Both the Lions and Bengals are readily available in fantasy leagues, but if you're looking for a deeper streaming option in Week 1, the Tennessee Titans are worth a look. The Titans travel to Miami to take on the Dolphins and are currently listed as a 1.0-point favorite.

Like the two other teams on this list, the Titans have a new defensive coordinator in Dean Pees, so the defense will look a little different than it did last year, when it ranked in the top-five in sacks (43). But the Titans will be facing a Miami offensive line expected to be below average in 2018.

That might not bode well for Ryan Tannehill, who will be returning to regular-season action after missing all of last season with an ACL injury. Tannehill last played a regular season game in December 2016 and has been relatively impressive throughout the preseason, but Miami's pass-catching core presents a lot of question marks. Jarvis Landry is now in Cleveland and DeVante Parker is battling yet another injury, this time a broken finger. It would appear that Kenny Stills could be in for a big workload, but Danny Amendola has been a popular target of Tannehill's in the preseason and caught Tannehill's lone touchdown pass of the preseason.

Against a subpar offensive line and a quarterback coming back from a long layoff with questionable weapons in the passing game, the Titans' defense is another decent streaming option.
