Updating a previous report, Corey Davis (ankle) was officially listed as a limited participant for Wednesday's practice.
Davis wasn't present for the portion of practice open to the media but was still listed as 'limited' on Wednesday's official report. His status will obviously be worth monitoring as the week progresses. A.J. Brown played 94 percent of the team's offensive snaps in Davis' lone absence this year and would be directly in line for more usage if the latter can't go for Week 16.

If I'm in your leagues, yep.FBG staff whiffed bigly on this guy in their 2017 post draft rookie rankings. Nearly every single other first round pick has outproduced this guy and they had him in the top 2. I'm cutting bait and hopefully can get a 3rd or something for him.
Titans coach Mike Vrabel said Corey Davis has entered the concussion protocol.
Fellow receiver Kalif Raymond has also entered the league's protocol. The injury could explain Tajae Sharpe's increased involvement in Sunday's loss to New Orleans. Davis hasn't been much of a factor anyway, averaging an anemic 34.3 yards over his current seven-game touchdown drought. Sharpe and A.J. Brown would again work as Ryan Tannehill's top targets if Davis can't go against the Texans in this week's regular season finale.

Corey Davis caught 5-of-8 targets for 65 yards in Tennessee's AFC Championship loss to the Chiefs.
Davis' third year in the league was nothing short of underwhelming as he failed to exceed 100 receiving yards at any point, eclipsing 80 just once all season. Even his production (27/364/1) in 10 games from Ryan Tannehill would ultimately amount to very little. Only 25, it's still more than plausible Davis breaks out before signing a second contract. That of course will still prove hard to accomplish if Tannehill returns in free agency and averages 27 pass attempts for the second straight season. Having declined across the board with 43/601/2 in '19 compared to his sophomore follow-up (65/891/4), Davis will merely be a late-round dart in fantasy leagues next year.

Yes, AJ Browns success did a lot to take away the QB/offense excuse.Hard to continue to blame it on QB play and the offense ran when the WR across from him lit it up in his rookie year.
Irving Fryar didn’t catch more than 60 passes or top 1,000 yards receiving until his 8th season in the NFL. His 11th to 14th seasons were decent production for fantasy football purposes.Yes, AJ Browns success did a lot to take away the QB/offense excuse.
I did recently give up on Corey Davis in a league and before I did I was trying to think of a WR in recent history who fit these parameters:
Break out in year 4 or soon after after spending first 3-4 years not stuck playing behind other players but given ample playing time/opportunity and who was not a one year wonder like a Brandin Lloyd. Basically a multi year starter who was a fantasy dud who in year 4 or later was a multi season fantasy stud or high performer.
I'm sure there are others and if so I'd like to hear them but all I could come up was Emmanuel Sanders.

I'm sure there are others and if so I'd like to hear them but all I could come up was Emmanuel Sanders. And even with him he was not really given as much opportunity his first few years as Corey but got 75 targets his third season and 112 his fourth. Sanders also got me thinking of how AJ Brown's success made me lower on Corey Davis. Once Sanders got a shot in Pittsburgh he was not very good, even with Big Ben throwing to him. So for all intents and purposes to me Sanders did not seem like much but then he popped later and even did so with QB's inferior to Big Ben. Maybe some players just suck in a certain system or with certain QB's? I don't think Corey Davis is an NFL teams WR1, and where I traded him was an FFPC league where I'm tight on roster space and just don't want to carry him another year hoping he leaves the Titans for a more productive system in 2021 but in the right system I could certainly see his career taking a Sanders type arc.

Thanks for the responses, good calls.Devante Parker has a shot at it next season
Wow that's the first I'd heard that he had turf toe this year. Sure would love to see them trade him to someone that can really use him.
That he never required a cortizone shot shows that it wasn't that bad and he (and team) did a great job managing it.Wow that's the first I'd heard that he had turf toe this year. Sure would love to see them trade him to someone that can really use him.
Buy? He's basically free now.
I drafted him in the 20th round of a $35 FFPC bestball tonight. He really is close to free right now.Buy? He's basically free now.
Worth a flier at this point. Highly unlikely, but so is every flier, right?I drafted him in the 20th round of a $35 FFPC bestball tonight. He really is close to free right now.
The Athletic's John Glennon does not expect the Titans to exercise Corey Davis' fifth-year team option for 2021.
Although it is guaranteed for injury only, Davis would be due roughly $15.8 million under the option, a sum his play has not come close to reflecting. The No. 5 overall pick of the 2017 draft was easily passed on the depth chart by second-round rookie A.J. Brown in 2019. It's hard to label Davis an outright bust — he posted 891 yards in 2018 — but he has not had the looks of a future No. 1 wideout. Davis does have youth on his side, having turned 25 just last month.

A tough year to trade a guy who has not produced well as the draft is pretty strong at that position. It will be interesting if it does happen what he could be had for.I still expect him traded.
There isn't a writer I know that thinks the Titans want to pay him 8 mil this year.
I know I've been saying this since the season ended and it didn't happen, but the draft and the week after is a common time for trades.
There are also strong reports that they love a couple WR prospects and with Humphries around there just wouldn't be a need for Davis then.
PleaseeeeeeI still expect him traded.

After DGB trade, gotta figure Eagles would be apprehensiveI keep envisioning him in an Eagle uniform. Davis and they grab a rook in the draft and they would be in much better shape.
A team could turn down the fifth year option then sign him to an extension at some agreed upon rate. New CBA increased the caps dramatically.A tough year to trade a guy who has not produced well as the draft is pretty strong at that position.

What's up with Humphries? They gave him a real big contract (Pats were all over him as well) but he seemed to be very underwhelming there.JRob discussing drafting a WR early and still have to bolster the WR corps(again, few times this offseason) lends more hmmm to this
They were very upset with how the slot WR worked out all season. They had huge plans for the slot and a switch from the 2 and 3 TE offense they used so much in 16-18. They love Humphries and Cameron Batson too. Batson got injured last year but he's a quick twitch guy "made" for the slot and one of those that would be a nice fifth WR. He'd be quiet most weeks but others, he could be a pain to cover and make a few real key plays.What's up with Humphries? They gave him a real big contract (Pats were all over him as well) but he seemed to be very underwhelming there.
It will be worth millions so ya gotta figure he's got whatever extra motivation there this offseason.I bet Davis breaks out
I see more the focus being on Brown now he has broken out. This leaves Davis, who to me, is a great route runner and catcher. The QB situation and the offense (RB heavy) had a lot to do with his production not being well. Brown will take catches, but I see more going to Davis than predicted... gut feelingIt will be worth millions so ya gotta figure he's got whatever extra motivation there this offseason.
He's been a good pro with everything off the field and training and all. Even everything he showed Brown last offseason. He just gets nerves in-game and doesn't do the exact things he worked on with Brown- like how to beat pressing CBs
Harrison wasn't great his first 3 years but way better than DavisMarvin Harrison

Rotoworld take:"The #Titans are declining WR Corey Davis' fifth-year option, source said." Via @TomPelissero
Titans declined Corey Davis' fifth-year team option for 2021.
He'll settle for $8.1 million on the final year of his rookie deal before becoming an unrestricted free agent (rather than making $15.6 million) in 2021. Davis just turned 25 in January but has yet to live up to the expectations of a former No. 5 overall pick, declining across the board in receptions (43), receiving yards (601), and touchdowns (2) behind A.J. Brown last year. A simple change of scenery for the former could very well be of use barring a surprising fourth-year breakout.
