Net Expected Points (NEP) total of 0.57, which means he added less than one point to his team’s final score with each carry. He carried a Success Rate of 40.00%, meaning only six of his carries were deemed “positive plays”. In comparison to Sankey, who posted a -0.52 Rushing NEP and 50.00% Success Rate on six carries, Greene was only slightly more effective.

This continued into Week 2, when Tennessee was dominated by the Dallas Cowboys and Greene again posted a positive NEP score on only five carries. The Titans running backs only received nine carries, with Sankey again posting a negative Rushing NEP score with no successful carries. At this point, it was starting to look like the coaching staff wasn't prepared to allow Sankey to quoted as saying Sankey would not only receive more work in Week 5’s matchup with Cleveland, but that work would come earlier in the game. With upcoming matchups against teams in the bottom third in Defensive NEP, Sankey has the opportunity to seize hold of the top job in Tennessee. Those who drafted and held onto Sankey through the injury riddled first quarter of the fantasy season are going to be rewarded for their patience with a healthy running back who is presumably the lead back for a solid running team.
