The Titans’ 23-20 preseason win over Atlanta served as a clear view into the depth chart as Tennessee shifted its focus to developing players rather than veterans. Kendall Brooks anchored the Titans’ defense with a sterling 95.7 grade, underscoring a crowded group that could shape IDP and depth roles this season. On offense, Gunnar Helm led the way with a 90.2 grade, followed by standout rookie Ayomanor with an 81.6 and Jaelyn Duncan near the top of the line. The night also exposed decision points at several spots, including the tight end room, where Chig Okonkwo flashed but ended the evening in the bottom five among blockers. The Titans will draw meaningful conclusions from this tape as they approach the regular-season roster decisions.

Overall, the game reinforced the Titans’ plan to evaluate young talent across multiple units. Brooks’ performance added optimism about the defense’s internal competition and potential splash plays, while Helm and Ayomanor provided playoff-lit flashes for the receiving corps—important notes for fantasy managers watching for emerging rotational contributors. The Falcons offered a contrasting showcase of depth as both teams looked ahead to Week 1 prep, but the Titans’ young core appeared ready to push for meaningful snaps when the games count begins.
