Taken with the 8th overall selection in the 2011 draft, Locker spent most of his rookie year learning behind Matt Hasselbeck. He showed some playmaking ability in the three games that he received meaningful playing time, especially on the ground, running for 56 yards and a touchdown on just eight carries. As a passer, Locker’s accuracy is his biggest issue as he completed just 34 of 66 attempts although he did avoid throwing any interceptions. In 2012, Locker will be given an opportunity to unseat Hasselbeck to earn the starting position. While it seems likely that the team will open the season with Hasselbeck under center, Locker figures to get playing time given Hasselbeck’s injury history and declining play as the 2011 progressed. Unless he wins the job in camp, Locker should be avoided in redraft leagues but he is a decent prospect in dynasty leagues.
Comment: Locker has won the starting QB job in Tennessee.

Titans agree with QB Fitzpatrick -- Mon Mar 18 9:30 pm --
Tennessee gets younger at the backup QB position | The Titans moved quickly to secure Hasselbeck's replacement, agreeing to terms with former Bills quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick on a two-year contract. (The Tennessean)
FF Today's Take: As we mentioned earlier, Fitzpatrick (30) was a logical replacement for the departed Matt Hasselbeck (37) and will give a veteran presence behind Jake Locker. Fitzpatrick threw 24 TDs and 16 INTs for Buffalo last season and finished as the 17th ranked fantasy QB.
|  | Titans release veteran QB Hasselbeck -- Mon Mar 18 4:30 pm --
Couldn't agree on restructured contract | BREAKING: The Titans have informed veteran QB Matt Hasselbeck he’s being released, according to sources. (Jim Wyatt via Twitter)
FF Today's Take: Hasselbeck was due $5.5 million in 2013 and the two sides couldn't agree on a restructured contract. Tennessee will be in the market for a backup QB behind Jake Locker. Ryan Fitzpatrick is a likely choice.
