Javian Hawkins Fantasy Stats

The Tennessee Titans released running back Javian Hawkins on Tuesday. The Atlanta Falcons and the Titans have now released him. Hawkins, who recently signed with the Titans, rushed for 49 yards and a touchdown while hauling in one reception for seven yards in the preseason finale against the Chicago Bears.

Free-agent running back Javian Hawkins signed with the Tennessee Titans on Thursday. The Atlanta Falcons recently released him. The 21-year-old will compete for a roster spot on the RB depth chart with Brian Hill, Jeremy McNichols, and Mekhi Sargent. Hawkins averaged 5.8 yards per carry in each of his last two seasons in Louisville. He is not on the fantasy radar in 2021 but will look to have more success with the Titans after being let go by the Falcons at the end of the preseason.

Atlanta Falcons running back Javian Hawkins was cut from the roster on Tuesday. Hawkins was part of a running back competition for reps behind projected starter Mike Davis alongside Qadree Ollison, Cordarrelle Patterson, and D'Onta Foreman. The former Louisville halfback was an explosive playmaker in college, averaging over 5.8 yards per carry in each of his last two seasons- though he was outplayed by fellow back Caleb Huntley in preseason game action. The Falcons backfield appears to be trending towards a committee, with Mike Davis and Qadree Ollison getting the bulk of the work and Patterson operating as a change-of-pace back. Davis is the favorite to lead the backfield in touches and looks like a solid flex, RB2 target, though Ollison will cost drafters much less and could carve out a fantasy-friendly role.

Atlanta Falcons running back Javian Hawkins carried the ball five times for just two rushing yards while hauling in one reception for two yards in Friday's loss to the Titans. Hawkins was one of the underachievers for the Falcons in a bad day at the office, as he couldn't find much room to run behind the offensive line. The 21-year-old compiled 1,525 rushing yards during the 2018 season at Louisville, averaging an impressive 5.9 yards per carry for his three-year college career. Hawkins is competing for a backup running back spot, currently listed as the fourth back on the depth chart. He's a potential sleeper if he can flash in the preseason, though he'll need to put together a better showing during his next turn in game action.
