New York Jets Daily Fantasy Spin
Jets cornerback D.J. Reed (knee) and defensive end Michael Clemons (triceps) are both listed as questionable to play in Sunday’s game against the Titans. Clemons is listed as the team’s starting right defensive end while Reed is listed as the team’s starting right cornerback.
New York defensive end Haason Reddick (contract dispute), linebacker Zaire Barnes (ankle) and guard Wes Schweitzer (hand) will all miss Sunday’s clash with the Titans. The Jets are reportedly exploring trade packages for Reddick while Barnes and Schweitzer were both placed on injured reserve this week.
Tennessee Titans Daily Fantasy Spin
Titans running back Tony Pollard got a lot of work in his team’s 24-17 loss to the Bears on Sunday. In that game, the former Cowboy had 16 carries for 82 yards and a touchdown. Pollard also caught 3 passes for 12 yards. He figures to get 10+ carries again on Sunday.
Tennessee wide receiver Calvin Ridley was a factor in the passing game last weekend. In his club’s loss to the Bears, Ridley recorded 3 receptions for 50 yards. The Alabama alum caught 76 passes for 1,016 yards and 8 touchdowns as a member of the Jaguars last year.

Jets vs. Titans Betting Prediction:
The Jets lost to the 49ers on Monday Night Football last weekend by a score of 32-19. There’s no shame in that, as San Francisco is one of the best teams in the league. Jets QB Aaron Rodgers only threw for 167 yards in the defeat, but he’s still finding his footing and getting acclimated to his new skill position group. The Niners’ defense is also one of the best in the NFL. The Titans’ defense without head coach Mike Vrabel won’t pose as much of a challenge to Rodgers and the Jets’ offense.
Tennessee blew a 17-0 lead to Chicago last weekend. The Titans allowed a blocked punt return for a touchdown and an ugly interception return for a touchdown. Those miscues caused Tennessee to ultimately lose a winnable game 24-17. Titans QB Will Levis threw 2 interceptions and lost a fumble against the Bears last weekend. The Jets’ defense is better than Chicago’s defense, so I could see Levis running into some trouble again on Sunday. In a slight contrarian play, I’m laying the points with the Jets on the road in Tennessee on Sunday afternoon.
