Anthony Firkser Fantasy

The Tennessee Titans re-signed tight end Anthony Firkser to an undisclosed one-year deal. The Titans also brought back fellow tight end Geoff Swaim earlier this week. Firkser isn't much of a blocker, but he had career-highs in catches (39) and receiving yards (387) while also finding the end zone one time last season. There's a chance that Firkser could see an even bigger role in 2021 with Jonnu Smith no longer around, but the Titans could still add to the position in the draft or through free agency. The 26-year-old has also lined up in the slot in the past, and wide receiver Adam Humphries is no longer around. Firkser could be a fantasy sleeper at the tight end position if he's in line for a much bigger role, but his lack of blocking skills could also keep his upside rather low.

Tennessee Titans tight end Anthony Firkser will fill in for injured Jonnu Smith this week against the Browns. Fantasy players should have all the confidence in the world in firing up Anthony Firkser, who accrued a team-high 21.9% target share with 29 routes on Ryan Tannehill's 46 dropbacks in his only spot-start for Smith this year. Smith wasn't able to practice at all this week after his egg in the box score from Sunday, so Firkser should play quite nicely in DFS and should be spot started if you are looking for help at tight end.

The Tennessee Titans agreed on a one-year contract extension with tight end Anthony Firkser on Thursday. Firkser was on track to become an exclusive-rights free agent in March. Financial terms of the deal weren't disclosed. The Harvard alum had two big touchdown catches in the playoffs and hauled in 14 passes for 204 yards and a touchdown in 15 games during the regular season. Firkser caught three passes for 45 yards and the two scores in the postseason. Tennessee might be moving on from veteran Delanie Walker this offseason, but even so, Firkser will likely back up Jonnu Smith in 2020, making him a fantasy afterthought.
