Past Fantasy Outlooks
2016
2015
2014
2013
Gooden is not a lock to make the Lions’ final roster. However, should he manage to secure a roster spot in advance of the regular season, he’d fill a depth role at outside linebacker, leaving him well off the fantasy radar.
Gooden should have a prominent role on Tennessee's coverage team on special teams and will occasionally see the field at linebacker.
The 2013 third-rounder is slated to battle for inside linebacker slotting in training camp.
The former Missouri Tiger, who sits third on the Titans depth chart at linebacker, could make an impact if he sees the field on a consistent basis as he's extremely fast and athletic. His draft stock fell due to a somewhat disappointing senior year, and the Titans may have gotten a steal if he plays up to his potential.
