Kenyan Drake Announces His Retirement

Friday, July 19, 8:49 PM

Running back Kenyan Drake announced his retirement on Friday. The 2016 No. 73 overall pick played for five teams after entering the NFL, making stops in Miami, Arizona, Las Vegas, Baltimore, and Green Bay. Throughout his career, he established himself as a legit dual-threat back, amassing 3,866 rushing yards and 1,655 receiving yards while totaling 41 touchdowns in 104 regular-season contests. Although Drake wasn't as potent near the end of his time in the National Football League, he still had more than a few productive years for fantasy managers.

Tony Pollard Accounts for All Three Titans Touchdowns in Week 7 Loss

Sunday, October 25, 2:13 PM

Tennessee Titans running back Tony Pollard is a solid RB2 option heading into a Week 8 matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals after accounting for all three of his team's touchdowns in Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Cleveland Browns, rushing for 129 yards and three scores on a season-high 25 carries. Pollard struck on runs of 36 and 10 yards in the first quarter before scoring from one yard out with 58 seconds remaining to tie the game. He nearly added another touchdown in the second quarter, but replay overturned the score, and Cleveland eventually stopped him on fourth-and-goal from the one-yard line. He also caught all three of his targets for 26 yards, finishing with 155 scrimmage yards and 36.5 PPR fantasy points. With Tyjae Spears (knee) inactive, Pollard handled 25 of Tennessee's 28 running back carries, and that workload and goal-line role reinforce his status as the team's primary rushing option.
