Tony Pollard Reportedly Available for Trade

Monday, October 27, 2:15 PM

The Tennessee Titans have reportedly made running back Tony Pollard available in trade discussions after having already dealt away cornerbacks Jason Brownlee and Roger McCreary. The 28-year-old back has been workmanlike in his efforts this year, averaging just under four yards per carry on an offense that's had to fight for every inch. Pollard's contract runs through the 2026 season, but his dead cap for next year is only $2 million, and with him and 24-year-old Tyjae Spears seeing a near 50/50 split in recent weeks, he is clearly not a part of the Titans' long-term plans. With the NFL trade deadline just over a week away, some teams that have reportedly been in the running back market are the Kansas City Chiefs, Los Angeles Chargers, and New England Patriots.

De'Von Achane Still a Top-Five Running Back

Friday, October 24, 7:35 PM

Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane remains one of the few players from his team who can be relied on for fantasy football purposes. This week, he and the Dolphins are visiting the Falcons after taking a 31-6 beating last week in Cleveland. Achane still had a decent game in the loss, producing 82 rushing yards on 13 carries and adding three catches for 16 receiving yards. He didn't get into the end zone, but he still has six total touchdowns in his seven games this season. He'll look to get back into the end zone against the Falcons, who rank in the middle of the pack against running backs. They did give up two touchdowns to Christian McCaffrey last week, and Achane is very involved as both a rusher and receiver, giving him a high ceiling as this week's No. 5 RB in RotoBaller's rankings.
