Tony Pollard News
Wednesday, April 1, 9:21 PM
Tennessee Titans running back Tony Pollard has held onto the No. 1 role throughout the first few weeks of free agency. The only notable running back signing the Titans have made so far is Michael Carter, who projects as the third-string back behind Pollard and Tyjae Spears. Both Spears and Carter should log some touches, but we expect Pollard to remain in the lead-back role heading into the final portion of his three-year, $21 million contract. The 28-year-old managed to finish as the overall RB23 in PPR leagues last season, largely thanks to a strong second half. From Week 14-18, he was the overall RB11, scoring three touchdowns and delivering three 100-yard performances during that span. Pollard has accumulated 1,000+ rushing yards in each of the last four seasons, and we wouldn't be surprised to see him hit that mark again in 2026, as long as the Titans don't select his replacement in this month's NFL Draft. The veteran ball-carrier is a hold in most dynasty leagues, since his fantasy outlook post-2026 remains murky.

De'Von Achane News
Tuesday, April 7, 10:07 AM
Miami Dolphins head coach Jeff Hafley said that running back De'Von Achane did not report to the first day of voluntary offseason workouts on Tuesday, according to Ari Meirov of The 33rd Team. "It's part of the business," Hafley said. Achane signed a four-year, $5.44 million contract with the team in May of 2023 after he was drafted in the third round that year out of Texas A&M. The 24-year-old was one of the few bright spots for the Dolphins on offense in 2025, and he finished as the RB6 in half-PPR scoring with 1,350 rushing yards and eight rushing touchdowns in 16 games while adding 67 receptions for 488 yards and four touchdowns as a receiver. Achane is an explosive dual-threat back who has had at least six rushing TDs in each of his first three years in the league. The Dolphins have been adamant that he's part of their future and won't be traded. Achane has a high floor as an RB1 in fantasy, but his value will be volume-based in an offense that will likely struggle for efficiency with both receivers Tyreek Hill (knee) and Jaylen Waddle gone.
