21. Indianapolis Colts (26)

That loss to the Texans is looking worse and worse this week. Had Indy held on, they’d be in first place in their division. That said, the Texans are a train wreck waiting to happen, and the Jags should be looking for a new coach as we speak. This leaves the Titans as the biggest threat to the Colts to win the division, a team that they just beat.

22. Miami Dolphins (29)

Think Jay Ajayi was a fluke? Think again. Back to back 200 yard rushing games have made him a must-start in fantasy leagues. What’s gone unnoticed is two big wins against good teams. The Dolphins are moving in the right direction—something that will keep Adam Gase safe for awhile.

23. Tennessee Titans (19)

The Titans are putting themselves in a great position to dominate this division for years to come—just not this year. Could they pull out a division title? Maybe—the South is a terrible division, but it’s not likely. However even in losing they are winning. They have a young QB, a young LT, a young RB and veteran running back, and a bevy of picks coming to them for the number one pick. Not to mention they should be drafting high themselves, if they can put together a good draft this offseason, next year the South will be the Titans to lose.

24. Jacksonville Jaguars (18)

The Jags certainly own the title for “Most Disappointing Team of 2016.” Gus Bradley finally had his talented squad, and was supposed to show why he deserved to be the head coach. The Jaguars have a lot of talent on both sides of the ball—the product on the field is a joke and Gus Bradley should be searching for a new job right now.
