Who Should I Start? Mason Rudolph or Gabriel Davis

Monday, October 28, 12:14 PM

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.

Per Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Doug Pederson, wide receiver Gabe Davis (shoulder) "should be fine" for Sunday's road matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles. The 25-year-old wideout exited Sunday's 30-27 loss to the Green Bay Packers in the second quarter after picking up a shoulder injury, and although he was deemed questionable, he did not return to the contest. Jacksonville was down three WRs in this one, with Brian Thomas Jr. (chest) and Christian Kirk (collarbone) also forced from the matchup early. Unfortunately, Kirk is done for the season after undergoing surgery on his clavicle. However, Davis and Thomas Jr. appear to be in no danger of missing the team's Week 9 road matchup. With Kirk out, the former Buffalo Bill figures to see an uptick in usage.
