Tennessee Titans running back Tony Pollard is in the middle of a strong stretch of play. Pollard has rushed for over 100 yards in three straight games. During that span, Pollard has totaled 367 yards with three touchdowns. He'll look to keep the good times rolling against the New Orleans Saints in Week 17. A defense that has allowed the seventh-most rushing yards to running backs this season. The only downside is that Pollard is expected to continue splitting the carries with Tyjae Spears. Given Pollard's success, he figures to continue getting plenty of chances. Fantasy managers should consider Pollard a low-end RB2 for this favorable Week 17 matchup.

Tennessee Titans running back Tony Pollard has been on a heater the last three games, scoring three touchdowns, rushing for 367 yards (6.12 YPC), and averaging 18.6 fantasy points per game during this stretch. It's by far the best stretch of the season for him, as in the previous 13 weeks, he had only rushed for 582 yards (3.88 YPC) and two touchdowns. Because of the recent surge in production, Pollard has worked his way up the running back ranks to become more of a lower-end RB2 compared to the RB3 rankings, where he has been a majority of the season, considering he is playing about 50 percent of the team's snaps, and splitting work with Tyjae Spears. The young Titans offense as a whole has looked much better the last few weeks, so it should not come as a surprise that Pollard's production has been better of late as well. Week 17 presents a mediocre matchup, as the Saints rank 17th overall in fantasy points allowed to the running back position, keeping Pollard in the low-end RB2 ranks. RotoBaller ranks him as the RB22 for the week.

Tennessee Titans running back Tony Pollard could be trending towards a timeshare during their week 17 contest against the Saints. According to OC Nick Holtz, the split workload between Tyjae Spears and Pollard was "how he envisioned" their usage given their respective skill sets. In their victory over the Chiefs, Pollard took the bulk of the carries on the ground, logging 21 compared to Spears' 13. However, in the passing game, Spears took the load as he was targeted five times and brought in all five for 53 yards, while Pollard was not targeted once. While Pollard's upside as a pass catcher may continue to be limited, he is finding his footing on the ground, averaging a strong 122.3 rushing yards per game over his last three contests. During these three games, Pollard has only drawn two total targets in the receiving game. Pollard should still be viewed as a high-floor RB2 in all formats heading into a Week 17 tilt against the Saints. Spears has entered FLEX territory for those in deeper PPR formats.

Tennessee Titans running back Tony Pollard handled 21 carries for 102 yards in Sunday's 26-9 win over the Kansas City Chiefs. Pollard continues his strong stretch of production and has now rushed for at least 100 yards in three consecutive games for the first time in his career. It still resulted in a relatively empty fantasy line as the 28-year-old didn't find the end zone, and he didn't catch a pass for just the third time this season. Tyjae Spears also saw more usage than usual, recording a season high 18 touches for 105 total yards and a rushing touchdown. Pollard has been one of the best runners in the league recently and will look to keep rolling in next week's matchup against the New Orleans Saints.
Dec 21, 2025 7:33 PM EST
Tennessee Titans running back Tony Pollard has posted back-to-back games with over 100 rushing yards and a touchdown. Pollard's previous season high for rushing yards was 92 back in Week 2, and he scored only twice in the first 13 weeks before erupting over the past two games. The 28-year-old ranks as the RB3 in PPR points in the past two weeks after a mediocre first 12 games, where he ranked as the RB29. The former Dallas Cowboys running back has maintained a steady workload with double-digit touches in every game and at least 15 in three of the past four games. However, Pollard has a tough matchup on Sunday against a Kansas City Chiefs defense that has allowed the fourth fewest PPR points per game to running backs. He ranks as RotoBaller's RB29 in PPR leagues and is more of a FLEX option in Week 16.
Dec 20, 2025 1:54 PM EST
Tennessee Titans running back Tony Pollard has caught fire of late, running wild for 265 rushing yards and three touchdowns over the past two weeks, which has earned him back-to-back top 10 running back performances. After landing on most analysts' "sit" list for most of the season due to his lack of effectiveness and how bad the Titans' offense has been, Pollard is showing some life in the fantasy playoffs and should be back on the fantasy radar in Week 16. Unfortunately for Pollard and the Titans, they have a tough matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs, who allow the seventh fewest points to the running back position. That being said, Pollard should continue to see the volume he's seen over the past two weeks and project to see 10-15 carries, which keeps him in the RB3 conversations in Week 16. Backfield mate, Tyjae Spears, has been involved, playing about 50 percent of the snaps, but is not nearly seeing the amount of running back carries as Pollard has been getting, as most of Spears' production has been as a pass-catcher.
Dec 17, 2025 9:35 AM EST
Tennessee Titans running back Tony Pollard had been an underwhelming fantasy contributor ever since Tyjae Spears returned from injured reserve, but that all changed last week as Pollard exploded for 161 rushing yards and two touchdowns in the Titans' Week 14 win over the Cleveland Browns. The 28-year-old will look to carry the momentum from last weekend into this Sunday's Week 15 contest against the San Francisco 49ers. Tennessee seems to be riding the hot hand at running back, so Pollard will likely get the first crack at handling the every-down role this week. If he starts strong, he could have a shot at replicating last week's huge game. If Pollard can excel against a strong Browns run defense, he's capable of finding similar success against the Niners, who rank near the middle of the league in terms of fantasy points allowed to opposing running backs this year. With that being said, we can't guarantee that Pollard will explode just because of one big, unexpected performance. There's still some risk here, making Pollard a low-floor, high-ceiling option for Week 15. He ranks as the overall RB34 in this week's RotoBaller fantasy rankings and can be deployed as a flex in most formats.
Dec 13, 2025 10:33 AM EST
Tennessee Titans running back Tony Pollard has seen his fantasy value rise after piling up 161 yards and two touchdowns against a good Cleveland Browns defense in Week 14. Managers likely haven't been in a rush to add shares from a Titans offense that has struggled for most of the year, but Pollard is the No. 25 overall PPR running back and finished second at his position last week, making him an intriguing, if risky, option for the fantasy playoffs. The Titans take on a San Francisco 49ers defense that ranks 17th against fantasy running backs in Week 15, giving Pollard a decent but not outstanding matchup. He has 27 catches on the season and has maintained some RB3/flex value, but he could bring added value if Tennessee's offense turns a corner during the final month of the season.
Dec 11, 2025 9:44 AM EST
Tennessee Titans running back had 25 carries, 161 rushing yards, and two rushing touchdowns during Sunday's Week 14 win over the Cleveland Browns. His touchdowns came on long runs from 32 and 65 yards out, respectively. Pollard's big performance seemed to come out of nowhere. Over the last three weeks, he struggled to amass more than a dozen touches per game, averaged fewer than 4.5 yards per carry, didn't score a touchdown, and essentially split snaps 50/50 with Tyjae Spears. However, that entire dynamic changed this Sunday as Pollard shattered his previous season-high rushing attempt total (20) and posted his best fantasy performance of the season. Pollard played well early in the game, so it seems like Tennessee simply rode the hot hand and kept him in the game as long as he continued to play well. That same trend should continue in Week 15 against the San Francisco 49ers, and Pollard has the early advantage over Spears given his excellent showing this Sunday. He's back into the RB2 tier for Week 15.
Dec 7, 2025 6:09 PM EST
Across 12 games this season, Tennessee Titans running back Tony Pollard has recorded 753 scrimmage yards and two touchdowns on 177 touches. The 28-year-old has earned double-digit touches in every contest, but has not seen more than 15 in any game since Week 5. Since Tennessee's Week 10 bye, Pollard has played 95 offensive snaps while fellow Titans back Tyjae Spears has played 92. Given the nearly dead-even playing time split and the overall struggles of the Tennessee offense, Pollard's production upside has a firm ceiling. Additionally, the Titans have a tough matchup in Week 14 against the Cleveland Browns. Entering the week, Cleveland ranks second among all NFL defenses in yards per carry allowed (3.7). Pollard profiles as a deep-league flex option at best for fantasy managers in Week 14.
Dec 6, 2025 2:31 PM EST
Across 11 games this season, Tennessee Titans running back Tony Pollard has recorded 690 scrimmage yards and two touchdowns on 166 touches. The 28-year-old's 4.2 yards-per-touch average is the lowest of his seven-year NFL career. Pollard has been particularly inefficient over his last two games, recording just 67 scrimmage yards on 28 touches. Making matters worse for fantasy managers, Pollard is stuck in a nearly dead-even playing time split with fellow Titans running back Tyjae Spears. In Week 13, Pollard will face the stingy Jacksonville Jaguars run defense. Entering the week, the Jaguars' defense ranks seventh in the NFL in yards per carry allowed (3.9) and has allowed just seven rushing touchdowns on the season. Pollard appears unlikely to see a high volume of touches, nor be particularly efficient with the work he receives against Jacksonville. He profiles as a low-end RB3/flex option for fantasy managers in Week 13.
Nov 29, 2025 2:53 PM EST
Tennessee Titans running back Tony Pollard remains the primary ball-carrier on his team, but he's still tough to trust heading into Week 12 against the Seattle Seahawks. He's averaging just 3.7 yards per carry over his last five games and faces off against a Seattle run defense allowing the third-fewest rushing yards to opposing running backs in 2025. To make matters worse, Pollard has started to see his workload decline with Tyjae Spears back in action, tallying 11 or fewer carries in each of his last five contests. If Pollard came into this tough matchup with greater efficiency or a larger workload, managers could still feel comfortable deploying him in lineups. However, his volume, efficiency, and matchup are all major red flags, relegating him to the bench in most fantasy leagues. He ranks as the overall RB37 in RotoBaller's latest fantasy rankings.
Nov 22, 2025 12:02 PM EST
Tennessee Titans running back Tony Pollard had 10 carries for 22 yards in Sunday's 16-13 loss to the Houston Texans in Week 11. Pollard also had three catches for four yards on three targets. The 28-year-old veteran scored a season low of 5.6 fantasy points and was out-snapped for the third time this season by backfield mate Tyjae Spears. Since Week 6, Pollard has only been able to eclipse over eight fantasy points once. The former explosive fantasy favorite has become a low-upside, touchdown-dependent flex option for managers. Pollard was been unable to find paydirt for a fifth straight week and has only been able to find the end zone twice this year. Heading into Week 12, Pollard will be a desperation flex option in deeper leagues in a difficult matchup against the Seattle Seahawks.
Nov 17, 2025 10:23 PM EST
Across nine games played in 2025, Tennessee Titans running back Tony Pollard has recorded 623 scrimmage yards and two touchdowns on 138 total touches, an average of 15.3 touches per game. However, Pollard's usage was clearly trending downwards heading into Tennessee's Week 10 bye. After seeing at least 14 carries and 17 total touches in each of the Titans' first five games of the season, Pollard failed to crack 12 total touches in any of his most recent four outings. Tennessee has been steadily evening out the workload between Pollard and third-year back Tyjae Spears. Coming out of the bye week, there seems to be little reason for the 1-8 Titans to feed the veteran Pollard over the up-and-coming Spears. Spears has also been more efficient, averaging over a yard per touch more than Pollard. Heading into a Week 11 matchup against the Houston Texans, Pollard is tough for fantasy managers to trust as anything more than a low-end flex option.
Nov 11, 2025 9:43 PM EST
Running back Tony Pollard is one of the players the Tennessee Titans are "fielding the most calls on" ahead of the NFL's November 4 trade deadline, according to Diana Russini of The Athletic. Pollard has recorded 555 yards from scrimmage and two touchdowns on 127 touches across eight games for the 1-7 Titans so far this season. Tennessee has a younger and cheaper running back option behind Pollard in Tyjae Spears, so it may make sense for the rebuilding Titans to try to maximize Pollard's value. Depending on where he gets moved, a trade could significantly boost Pollard's fantasy value. He's been losing touches to Spears in recent weeks, and the Titans' anemic offense limits the scoring opportunities for both running backs. If Pollard gets traded, Spears would become the unquestioned lead back in Tennessee. Currently, both players profile as high-end flex options heading into their Week 9 matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers.
Nov 1, 2025 12:56 PM EST
Tennessee Titans running back Tony Pollard's (neck) Week 9 status was in question when he missed the team's first practice of the week on Wednesday due to a neck injury. However, he's back on the right track to play this Sunday against the Los Angeles Chargers after he returned to a full practice on Thursday. As long as the 28-year-old doesn't suffer a setback with his neck injury on Friday, he should be fine to play this weekend. The Chargers' defense has been much more susceptible to the run game in recent weeks, but Pollard won't be much more than a low-upside RB3/flex in Week 9 for fantasy purposes with backfield mate Tyjae Spears starting to see more involvement in what is becoming more of a timeshare in Tennessee. Pollard has surpassed double-digit half-PPR points just twice in eight games in 2025 and has only two touchdowns in one of the worst offenses in football.
Oct 30, 2025 5:17 PM EST
Updating a previous report, Tennessee Titans running back Tony Pollard (neck) had his reps limited in Wednesday's practice due to a neck injury. Pollard's status for the Week 9 contest on Sunday against the visiting Los Angeles Chargers is now in question, although the fact that he was on the field on Wednesday is a good sign that his injury isn't too serious. Still, Pollard has been trending down in fantasy in recent weeks after Tyjae Spears returned from an early-season injury. The Titans have every intention of keeping Spears involved out of the backfield, too, which will cap Pollard's fantasy upside the rest of the way. With an injury to boot, the 28-year-old should be considered a low-upside RB3/flex, at best, this weekend if he's active. Not only is Pollard now in a timeshare, but he resides in one of the NFL's least efficient offenses.
Oct 29, 2025 5:35 PM EST
Tennessee Titans running back Tony Pollard was not seen at the portion of practice open to the media on Wednesday, according to Terry McCormick of TitanInsider.com. The Titans never reported an injury for Pollard coming out of Sunday's loss to the Indianapolis Colts, but Pollard did play only 46% of the offensive snaps, his second-lowest mark of the 2025 season. Fantasy managers will want to check back later for an update on why Pollard wasn't on the practice field. Tyjae Spears would have plug-and-play RB2 upside against the Los Angeles Chargers this weekend if Pollard is limited in any way or out completely. Pollard had only two more carries than Spears in Week 8 and finished with 44 rushing yards and nine receiving yards on his lone catch. Even if Pollard is fine heading into the weekend, his role is diminishing as Tennessee looks to get Spears more involved out of the backfield.
Oct 29, 2025 3:38 PM EST
The Tennessee Titans have reportedly made running back Tony Pollard available in trade discussions after having already dealt away cornerbacks Jason Brownlee and Roger McCreary. The 28-year-old back has been workmanlike in his efforts this year, averaging just under four yards per carry on an offense that's had to fight for every inch. Pollard's contract runs through the 2026 season, but his dead cap for next year is only $2 million, and with him and 24-year-old Tyjae Spears seeing a near 50/50 split in recent weeks, he is clearly not a part of the Titans' long-term plans. With the NFL trade deadline just over a week away, some teams that have reportedly been in the running back market are the Kansas City Chiefs, Los Angeles Chargers, and New England Patriots.
Oct 27, 2025 2:15 PM EST
Tennessee Titans running back Tony Pollard has struggled to find much success on the ground over the last few weeks. Last week, Pollard rushed a season-low six times for 18 yards in the loss to the New England Patriots. The 28-year-old was able to salvage his fantasy value by hauling in six receptions for an additional 43 yards through the air. The biggest problem Pollard is going to face now is that he'll split up the carries with Tyjae Spears in the backfield. Pollard has seen his carries decrease every game since Week 5. Luckily, Pollard has been able to find some success in the receiving game. He'll likely be asked to continue being utilized in that role with top wide receiver Calvin Ridley (hamstring) out again in Week 8. Given his recent performances, Pollard shouldn't be viewed as again more than a flex option against the Indianapolis Colts this weekend.
