Indianapolis Colts DFS Spin
Colts running back Jonathan Taylor missed the team’s past two games due to an ankle injury, but he’ll be back in action Sunday against Tennessee. Normally it would be a no-brainer to start Taylor, but he only ran for 42 yards on 20 carries in Indy’s last game against Tennessee, so there’s some risk there. Taylor is skilled enough that it may be worth the gamble.
Indianapolis tight end Mo Alie-Cox might be a good sleeper play. In the Colts’ last game against the Titans on October 2nd, Alie-Cox had his best game of the year, reeling in 6 passes for 85 yards, and 2 touchdowns. For wide receivers, Indianapolis’s #1 wideout Michael Pittman Jr. exploded for 134 receiving yards on 13 catches in the Colts’ win over the Jaguars last week. He might be primed for another big day against a Titans defense that is allowing 287.6 passing yards per game, the worst mark in the league.
Tennessee Titans DFS Spin
Titans running back Derrick Henry is almost always a solid play and he will be this week against the Colts. Henry has had three consecutive games where he ran for at least 85 yards and scored at least one touchdown. All three contests were Tennessee wins. He also posted 114 rushing yards and a touchdown in the first game between these two clubs three weeks ago. He should see a heavy workload on Sunday.
It’s been slim pickings for Titans’ wide receivers this year and they only have one player with over 200 receiving yards on the season. That is Robert Woods. He might be worth a look if you need a value play. But I’d consider the Titans’ defense as a long-shot DFS play. They are 10th in the NFL with 2.6 sacks per game and 14th with 1.4 takeaways per game. Matt Ryan might be prone to make some mistakes on the road in Nashville on Sunday.
Colts vs. Titans Betting Trends
Tennessee is 5-1-1 ATS in their last 7 games following a bye week.
Tennessee is 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games following an ATS win.
Indianapolis is 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games against the AFC South.
The favorite is 14-6 ATS in the last 20 meetings between Indianapolis and Tennessee.
Colts vs. Titans Prediction:
The Tennessee Titans have defeated the Indianapolis Colts 4 out of the last 5 times they’ve faced them, including a 24-17 Week 4 win in Indianapolis. I believe that Tennessee’s head coach Mike Vrabel provides the Titans with a coaching advantage over Frank Reich and the Colts, and I think Matt Ryan has been so inconsistent that he can’t be counted on in a difficult road test with the AFC South lead on the line. I’ll lay the points with Tennessee.
