Free-agent defensive lineman Denico Autry is expected to sign a two-year, $10 million deal with the Houston Texans. This comes after he enjoyed a career year with the Tennessee Titans in 2023, setting career-highs in tackles (50), sacks (11.5), forced fumbles (two), and run-stuffs (7.5). The 33-year-old has enjoyed a ton of success later in his career, so he still has plenty of ability to help boost the Houston front seven. Houston just lost standout edge rusher Jonathan Greenard to the ...

The Tennessee Titans fantasy defense/special teams has a boom-or-bust Week 18 outlook against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Tennessee will get back defensive lineman Jeffery Simmons (ankle) and outside linebacker Denico Autry (bicep), but its secondary is still banged up and has been horrendous this season. If the Jaguars offense led by quarterback Trevor Lawrence is firing on all cylinders, this game could get ugly and out of hand quickly. That said, there are likely better options for fantasy than...

The Tennessee Titans defense will be without Jeffery Simmons (ankle), Bud Dupree (pectoral), Zach Cunningham (elbow) and Amani Hooker (ankle) against the Dallas Cowboys, as all have officially been ruled out. Additionally, Denico Autry (biceps) and Kristian Fulton (groin) are listed as questionable. Since this game has no effect on Tennessee's playoff chances or seeding, there's a good chance both of those key defensive starters won't play, either. Ultimately, that's all that needs to be said ...

Tennessee Titans defensive lineman Denico Autry (knee) suffered a knee injury in the Thursday night game against the Green Bay Packers and is questionable to return in the second half. Autry is one of the team's better defensive lineman, so we'll have to see if this injury will keep him out beyond Thursday's game. The 32-year-old entered Week 11 action with seven sacks, 20 tackles (12 solo), six tackles for loss, 15 QB hits and a forced fumble in nine games played. Before leaving Thursday's ...

The Tennessee Titans defense opens up the season with a favorable matchup against Daniel Jones and the New York Giants. Last season, the Giants gave up the third-most fantasy points to D/STs, and led the league with 30 giveaways. Daniel Jones has 49 career turnovers in just 38 games, so Kevin Byard and company will have chances to score fantasy points. Titans pass-rusher Harold Landry is out for the season with a torn ACL, but Jeffrey Simmons and Denico Autry should get pressure against a shaky ...

The Tennessee Titans placed defensive lineman Denico Autry on the reserve/COVID-19 list Tuesday. He will be ineligible to return for Sunday's game against the Miami Dolphins until he clears protocols. The 31-year-old has racked up 25 tackles and eight sacks over 15 games in 2021. Tennessee's defense has been stout against the run and ranks second against opposing fantasy backs this year. Autry's potential absence downgrades the Titans defense a little, but it should open a few more lanes for the...

The Tennessee Titans signed former Indianapolis Colts defensive tackle Denico Autry to a three-year deal worth $21.5 million on Monday. Autry will receive $9 million guaranteed and $14.25 million over two years. Never a flashy player in his time with the Colts, he generated 20 sacks, including a team-high nine in 2018, in his three seasons in Indy. Autry missed two games while dealing with COVID-19 last season, but his 7.5 sacks were third on the team behind DeForest Buckner (9.5) and Justin ...

The Indianapolis Colts activated defensive lineman Denico Autry from the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Thursday. Autry, who leads the team with six sacks this year, has missed the last two games. Without him against the Titans in Week 12, Indy's defense allowed 449 yards, including 229 rushing yards. Defensive lineman DeForest Buckner is the only Colts player still on the COVID-19 list, but he could be activated on Saturday if he has no symptoms and continues to test negative. Along with his six ...

The Indianapolis Colts defense held the Jacksonville Jaguars to six points in a loss on Sunday, with three sacks, two forced fumbles, and seven tackles for loss. Those who streamed the Colts defense should be extremely thankful for defensive tackle Denico Autry, who was responsible for all three sacks, both forced fumbles, and three tackles for loss on his own. The Colts defense was fully capable of capitalizing on a Cody Kessler-led Jaguars offense that didn't have running back Leonard Fournett[...]
