The Tennessee Titans have a very winnable game against a struggling Houston Texans team this weekend. That being said, any divisional matchup is tough. After this week, the schedule gets a bit more difficult, though.
The Titans will face the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 9, and their offense just got a bit more dynamic.
The Chiefs traded for wide receiver Kadarius Toney, a former first-round pick for the New York Giants. Toney struggled with injuries during his time in New York, but his physical ability is undeniable.
When healthy, he is one of the most difficult receivers to tackle in the NFL. His shiftiness is elite, so the Titans must prepare for that.
Toney has just four touches so far this season. That's partly due to injuries and quarrels with the coaching staff with the Giants.
Last season, he recorded 39 receptions for 420 yards.
The Titans have to avoid defending him how the Dallas Cowboys did in 2021, though. In that game, he caught 10 passes for 189 yards. That game showed how explosive he can truly be, and his QB is now Patrick Mahomes.
The Chiefs are on their bye week, so they'll have time to introduce Toney to the playbook. He will have more time to get completely healthy as well.
He could undoubtedly get involved against the Titans next week.
The matchup will be a bit tougher for Tennessee now that he is a part of the Chiefs' offense.
