Tony Pollard News
Thursday, October 8, 4:25 PM
Tennessee Titans running back Tony Pollard (foot) was a full participant in practice on Thursday after he was held out of practice on Wednesday, according to Jim Wyatt of the team's official website. Pollard has been battling through a minor foot injury in recent weeks, but he has not missed any games and should be good to go for Sunday's divisional tilt against the winless Houston Texans. The 29-year-old has a lower ceiling because of Tennessee's weak offense and the presence of pass-catching back Tyjae Spears. However, fantasy managers cannot really complain that Pollard has seen at least 14 rushing attempts in each of the last three games after carrying the ball just seven times for 35 yards in the Week 1 loss to the New York Jets. Pollard had 16 attempts for 48 yards and his first touchdown of 2026 in Sunday's loss to the Baltimore Ravens, adding two catches for two yards as a receiver. He should be viewed as more of a touchdown-dependent RB3/flex as the Titans look for their first win of the season.

D'Andre Swift News
Friday, October 9, 9:44 PM
Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift is poised to handle more work in this Sunday's game against the Green Bay Packers, as teammate Kyle Monangai (thumb/toe) has been ruled out. Swift also missed some practice this week, bothered by a lingering knee injury and a new hip ailment. However, he carries no designation into the contest and is expected to get as much work as he can handle. The Pennsylvania native likely won't see everything, as fantasy managers can expect backfield mate Roschon Johnson to rotate behind him in some fashion. Still, Swift gets a bump in his outlook this week, with a leaky Packers rush defense lined up against him. Green Bay is giving up the fifth-most rushing yards per game (139.3) and the second-highest average fantasy points to running backs (24.8). Swift remains a high-end RB2 for Week 5 and, officially, RotoBaller's PPR RB14.
