In our latest installment of Tennessee Titans 2022 opponent rankings, we take a look at the slate of the No. 1 tight ends the team will face in 2022.
With teams like the Kansas City Chiefs, Las Vegas Raiders, Philadelphia Eagles, Dallas Cowboys and Buffalo Bills on their schedule, the Titans will face some of league’s best tight ends in 2022.
Unfortunately for Tennessee, their No. 1 option to match up with tight ends in 2021, defensive back Dane Cruikshank, is no longer with the team after signing with the Chicago Bears in free agency this offseason.
Filling Cruikshank’s role will be especially important because of the slate of tight ends Tennessee will face. As of right now it’s unclear who will step into those fairly big shoes.
Putting that aside for now, let’s take a look at the 14 tight ends on the Titans’ 2022 schedule who are expected to be at the top of their team’s depth chart, and we’ll rank them from best to worst.

In 2021, Hurst missed four games due to injury and tallied less than half the yards he had in what was a career year in 2020. As far as pass-catching goes, Hurst is a downgrade from C.J. Uzomah, who signed with the New York Jets.
10. Robert Tonyan, Green Bay Packers
