The Tennessee Titans are on a bye this week, which means we have a chance to take a dive into the first half of the season.

The Titans are the worst team in the NFL right now, and with the way they’re dismantling the defense, that doesn’t look to change anytime soon. It’s clear that the focus has switched from winning games to developing its young talent and rebuilding for next season. To do that, several players need to be impactful in the second half of the season.

Here are five players who must step up after the Week 10 bye.

WR Elic Ayomanor

With Calvin Ridley injured and Tyler Lockett gone, the Titans’ receiving corps has limited depth. Ayomanor beat out Van Jefferson for the starting role to start the season, but he has only shown flashes of the talent that landed him that job this season. Through the first nine games of the season, Ayomanor caught 26 receptions for 323 yards and two touchdowns.

The problem is that he was targeted 53 times and caught less than half of those targets. Ayomanor has to catch the passes that hit his hands and chest; the Titans cannot afford for him to drop those. He has to do better on the field and adjust his routes when he sees his quarterback is in trouble.

CB Marcus Harris

Harris is a rookie who is getting thrown to the wolves right now. His playing time increased after Jarvis Brownlee Jr. was traded, and now that Roger McCreary and Quandre Diggs are gone, he is the new starting nickleback. Most of his experience this season has been on special teams, or he’s simply sat on the sideline ready to go in case of injury. But now, the Titans need him to show them why he was drafted. He can’t afford mistakes or costly penalties.

Dennard Wilson will use the bye week to increase Harris’ awareness and set expectations. Harris needs to hit the ground running in Week 11.

LB Jaylen Harrell

The linebacking corps is losing players left and right. Dre’Mont Jones was traded to the Baltimore Ravens, Femi Oladejo and Ali Gaye are on injured reserve, and Arden Key has been out with an injury. That means that Harrell’s time on the field is increasing on defense. He often appears on special teams as a blocker, but with the defense’s lack of depth, he will be asked to do more. The Titans need him to step up and play at his best when they return from the bye.

RB Tyjae Spears

Spears has quietly been taking over the ground game in Tennessee. Tony Pollard absolutely still has a role, but if Spears really wants to take the starting job, he has to stay upright. He has to block when he’s called to block, adjust his routes to hit the gaps the line gives him, and continue being a reliable target for Cam Ward when needed. Spears has an explosiveness in his game that we haven’t seen the full potential of yet. With the Titans’ focus on developing their players during a rebuild, Spears can take advantage of less pressure and show the Titans what he is truly capable of.

LT Dan Moore Jr.

The number one job of the offensive line is to protect the quarterback. Moore has not been good at that this year, as Cam Ward has been sacked nearly 40 times this season. He is also responsible for multiple penalties in multiple games that resulted in losing a first-down play or a touchdown. As a veteran, he should not be making these mistakes, and he absolutely has to play better, especially if he wants to keep playing in the NFL after this season, whether it’s with the Titans or not.
