Tennessee’s Week 1 loss to Denver was closer than last year’s blowouts, yet the stat line stings: 133 yards of offense, 131 penalty yards, and 0 red-zone TDs. Four turnovers produced three points, so coaching and execution were the real differentiators.

End-of-half decisions by Callahan and a controversial non-challenge on a Ayomanor grab drew the most heat, highlighting the Titans’ play-calling gaps. Ward’s rookie show, Dike’s kick returns, Sutton’s big Denver night, and the QB/coach dynamic shape Titans’ fantasy outlook as Ward develops and Callahan reforms the scheme.

Joey Slye’s 63-yard preseason field goal at Nissan Stadium set a Titans history mark and signals Nashville may lean on a true long-range weapon. The kick, the longest in Titans history, mirrored a regular-season-distance capable of altering field position and energizing an offense that’s aiming to cross midfield with more consistency. He added a 53-yarder later, showing range, but preseason miscues remind that risk and reward come with the territory.

Even with his eighth team in six seasons, Slye’s target is clear: empower the Titans to strike from midfield and beyond. The moment drew admiration from teammates and coaches, while the competition on the field added context to how far a kicker can stretch a game plan in 2025. It’s a narrative fantasy managers will monitor as the season nears.

The Tennessee Titans have made a bold move in their special teams by signing veteran punter Johnny Hekker, a decision that comes after parting ways with fan-favorite Ryan Stonehouse. Hekker, who is recognized for his precise placement over sheer distance, brings a wealth of experience as he enters his 14th NFL season. His previous tenure under special teams coordinator John Fassel has set the stage for a seamless transition back, where he aims to contribute significantly to a Titans team eager for improvement after a challenging 2024 season.

Andres Borregales has made history by being selected as the highest-drafted kicker in this year’s NFL Draft, taken by the New England Patriots with the sixth pick in the sixth round. This Miami product received high praise from analysts, with Mel Kiper Jr. dubbing him 'automatic' and Louis Riddick labeling him a 'weapon' after watching his impressive pro day performance.

Riddick highlighted Borregales' ability to kick with power and precision, consistently hitting the ball high and deep. Drawing comparisons to former standout punter Johnny Hekker, who has often been referred to as a weapon by Patriots coach Bill Belichick, Borregales has the potential to become a crucial asset for New England. The selection indicates the Patriots’ commitment to securing a reliable kicker for future seasons.
