Can Tony Pollard Keep the RB1 Spot for Titans?

Saturday, March 14, 9:40 AM

Titans running back Tony Pollard has quietly strung together four-straight 1,200+ yard campaigns, while scoring no fewer than five touchdowns, and while Tennessee was one of the most aggressive spenders in the early waves of free agency, the backfield remains relatively unchanged from 2025. Pollard's role heading into 2026 again looks to carry underrated fantasy relevance, but there is no escaping the growing rumors tying Tennessee to Notre Dame prospect Jeremiyah Love with the 4th overall pick in the NFL Draft. With new offensive coordinator Brian Daboll's history of elevating quarterback play and increasing scoring opportunities, whoever lands the starting running back job for the Titans should find themselves in a suddenly attractive situation. Unfortunately for Pollard, the drafting of Love would all but signal the end of his week-to-week fantasy relevance.

Falcons to Sign Brian Robinson Jr.

Tuesday, March 24, 10:23 AM

The Atlanta Falcons are expected to sign former San Francisco 49ers running back Brian Robinson Jr. to an undisclosed deal, sources told Jordan Schultz of FOX Sports. Robinson has over 2,700 rushing yards, 612 receiving yards, and 22 total touchdowns in his four NFL seasons with the 49ers and Washington Commanders. The 27-year-old former third-round pick by Washington in 2022 out of Alabama had a career-low 92 rushing attempts for 400 yards and two touchdowns in 17 regular-season games in 2025 as the primary backup behind workhorse Christian McCaffrey. In his three years with the Commanders, Robinson had over 700 rushing yards each season and also totaled 15 rushing touchdowns while averaging 4.1 yards per carry. He will effectively replace Tyler Allgeier as the No. 2 in Atlanta behind Bijan Robinson, although fantasy managers shouldn't expect him to be quite as productive as Allgeier was in a No. 2 role. The Falcons are expected to give Bijan the lion's share of the backfield touches in 2026.
