a small shot at upside for those counting on him in two-QB and Superflex leagues. If he posts a disastrous performance in Week 16, the Titans could go back to Levis in Week 17.

Mason Rudolph Expected To Start In Week 16

The Tennessee Titans are expected to start Mason Rudolph at quarterback against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 16, according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. This means 2023 second-round pick Will Levis is headed to the bench. Levis has committed 14 turnovers in just 11 games this season and has thrown for just 12 touchdowns. Rudolph has played in five games for Tennessee this year, completing 63% of his passes for 1,015 yards, six touchdowns, and five interceptions. The quarterback change does not dramatically affect the fantasy football outlooks for Tennessee's offensive weapons, but the offense could sustain more drives with the veteran under center.

Will Levis Benched, Replaced By Mason Rudolph

Tennessee Titans quarterback Will Levis has been benched and replaced by Mason Rudolph during the third quarter of Sunday's Week 15 game against the Cincinnati Bengals. The second-year quarterback led two touchdown drives early in the contest, but then the Titans turned the football over four times. At the time of his departure, Levis had completed eight of 12 passes for 89 yards, zero touchdowns, and three interceptions. Rudolph saw a little bit of action when Levis was injured earlier in the year, compiling a 59.4 percent completion rate, five total touchdowns, and five turnovers. Fantasy managers should stay tuned to see if Levis returns to the starting role next Sunday against the Indianapolis Colts, or if Rudolph wins the competition.

Mason Rudolph Leads Titans To Week 9 Win

Tennessee Titans quarterback Mason Rudolph completed 20 of 33 passes for 240 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception during Sunday's Week 9 win over the New England Patriots. He also took one sack and rushed for 19 yards. Rudolph wasn't perfect, but he had his first game this year with multiple passing touchdowns and has also thrown for over 200 yards three weeks in a row. With that said, Rudolph may lose his starting job if Will Levis (right shoulder) is healthy enough to play against the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 10.

Mason Rudolph In Line For Another Start

Tennessee Titans quarterback Mason Rudolph is expected to start on Sunday versus the Patriots. Will Levis (shoulder) is still working his way back, so the team will lean on Rudolph once again to handle things under center. But the 29-year-old hasn't played well during the 2024-25 campaign, throwing for 566 yards, two touchdowns, and three picks while completing 58.9% of his attempts. While Rudolph had some quality starts during his time in Pittsburgh, fantasy managers will be taking a gamble by putting him in the lineup in Week 9.

Mason Rudolph Projects To Be QB2 If Given The Starting Nod

Tennessee Titans quarterback Mason Rudolph should be viewed as a QB2 if he is given the starting nod on Sunday afternoon. Rudolph has started in each of the past two games and could get his third opportunity with Will Levis (shoulder), who is listed as questionable. Last weekend, Rudolph scored 26.2 PPR points as he threw for 266 yards with a score and added 29 yards and a rushing score on the ground. However, in his first start, Rudolph scored only 16.1 PPR points. This weekend, he faces a tough New England defense that has allowed the eighth-fewest points to opposing QBs. Fantasy managers in deeper Superflex leagues should only view the 29-year-old as a desperation QB2.

Mason Rudolph Leads Early Charge, Fades In Week 8 Loss

Tennessee Titans quarterback Mason Rudolph had his team looking competitive early on in Sunday's matchup with the Lions, leading two touchdown drives with the score knotted at 14 apiece a minute into the second quarter, but ultimately lost 52-14 after failing to score the rest of the game. The 29-year-old finished 22 of 38 passing with 266 yards, one TD pass, and two interceptions, plus he added four rushes for 29 yards and a rush TD of his own. Much to Calvin Ridley's delight, Rudolph gave him 15 looks and was able to connect on 10 of them for 143 yards. The Titans have a winnable matchup at home versus the Patriots in Week 9, but it is uncertain whether Will Levis will be ready or not by then. Neither one would realistically be a viable streaming option, but for Ridley managers at least, it seems Rudolph would at least be a slight upgrade for his fantasy prospects.

Mason Rudolph Scores Three Times in Blowout Loss

Tennessee Titans quarterback Mason Rudolph completed 22-of-38 passes for 266 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions in a 51-14 loss at Detroit on Sunday. He also tacked on 29 rushing yards and another score on the ground. It was a great fantasy output for Rudolph who finished the day with 19.54 points in standard scoring leagues, accounting for three total scores on the afternoon. Rudolph looked more comfortable operating this Tennessee offense which looked slightly more competent than last week but still struggled mightily to keep up the Detroit Lions high octane attack. The former Steelers backup is still not a trustworthy option even in 2QB leagues, and will remain that way next week at home against the Patriots.

Will Levis Inactive, Mason Rudolph To Start Week 8

Tennessee Titans quarterback Will Levis (right shoulder) is inactive for Week 8 against the Detroit Lions. He was listed as questionable after being limited in practice all week. With Levis sidelined, the Titans will roll out Mason Rudolph as their starting quarterback for the second consecutive week. Last Sunday, he completed a respectable 62.5 percent of his passes for 215 yards, one touchdown, and one interception. Ball security was an issue as he finished with three fumbles, including one recovered by the defense. Moving forward, Rudolph falls outside the top 24 fantasy quarterbacks.

Mason Rudolph Getting First-Team Reps

Tennessee Titans quarterback Mason Rudolph saw the majority of first-team reps during Thursday's practice according to Jim Wyatt of the TennesseeTitans.com. Wyatt further noted that Will Levis (shoulder) is still dealing soreness. Fantasy managers in Superflex formats should expect Rudolph to get the starting nod once again this weekend. Last week, Rudolph had a modest performance against a tough Buffalo defense as he threw for 215 yards with a score and an interception. He added 13 yards on the ground. Rudolph should only be started in deeper Superflex formats facing a Detroit Lions defense who has allowed the 20th-most points to opposing QBs this season.

Will Levis Likely To Be Held Out, Mason Rudolph Trending Toward Another Start

Tennessee Titans head coach Brian Callahan said that the team will likely give quarterback Will Levis (shoulder) one more week to heal from an AC joint sprain in his right shoulder. Nothing is official as of Wednesday, but the Titans appear to be leaning toward giving Mason Rudolph a second straight start in Week 8 against the Detroit Lions on Sunday. The 25-year-old needs rest more than anything, although he was listed as a limited practice participant on Wednesday. It remains to be seen if he'll be able to make the start next week against the visiting New England Patriots. The second-year signal-caller has completed 66.4% of his pass attempts through five games in 2024 but has made plenty of questionable decisions and has only five touchdowns and seven interceptions. The good news is the Titans continue to say that Levis is their starter when fully healthy.

Mason Rudolph Average In First Start For Titans

Tennessee Titans quarterback Mason Rudolph went 25-of-40 for 215 yards, one touchdown and one interception in the Week 7 loss to the Buffalo Bills. Rudolph also fumbled three times in the 34-10 defeat, losing one. With Will Levis nursing a shoulder injury sustained last week, Rudolph got the start and was mostly ineffective in a game where the Titans were actually leading at the half. The longtime Steelers backup led two scoring drives to put the Titans up 10-0 early in the second quarter, but from that point forward it was mostly stalled drives and off-target throws under pressure. With Levis likely out a few more weeks, Rudolph should continue to start for this Titans team that has looked like one of the worst in football through seven weeks. Up next is a trip to Detroit to take on the 5-1 lions.

Mason Rudolph Will Start Against The Bills

Tennessee Titans quarterback Mason Rudolph will start in Week 7 against the Buffalo Bills. Will Levis (shoulder) is still questionable. However, Levis will get the week off, with Rudolph taking over under center. While the move may slightly increase the Titans' chances of picking up the win, the signal-caller hasn't played well as a starter, amassing an 8-4-1 record while accumulating 2,797 yards, 16 touchdowns, and 10 interceptions dating back to his tenure in Pittsburgh. As a result, fantasy managers shouldn't consider him a starting option in Week 7, although he has some value in deep Superflex setups for those who are desperate.
