Vince Young, Tennessee Titans Down and Out in Fantasy NFL Week 12's Fallers

Vince Young was placed on injured reserve this week and it seems there is turmoil in Tennessee. The new dilemma is whether or not management will side with Young or head coach Jeff Fisher next season. Regardless, Young's absence does not bode well for Randy Moss, who will have to deal with third stringer Rusty Smith. Do not expect Moss to be pleased the rest of the season as the Titans are steadily falling apart.

The Titans aren't the only team falling apart fast. The New York Giants just lost Hakeem Nicks for at least three weeks. They were already without Steve Smith. Head coach Tom Coughlin is reportedly going to start Brandon Jacobs against Jacksonville instead of Ahmad Bradshaw due to fumbling concerns. We'll see how long that lasts as Jacobs will most likely fumble this week too.

Injuries, depth chart changes and poor performances; this week's edition of the Fantasy Fallers has it all.

Vince Young’s rocky career with the Tennessee Titans has hit an all time low.

It is being reported that Jeff Fisher told Young’s teammates that Young quit on the team.

Young has since been placed on injured reserve with a thumb injury and will not return this season.

It remains to be seen if the gifted athlete returns to Tennessee at all next season.

Third stringer Rusty Smith takes over for Young as Kerry Collins is still out with injury.

Bradshaw suffered his worst game of the season Week 12.

The worst part about it, is Bradshaw has now fumbled his starting gig away to Brandon Jacobs.

This is an odd decision in my opinion as Bradshaw is clearly the better player and Jacobs is just as prone to fumble the ball too.

Expect Bradshaw to still be involved in the game plan and remain effective.

Still, losing one’s starting job lands them on the falling list.

Fantasy owners will be without one of the premiere receivers in the game for at least three weeks.

Nicks was diagnosed with compartment syndrome in his leg.

Fantasy owners need to hang on to their stud wide receiver, but they need to search elsewhere for production for the next few weeks.

Vernon Davis has been bothered by an ankle injury and seemed to aggravate it Week 11. Although he is expected to play Monday Night against the Cardinals in an ideal matchup, fantasy owners need to temper their expectations.

Troy Smith is a good quarterback, but the offense has not been good recently, getting shutout against Tampa Bay. Davis caught just one pass for three yards.
