Tennessee Titans Snap Counts

With Marcus Mariota out, Matt Cassel played the entire game. DeMarco Murray played just 54% of the snaps, with Derrick Henry played 46%. No real surprise with nothing to play for. Rishard Matthews continued his solid season, playing 87% of the team snaps, and found the end zone.

Marcus Mariota played 41 snaps before going down with a season-ending injury. Matt Cassel played the remaining snaps, which should be the case again next week. Demarco Murray continued his strong role, playing 85% of the snaps. Rishard Matthews and Delanie Walker remain the passing game options.

Tennessee came into Kansas City and shocked the Chiefs. DeMarco Murray played 79% of the team snaps, while Derrick Henry came away with all the touchdowns. Rishard Matthews played 96% of the team snaps this week, with Tajae Sharpe playing 79%. Delanie Walker played 68% of the snaps.

Tennessee had an impressive win against Denver this past week, and DeMarco Murray was a guy they leaned on heavily. He played 81% of the snaps and the end zone. The Titans used a lot of two tight end sets, as Fasano, Supernaw, and Walker all saw a healthy amount of snaps.

Bye Week

Marcus Mariota kept things rolling with his offense this week, and Rishard Matthews caught another touchdown. He played 88% of the snaps, and has his role solidified. DeMarco Murray didn't get the touchdown, as Derrick Henry played the role of vulture, but played 88% of the team snaps.

Tennessee fell short in Indy, but it was the usual story here. DeMarco Murray played 99% of the team snaps. Kendall Wright, Tajae Sharpe, and Rishard Matthews led the way among wideouts, with Delanie Walker saw 75% of the snaps. Unfortunately he was only targeted 8% of the time.

Tennessee put the beatdown on Green Bay, and we saw some more solidified snaps this week. Rishard Matthews played 82% of the snaps and Kendall Wright played 43%. He is still behind Sharpe, but gaining way. DeMarco Murray of course played his usual 77% of the snaps.

With Derrick Henry out, there was no reason to believe DeMarco Murray wouldn't be out there on every play. He was close, playing 95% of the snaps. Rishard Matthews played 89% of the snaps and was targeted just as much as Delanie Walker was. Kendall Wright took a jump this week as well.

DeMarco Murray played 58% of the snaps this week due to injury, and the Titans will monitor his situation. Derrick Henry would be a great fill-in option. Rishard Matthews led the wideouts in snaps this week, with Tajae Sharpe coming second. Kendall Wright continues to produce on very little targets.

DeMarco Murray played 96% of the snaps, and yet again this is a reminder that Derrick Henry is irrelevant. Delanie Walker played 54 snaps this week, and after a few down weeks in snaps, this is encouraging. Kendall Wright played 37 snaps, which was higher than the last week where he scored a touchdown.

It was the second straight week that Marcus Mariota played very well. Kendall Wright had a monster week, yet only played 36% of the team snaps. Tajae Sharpe, Andre Johnson, and Rishard Matthews all struggle to get above the 80% of the snaps. DeMarco Murray played 95% of the snaps.

It was Marcus Mariota's best week of the season. It didn't exactly influence snaps elsewhere. We saw the usual heavy workload from DeMarco Murray, who played 60 snaps. Delanie Walker's snaps were down again, playing just 58% of the snaps. Still not sure if this is due to injury, or a scheme.

Derrick Henry was not used at all this week, as DeMarco Murray played 96% of the snaps. He was utilized in 43% of them, which is a huge number. Tajae Sharpe continues to see snaps, but this passing game is a disaster. It was also clear that Delanie Walker wasn't healthy, playing just 35 snaps.

We saw DeMarco Murray carry the workload in Week 3 for Tennessee, playing 51 snaps, which was 25 more than Derrick Henry's. There was no Delanie Walker this weekend, which caused Jace Amaro and Anthony Fasano to split time. The receiving core still has their issues, and Rishard Matthews played just 63% of the snaps.

DeMarco Murray continues to lead the Titans in snaps (61%), but Derrick Henry played 46% of the snaps behind him. The value darling Tajae Sharpe played 100% of the snaps, and Delanie walker was behind him. Rishard Matthews played 54% of the snaps, we can see the secondary WR are very limited.

Tajae Sharpe was a value darling, and is a hot name right now. He played 96% of the snaps, which bodes well for his relevance. Delanie Walker was right behind him with 81%. Now the running back situation was heavily in DeMarco Murray's favor, playing 75% of the snaps. Derrick Henry will still have a role, at 31%, but overall he wasn't on the field a ton.

Tennessee Titans Snap Count Breakdown

Looking at the receiving core, Tennessee did not have a receiver player over 75% of the snaps. That is something that could change in 2016, but also would not surprise me if it didn't. Dorial Green-Beckham had 56% of the snaps, which came second to Harry Douglas (69%). Both Kendall Wright and Justin Hunter played 36 and 39 percent of the snaps last season, failing to make a real impact within the core. At the moment Rishard Matthews and Tajae Sharpe are being talked about to be starters, so expect a major position battle for regular season snaps. Given Tennessee's management, don't trust that the best players make their way in front. Marcus Mariota's favorite target, Delanie Walker, was on the field for 66% of the team snaps. Expect Walker to be another heavily used tight end for Mariota, and keep a similar pace in snaps.

DeMarco Murray did not work out well in Chip Kelly's system last season, as Darren Sproles and Ryan Matthews had more of an impact. In 2016, Murray will spend time in Tennessee, and is being prepped for the workhorse role again. Tennessee lacked a true starting running back in 2015, as Antonio Andrews had 40.8% of the carries, and Dexter McCluster sat at 29.5%. Yes, those are gross names and numbers. Murray shall be around the 60% mark, while rookie, Derrick Henry takes on the rest. Tennessee has been impressed by Henry's receiving, so you might see him a bit more on passing downs. Henry would have had a possibility for a big workload if Murray didn't arrive, but 65-35 is about right for what the workload should be. Of course if Murray went down, Henry would eat up the work. Now we are talking specifically snaps, but given Tennessee might be down a lot, the hot hand in the passing game might be the higher value.
