Jeremy McNichols News
The Atlanta Falcons signed former Tennessee Titans running back Jeremy McNichols to an undisclosed deal on Thursday. McNichols spent the last two seasons with the Titans, carrying the ball 88 times for 360 yards and one touchdown in 30 games (zero starts). He also had 40 receptions for 295 yards and one touchdown on 55 targets. The former fifth-round pick of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2017 out of Boise State will provide running back depth in Atlanta behind Cordarrelle Patterson, Damien Williams and rookie Tyler Allgeier. The Falcons also have Qadree Ollison and Caleb Huntley at the position.
Running back Jeremy McNichols was waived by the Tennessee Titans on Saturday, ending his two-year tenure with the franchise shortly before another postseason run. McNichols appeared in 14 games this season, compiling 156 yards on the ground and 240 yards as a receiver, including his lone touchdown on the year. Serving primarily as the team's third down back, the Titans will now operate with the duo of D'Onta Foreman and Dontrell Hilliard for the time being. McNichols' fantasy ceiling was usually capped by the presence of Derrick Henry (foot), who is expected to return to the fold for the playoffs, which overcrowded the Titans' backfield.
Tennessee Titans running back Jeremy McNichols rushed for 31 yards on seven carries and could not haul in his only target in Thursday's 20-17 win over the San Francisco 49ers. He was second in rushing attempts behind only D'Onta Foreman (nine) and led the team's backfield with 31 rushing yards. The Titans continue to rotate their backfield with McNichols, Foreman, and Dontrell Hilliard while star RB Derrick Henry (foot) is sidelined. Fantasy managers should look for other options as all three backs are not a strong play for the fantasy playoffs. McNichols is a dart throw at best in deep-league formats against the Miami Dolphins in Week 17.
