15. team. 35. . . . Tennessee Titans

15.  Tennessee Titans

A great running game is only going to get you so far if the rest of your team is falling short. The Titans are finding this out. Derrick Henry has been a beast in his first five games — racking up 640 rushing yards and 7 touchdowns.

Meanwhile, Ryan Tannehill has graded out as the 5th-best quarterback through the first five weeks. Even with this, their offense is scoring just 26.4 points per game — which is almost exactly what they are allowing their opponents per contest (26.0).

Something’s got to give here, and with a lack of talent on the defensive side of the ball, Tennessee needs to start elevating their offensive into the ‘elite’ category — they’ve got the offensive line and skill players to do so.

Though they lead the AFC South (likely the worst division in football), their schedule has been very easy. In their only difficult game so far, they were blown out by the Arizona Cardinals. In Week 1. They will have a chance to prove their worth against the Bills this week.
