The Tennessee Titans will face the Indianapolis Colts in Week 16. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, especially regarding QB Mason Rudolph.
Is Mason Rudolph Playing in Week 16?
Rudolph is not listed in the injury report this week. Barring any setbacks, he is expected to play this weekend in place of Will Levis, who was benched during Week 15’s game.
We’ll continue to monitor the Titans’ injury report. You can also visit and bookmark our NFL Injury Tracker and Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.
Should You Start or Sit Mason Rudolph in Week 16?
Did you know that Mason Rudolph’s first name is “Brett”?
There ya go; now you can’t say I never teach you anything.
Rudolph was fine last week (209 passing yards with two touchdowns and an interception), but consider the source. He was able to leverage a Bengals matchup and kinda sorta almost be viable.
The Indianapolis matchup isn’t one that needs to be feared, but they aren’t Cincinnati.
Defensive ranks, 2024:
- Red-zone defense: Colts (17th), Bengals (31st)
- Goal-to-go defense: Colts (14th), Bengals (31st)
- Yards per completion: Colts (11th), Bengals (22nd)
- Deep pass TD%: Colts (second), Bengals (27th)
In a Superflex situation, I’d take Rudolph over a Xavier Worthy type, but that’s as far as I’m going.
