The Tennessee Titans are dealing with injuries to their top two wide receivers ahead of Week 4, and that could be a major problem for the Titans and for fantasy football players. Julio Jones is currently getting treatment on a leg injury and is up in the air for the matchup against the New York Jets, per NFL Network's Ian Rapaport, while A.J. Brown could miss a week or two with a hamstring injury.
Given the Titans are playing the 0-3 Jets, they could still easily win without their two star receivers by feeding Derrick Henry and continuing Zach Wilson's brutal start to his NFL career. However, Ryan Tannehill would surely love to have at least one of those guys available as a weapon on the outside.

And, of course, fantasy football players will be keeping a close eye on the status of Jones and Brown as this weekend approaches. If they can't go, the next wide receivers in line are Chester Rogers, Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, Josh Reynolds and Cameron Batson. There are no standout tight ends on the roster, so there's not really anybody to highlight there.
When it comes down to it, Henry is going to be a workhorse back no matter what, but one has to think he'll get even more opportunities if the Titans are down their top wideouts. This could also lead to the Jets stacking the box more, but it might not even matter against that beast in Tennessee's backfield.
