Nate Washington, Zach Mettenberger, Kendall Wright Post-Week 11 Fantasy Reaction

Predicting who will break out in the Tennessee Titans passing game this season has been as difficult as any fantasy decision. In Week 11, it was Nate Washington who broke out with one explosive play.

Zach Mettenberger also spread the ball around in his second start at the NFL level. Several receivers were targeted, but none more than Kendall Wright. However, it was Washington's play that set the tone and equaled his best fantasy outing this season—and his first touchdown.

Comp.-Att.	Pass Yds	TD-INT	Rush Yds	Fantasy Points (Standard)
15-24	263	2-1	0	16.52

Player	Rec.	Targets	Rec. Yds	Rec. TDs	Fantasy Points
Nate Washington	1	2	80	1	14.00
Kendall Wright	4	8	70	0	7.00

The rookie quarterback wasn't asked to do much, but still had a huge impact for fantasy owners. Though he likely wasn't started outside of extremely deep leagues, he might be an option moving forward for owners in need.

A rough start for Mettenberger gave way to a standout game, as SportsNation noted in the third quarter:

After being mostly forgotten about for the season, Washington's 80-yard touchdown in the first half was his biggest of the year. It was also the longest pass play for the franchise in over three years, per the Titans' Twitter account:

Outside of Washington, the more reliable receiver was Wright. The third-year receiver was targeted early and often by Mettenberger and continues an up-and-down fantasy season. His inability to reach the end zone hurts his value, but Wright is still the better option.

Facing the Philadelphia Eagles, New York Giants and Jets down the stretch, any receiver might put up good numbers. However, the rookie QB has a chance to exploit weaker secondaries.

Given the fact that both are playing with a young signal-caller, neither is guaranteed to go off in any given week. But with decent weapons around him, Mettenberger might be a decent pickup in deep leagues to help make a playoff run.
