The Green Bay Packers must ensure they stop or slow down these three dangerous players from the Tennessee Titans in their Week 16 matchup.

The Green Bay Packers have their toughest defensive matchup of the season when the 10-4 Tennessee Titans come to town on Sunday. With an outside chance to clinch home-field advantage throughout the playoffs this week, Green Bay needs to figure out a way to slow down Tenessee’s dangerous offense.

It begins (but doesn’t end) with their running game. I’m sure you’re aware of a beastly running back named Derrick Henry (more on him later) and he’s led the Titans to the second-most rushing yards in the NFL and the third-most yards per rush (5.0). However, Tennesee also has a sneaky good passing game that ranks third in net yards per attempt. This will be no small task for the Packers’ defense, as here are the three most dangerous Titans’ offensive players they must contend with.

3. Corey Davis

The former fifth overall pick of the 2017 NFL Draft is the forgotten receiver in Tennessee, but he can make you pay for that neglect. He’s on pace for a career-high in receptions (he’s at 60 and needs just five more) and already has a career-best in reiving yards (945) and reception touchdowns (5). PFF also has him as the highest-graded receiver on the team with a 90.0 mark–the third-best in the NFL as a whole. Davis is a walking big-play threat waiting to happen if Green Bay doesn’t give him the attention he deserves.
