Jeffery Simmons Fantasy

Tennessee Titans defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons (knee) did not take part in practice on Wednesday. Simmons will need to get in some practice time later this week if he hopes to play in Week 16 against the Packers. While Tennessee's defense should be avoided for this matchup against Green Bay's high-powered offense under Aaron Rodgers, Simmons has been a borderline fantasy starter in IDP leagues at the defensive line position this season. The 23-year-old hasn't had a sack since Week 12 against the Colts, but he does have 47 combined tackles (three for loss), 12 QB hits, five passes defensed, a forced fumble, three fumble recoveries and three sacks on the year. Tennessee will need Simmons on Sunday to try and slow down the Packers.

Tennessee Titans first-round rookie defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons (knee) said he's not "rushing anything" in his rookie season as far as getting back onto the field as he rehabs an ACL tear. "If I dont play this year, Im fine with it, but my goal is to get healthy on my time and on this teams time. Theres no time limit and when I can come back," Simmons said. The 19th overall pick in the draft suffered his torn ACL in February while training, and he could return near the end of the 2019 season, but the Titans have no incentive to rush him. There is no timetable for him to run or jog yet. Simmons will surely help the Titans pass rush when he's healthy, but that might not be until 2020.

The Tennessee Titans selected Mississippi State defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons with the No. 19 overall pick in the 2019 NFL draft. Simmons was found guilty of malicious mischief in 2016 in an incident that involved several women, which is why he fell in the first round this year. Off-field issues aside, Simmons is a good football player that should be able to produce on Tennessee's defensive line. A lot of teams took Simmons completely off their draft boards because of his background. He has top-five talent, so he could wind up being a steal if he can stay healthy. Because of a knee issue, Simmons is a candidate for the Physically Unable to Perform list to begin the 2019 season.
