Jimmy Garoppolo Open to Playing in the Right Situation

Wednesday, July 22, 4:22 PM

Free-agent quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo considered retirement this spring, but he is still open to playing in 2026 in "the right situation," according to Mike Garafolo of the NFL Network. With that said, Garafolo added that nothing is imminent in terms of Garoppolo signing with a team, and it might take an injury to a current QB on a roster for an NFL team to reach out to him before the start of the regular season this fall. The 34-year-old former second-rounder by the New England Patriots in 2014 out of Eastern Illinois was the insurance policy for veteran Matthew Stafford with the Los Angeles Rams the last two seasons, but he played in only four games (one start) and attempted just 41 passes in that time. The Rams have now moved on after surprising everyone by drafting Ty Simpson in the first round back in April. Jimmy G has 12 years of NFL experience under his belt, but if he does sign with a team for 2026, it will most likely be as a mentor and experienced backup rather than a guaranteed starter.

Tony Pollard's Volume Keeps Him in RB2 Conversation

Friday, November 13, 3:30 PM

Tennessee Titans running back Tony Pollard went into the Week 9 bye after two monster performances of 28-plus fantasy points, rushing 46 times for 256 yards and five touchdowns over the past two weeks. He has also established himself as the clear engine of Tennessee's offense of late, averaging more than 21 carries per game over his past three outings. Pollard appeared on the injury report this week with a finger issue, but he practiced fully on Wednesday and Friday and carries no injury designation into Sunday. The matchup is a much bigger concern. Jacksonville has surrendered just 714 rushing yards through eight games, fifth-fewest in the league, while allowing only 3.7 yards per carry and five rushing touchdowns. Opposing running backs are averaging just 15.9 PPR points per game as an entire position group against the Jaguars, second-fewest in the NFL. Tennessee will also be without starting guard Peter Skoronski, which doesn't help an already inconsistent run-blocking unit. Pollard's workload and goal-line role keep him in the RB2 conversation, but fantasy managers should temper expectations after his Week 8 and 9 explosions.
