The Facts:
Like Steve McNair, the Titans are pledging to bring Young along slowly, meaning his snaps this year could be few as he watches and learns at the feet of Billy Volek. Fisher promised that while Volek will get the nod in '06, Young could still contribute in certain packages as a rookie. "We're going to have him ready to play. I can't say if he's the number two or three right now, but you're going to assume that he's going to be very close to two, which means he's a play away from playing," Fisher said.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Recent reports have indicated the coaching staff will consider using some option plays in red-zone situations -- plays the athletic Young might be well-suited to handling when used on a limited basis. Still, the starting job is Volek until further notice.
