Browns Vs. Titans Preview: Questions Before Week 7
The Browns head to Nissan Stadium on Oct. 25 as the AFC North’s surprise 4‑2 team becomes the week’s first favorite against a 1‑5 Titans squad. Cleveland’s low‑scoring offense, led by Deshaun Watson (1,174 yards, 7 TDs, 24 sacks taken), leans on a strong defense that allows just 20.3 points per game. Tennessee’s secondary is in flux after benching corner Alontae Taylor, with Josh Williams set to start and only two interceptions recorded all season. Both clubs deal with injuries, including several Browns linebackers and Titans safety Kevin Winston Jr. The key battle pits Jeffery Simmons’ pass rush against Watson’s vulnerable protection. The matchup pits Browns’ 17.7 PPG and solid defense against Titans’ 14.0 PPG and struggling secondary.
Colts Rumors: Teams Interested in Trading for Jonathan Taylor
Multiple teams eye a trade for Colts star RB Jonathan Taylor, according to ESPN's Stephen Holder, just days after Indianapolis fires GM Chris Ballard following a 26-20 loss to the Titans that left the team 2-4. Taylor, who signed a $22 million per‑year extension through 2028, says a trade would be "crazy" and a disservice to teammates. He has 492 rushing yards, seven touchdowns and a 4.0 YPC in six games, still leading active players in yards per game. With the trade deadline looming, the Colts could also consider moving linemen DeForest Buckner and Quenton Nelson, while backup Seth McGowan remains a deep‑league stash.

5 Titans players need to show up vs. Browns in Week 7
The Titans face a 4-2 Browns squad in Week 7, and five players must step up for an upset. Defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons, fresh off two sacks and a forced‑fumble against the Colts, needs to pressure the error‑prone Deshaun Watson. Rookie wideout Carnell Tate, who logged six catches for 70 yards and a TD in Week 6, must keep the momentum alive. Safety Amani Hooker, the team leader with two interceptions, can swing the game with another turnover. Quarterback Cam Ward, limited to 102 passing yards in the Colts win, will be tested by Cleveland’s stout defense. Finally, rookie linebacker Anthony Hill Jr., the only steady presence at LB, must continue his sideline‑to‑sideline impact against both the run and pass.
Titans Could Trade $58 Million Star Just Months After Signing Him
The Tennessee Titans may trade Alontae Taylor, the $58 million cornerback they signed just seven months ago. ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler flags Taylor as a sleeper trade‑deadline target after a benching in Week 6 of the 26‑20 win over Indianapolis, noting his poor PFF grade (101st of 104) and 21 receptions allowed. At 27, Taylor’s $9.49 M (2026) and $20.5 M (2027) guarantees make a deal costly; no suitors have emerged, and any return could be a late‑round pick. With the Titans 1‑5 and the deadline Looming on Nov 10, the team faces a tough decision on the over‑paid corner.
