Week 5 at State Farm Stadium brings a homecoming twist: three Titans with Cardinals pasts headline the matchup. Kyzir White, Carlos Watkins and Darrell Baker all spent time in Arizona before joining Tennessee, with White on the Titans’ practice squad. Their Arizona ties add intrigue for fantasy managers as roster moves and depth roles on defense and special teams could matter in deeper leagues. No Cardinals alumni are former Titans.

The narrative centers on a Tennessee defense that could lean on familiar schemes if White is active, while Baker and Watkins offer speculative upside only if promotions occur. For fantasy, monitor practice-status updates, injury news, and the early-week depth chart — a handful of players could suddenly become relevant in next-gen leagues or DFS if promotions happen.

Tennessee elevated Corey Levin and Carlos Watkins from the practice squad for Week 1 against Denver, while Amani Hooker secured a three-year extension. Levin provides experienced inside depth behind an injured Cushenberry, and Watkins adds veteran interior DL rotation. The move showcases confidence in the unit as Denver looms, with altitude and depth considerations shaping the game plan.

Broncos' center Cushenberry III remains sidelined, making Levin a key insurance piece. Watkins’ presence strengthens the Titans’ front, particularly in run defense and rotation-heavy packages. Fantasy managers should monitor this depth chart shift and the Mile High environment as Week 1 unfolds.

The Tennessee Titans are actively reshaping their roster during this free agency period, focusing on adding depth to several key positions. Recently, they secured one-year contracts with veteran cornerback Amani Oruwariye and defensive tackle Carlos Watkins, while also claiming linebacker Amari Burney off waivers from the Las Vegas Raiders. Oruwariye, a former fifth-round pick by the Detroit Lions, has experience with multiple teams and a productive track record, including 10 interceptions across his career. Watkins, also a seasoned player, brings understanding to the Titans' defensive line as they enhance their competitiveness in the league.
