Who Should I Start? Damien Williams or Tony Pollard

Wednesday, April 1, 9:21 PM

Tennessee Titans running back Tony Pollard has held onto the No. 1 role throughout the first few weeks of free agency. The only notable running back signing the Titans have made so far is Michael Carter, who projects as the third-string back behind Pollard and Tyjae Spears. Both Spears and Carter should log some touches, but we expect Pollard to remain in the lead-back role heading into the final portion of his three-year, $21 million contract. The 28-year-old managed to finish as the overall RB23 in PPR leagues last season, largely thanks to a strong second half. From Week 14-18, he was the overall RB11, scoring three touchdowns and delivering three 100-yard performances during that span. Pollard has accumulated 1,000+ rushing yards in each of the last four seasons, and we wouldn't be surprised to see him hit that mark again in 2026, as long as the Titans don't select his replacement in this month's NFL Draft. The veteran ball-carrier is a hold in most dynasty leagues, since his fantasy outlook post-2026 remains murky.
