Payton

Payton is battling for a roster spot. WRs Brandon Jones (knee), Jonathan Orr (shoulder) and Courtney Roby (hamstring) remained out.

Many believed he passed Damien Nash on Tennessee’s depth chart, but it wasn’t to be. Look for Payton to end up on Tenneessee’s practice squad. Like many NFL Europe success stories, his body may be wearing down.

''I personally think I showed everything that I needed to show and this is just how things go down sometimes,’' Payton said. ''It is what it is. I didn’t ever doubt myself really. It’s just what happened. But I am taking it and kind of going with it, happy to be here still, but I am going to keep working. I’ll help this team any way I can.’'

He’s active today, playing over Damien Nash. He’s Chris Brown’s backup for the next four weeks, not Nash.

With Travis Henry suspended, Payton will continue serving as Chris Brown’s immediate backup. He’ll only be worth considering if Brown suffers an injury.

With Travis Henry suspended, Payton could see some time on third downs and as a receiver out of the backfield. He had four carries for 37 yards in his debut last week.

Payton has been decent, but not great when given opportunities in the last month. With Chris Brown possibly injured, Payton could remain the team’s backup.

Payton was filling in for Travis Henry as the Titans backup running back. He could be in a similar role next year, but isn’t worth much fantasy attention.

He’ll compete for a backup role with the Titans, but doesn’t have much fantasy upside.

The NFL Europe MVP looks like the third running back in Titans camp. Considering Chris Brown and Travis Henry have injury issues, he could be a factor this season.
