Role fades in Week 9 Whyle recorded one catch on two targets for 12 yards in Sunday's 20-17 overtime win against the Patriots.
Good to go Whyle (illness) is active for Sunday's game against the Patriots, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Impact Whyle was a late addition to the Titans' injury report Saturday, but it looks like he is feeling well enough to give it a go. He is coming off two of his better games this season the last two weeks, logging five catches on six targets for 67 yards in total.

Late addition to injury report Whyle was added to Tennessee's injury report Saturday due to an illness, and he's now questionable for Sunday's contest against New England, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site...
Impact Whyle's addition to the injury report one day before Sunday's contest puts his chance of suiting up in considerable question, though it's not clear how severe his ailment is. The tight end has had two of his better games this season over the past two weeks, totaling five catches on six targets for 67 yards during that span. Nick Vannett could see more opportunities behind No. 1 tight end Chigoziem Okonkwo on Sunday if Whyle doesn't play, and David Martin-Robinson could suit up after being a healthy scratch in every game so far this season.

Two catches in blowout loss Whyle recorded two receptions on two targets for 33 yards in Sunday's 52-14 loss to the Lions.
Impact Whyle was on the field for 30 offensive snaps, his second-highest mark of the season, and earned multiple targets for the fourth time in seven contests. Chigoziem Okonkwo out-snapped him but made several mistakes, which could eventually lead to more playing time for Whyle. For now, Whyle remains irrelevant in most fantasy formats.

Gets involved agian Whyle recorded three receptions on four targets for 34 yards in Sunday's 34-10 loss to the Bills.
Impact Mason Rudolph got all three of his tight ends involved, and Whyle converted a first down on all three of his receptions. Sunday's performance marked Whyle's third multi-reception performance of the season and he could continue to see a slight uptick in production if Rudolph remains under center in Week 8 against the Lions.

Posts season-high snap rate Whyle recorded one catch on one target for five yards in Monday's 31-12 win over the Dolphins.
Impact Whyle earned a season-high 55 percent snap rate, which was the highest rate of the position group on the team. That didn't lead to much production as the Titans ran a run-heavy game script while holding a lead for the entire game. Whyle could see more receiving opportunity coming out of Tennessee's bye in a Week 6 matchup against the Colts.

Role ticking up Whyle recorded four receptions (on five targets) for 43 yards in Sunday's 30-14 loss to Green Bay.
Impact Whyle was on the field for 47 percent of offensive snaps, a similar role to what he earned Week 2. However, he was more frequently involved as a pass catcher, finishing second on the team in targets and tied for second in receptions. He's likely to continue to split snaps with Chigoziem Okonkwo, but Whyle could be the more productive fantasy option moving forward.

First catches of 2024 Whyle recorded two receptions on two targets for 13 yards in Sunday's 24-17 loss to the Jets.
Impact Whyle saw his offensive snap rate rise from 30 percent in Week 1 to 42 percent Sunday. He was able to pick up his first catches of the season, highlighted by a 12-yard gain late in the first quarter that set up a touchdown two plays later. Whyle could continue to see his snap rate rise as the season progresses, as Chigoziem Okonkwo has failed to make a consistent mark on Tennessee's offense across the last three seasons.

Stuck in limited role Whyle was not targeted in Sunday's 24-17 loss to the Bears.
Impact Whyle got moderate hype during training camp as he attempted to unseat Chigoziem Okonkwo as the top tight end in Tennessee. His usage in Week 1 made clear that didn't occur, as he saw only 18 offensive snaps (28 percent) while Nick Vannett earned 16. Whyle remains primarily a special teams contributor.

Left off injury report Whyle (concussion) wasn't on Tennessee's injury report Wednesday ahead of Sunday's Week 1 contest against the Bears, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Impact Whyle missed the latter part of August with a concussion, but it appears he's cleared protocol just in time for the Titans' Week 1 outing. With Whyle back at full health, he's expected to serve as Tennessee's top backup tight end behind Chigoziem Okonkwo this season.

Returning this week? Head coach Brian Callahan told reporters Monday that he's hoping to get Whyle (concussion) back practicing this week, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Impact The second-year tight end has missed over a week with a concussion, but it appears he's nearing a return to the field after his head coach's comments Monday. Whyle appeared in 11 games in 2023, recording nine catches for 94 yards and one touchdown. He's expected to serve as the Titans' top backup tight end once he clears concussion protocol.

Impact It's not clear when Whyle sustained the concussion, as he did not suit up for the Titans' 16-15 win over the Seahawks on Saturday. Whyle is competing against Nick Vannett and Thomas Odukoya for the backup tight end job behind starter Chigoziem Okonkwo.

Pushing Okonkwo for role Whyle is listed as a co-starter at tight end on the Titans' first unofficial depth chart, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.
Impact Whyle is entering his second year as a pro and is looking to carve out an expanded role after playing only 152 offensive snaps in 2023. His 6-foot-7 frame makes him an intriguing option near the goal line and potentially on third downs. Whyle has also apparently impressed enough on the field to push Chigoziem Okonkwo for his starting role, and this will be a position to monitor for the rest of the preseason.
