Titans' Will Levis: Pedestrian passing in loss
Will Levis completed 19 of 28 passes for 192 yards with a touchdown and an interception while adding four carries for 38 yards in the Tennessee Titans' 24-17 loss to the Jets on Sunday. He also lost a fumble.Levis was frequently under pressure while taking four sacks and and additional pair of official QB hits, and he had trouble consistently connecting with any receiver not named Calvin Ridley. Levis hit Ridley for a game-long 40-yard pass that also served as his only touchdown toss of the afternoon, but other than that game-tying play, the second-year signal-caller struggled with getting the ball downfield. Levis' contributions as a rusher were a welcome complement to his fantasy production, yet his pair of turnovers, which came in back-to-back possessions on the second quarter, both occurred deep in New York territory. Levis will aim to atone for a lackluster first two games in Brian Callahan's offense when Tennessee and the Packers face off in Week 3.

Titans' Will Levis: Throws backbreaking pick
Will Levis completed 19 of 32 passes for 127 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions in Sunday's 24-17 loss to the Bears. He added four rushes for 36 yards.The Tennessee Titans started quickly, limiting what Levis was asked to do in the first half as he attempted only 15 passes. He did manage his lone touchdown of the day late in the second quarter, a 17-yard connection with Chigoziem Okonkwo. The Bears made a run in the second half, which in turn forced Levis to the air more often and led to mistakes. The worst came midway through the fourth quarter when Levis attempted to escape pressure and desperately flung the ball toward the sidelines and into the waiting arms of Tyrique Stevenson for what turned out to be the game-winning touchdown. It wasn't the start to the season that Levis was looking for, as he averaged only 4.0 yards per attempt and completed just two passes for more than 20 yards.

Titans' Will Levis: Sharp in two-drive tune-up
Will Levis completed seven of eight passes for 118 yards in Sunday's 30-27 preseason win over the Saints.Levis hit on his first seven passes before overthrowing Calvin Ridley in the end zone on the second drive, leading to a field goal after Tony Pollard capped the first possession with a one-yard rushing touchdown. The pair of successful possessions came against the Saints' defensive backups, but it was still an encouraging dress rehearsal for Levis and the first-team offense heading into the Sept. 8 regular-season opener against the Bears.

Titans' Will Levis: Starts and scores Saturday
Will Levis completed four of five pass attempts for 35 yards while making two rushing attempts for three yards and a touchdown in Saturday's preseason win over San Francisco.Levis started the game's first two drives along with the rest of Tennessee's first unit as the offense looks to build a new identity under head coach Brian Callahan. The big-framed quarterback scored a rushing touchdown from in close, something we may see more often now that power back Derrick Henry is in Baltimore. With a revamped coaching staff and receiving corps, 2024 is poised to be a pivotal year for Levis' development both as the Tennessee Titans' franchise quarterback and as a rising fantasy asset.

Titans' Will Levis: Moves past foot issue
Will Levis (foot) participated in 7-on-7 drills during Tuesday's OTA session.Levis was slowed by a foot injury late last season, but he relayed in February that he was close to 100 percent healthy. The second-year QB appears to have put the issue behind him, and Levis got in some work with the Tennessee Titans' top wideouts Tuesday, a group that includes free-agent additions Calvin Ridley and Tyler Boyd along with returnees DeAndre Hopkins and Treylon Burks. With veteran Ryan Tannehill no longer in the mix, Levis is the team's clear-cut top QB, backed up by Mason Rudolph and Malik Willis. During his rookie season, Levis completed 149-of-255 passing attempts for 1,808 yards with eight touchdowns and four interceptions over nine starts.

Titans' Will Levis: Gets new No. 1 WR as Henry departs
Will Levis (foot) will enter the 2024 NFL season with new skill-position talent, headlined by Calvin Ridley being slated to join the Tennessee Titans on a four-year, $92 million contract, and by Derrick Henry set to be replaced by Tony Pollard in the backfield, Turron Davenport of ESPN reports.Tennessee adding a hopeful true No. 1 wideout in Ridley is arguably just as impactful as Henry's tenure as the franchise face finally coming to an end. Ridley joins veteran DeAndre Hopkins, giving Levis two proven pass-catchers who both surpassed 1,000 receiving yards in 2023, allowing Treylon Burks to slide down to the No. 3 role and benefit from lesser defensive coverage. On paper, Levis now looks set to benefit from one of the best three-receiver groups in the league, while the recently re-signed Nick Westbrook-Ikhine is a capable fourth man. Pollard, meanwhile, isn't nearly the between-the-tackles bruiser that Henry was, but he brings true three-down versatility and a skillset that's more interchangeable with second-year pro Tyjae Spears, allowing the Titans to swap both backs out freely without hinting at any specific playcall. Levis said in February at Super Bowl LVIII that he was already "close" to healthy, per Jim Wyatt of the team's official site.

Titans' Will Levis: Gets offensive-minded head coach
Will Levis (foot) will work with new Tennessee Titans head coach Brian Callahan in 2024, ESPN.com reports.Levis seemingly did enough as a rookie to enter Year 2 as a starter, though it's still up in the air if he's a franchise QB or more of a low-end starter/high-end backup. The Titans likely want to build their offense around the 2023 second-round pick, following a half-decade of run-first attacks centered on impending free agent Derrick Henry. That's not to say Henry is automatically done in Tennessee, though the fit would be questionable under a coach whose five seasons as offensive coordinator in Cincinnati (2019-23) saw the Bengals rank no higher than 17th in rush attempts and 23rd in rushing yards. Levis is no Joe Burrow, of course, but the addition of a passing-game-focused head coach at least suggests the Titans want to figure out what they have in the young QB rather than trying to hide him and rely on other parts of the roster. It remains to be seen if the team's ensuing offseason moves continue in that direction, with rumors already swirling that Callahan could try to bring WR Tee Higgins over from Cincinnati (Higgins might have other ideas). The foot/ankle injuries Levis dealt with late in 2023 should clear up by this spring.
