LenDale has company

The Titans and Bucs wrapped up their minicamp season this week, leaving only the Broncos with any on-field work left before training camp. Here's what I took from Tennessee's session.

The Titans will open training camp not knowing their starters at running back, wide receiver and tight end. Let's look quickly at where each position stands.

1. Running Back - LenDale White, Chris Brown, Chris Henry, and Quinton Ganther

I still think White is the favorite to start, but it's clear Brown will have every opportunity to enjoy a major role. My guess is that Brown starts the season behind the best young player, probably White. As our new writer Brian Flood wrote, the backup in Tennessee is probably the best fantasy bet because he'll be cheap.

2. Wide Receiver - Brandon Jones, Courtney Roby, Roydell Williams, Paul Williams, Justin Gage, David Givens

Givens could start the year on the PUP list and possibly may miss the season. Jones has a starting job locked up, but reportedly hasn't had a great summer. He's still a fine prospect and a nice sleeper pick. We have no idea how the rest of this group will shake out and we're not sure it will matter for most fantasy leaguers. The coaching staff doesn't seem to know yet if anyone here will step up.

3. Tight End - Bo Scaife, Ben Hartsock, Ben Troupe - It looks like Hartsock will improbably start for the Titans because of his blocking skills. He still has no fantasy value. That leaves Scaife and Troupe to battle for the "pass-catching" tight end job in the offense. There is some potential for the winner of that battle for be a quality TE2.

All of this uncertainty is rough news for the development of Vince Young this season.
