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.

J.K. Dobbins News
Tuesday, March 31, 8:27 PM
Denver Broncos general manager George Paton described running back J.K. Dobbins (left foot) as fully healthy, according to Chris Tomasson of The Denver Gazette. Paton added that Dobbins, who was placed on injured reserve after Week 10, could have returned for the Super Bowl, if Denver had qualified. He also explained that the veteran running back's positive presence in the locker room is a main reason why the team prioritized re-signing him this offseason. Dobbins was limited to 10 games last year, but he was productive when healthy. He finished the season with 772 rushing yards, 37 receiving yards, and four touchdowns. Moving forward, Dobbins no longer has fringe top-24 appeal at the running back position in fantasy football. His fall down the rankings can be attributed to RJ Harvey, the rookie who took over as Denver's lead running back after Dobbins went down. As the Broncos look to stay young and fresh on offense, we expect to see Harvey lead the backfield going forward. We still expect Dobbins to have a role, especially on short-yardage and goal-line work, but he's more of a boom-or-bust RB3/flex now. Managers should also take note of his injury history, as he has missed 53 games over the last five years.
