Tony Pollard News
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.

James Cook News
Wednesday, March 18, 3:05 PM
The Buffalo Bills are in win-now mode, and running back James Cook is one of their primary weapons on offense behind Pro Bowl quarterback Josh Allen. Cook made his third straight Pro Bowl in 2025 in his fourth year in the NFL and had a career year, leading the league in rushing yardage (1,621) with 12 rushing touchdowns on a career-high 309 carries in 17 regular-season starts. The 26-year-old led the NFL with 16 rushing touchdowns in 2024 and doesn't appear to be slowing down anytime soon. The former second-round pick in 2022 out of Georgia finished as the RB5 in half-PPR scoring in 2025, behind only Christian McCaffrey, Jonathan Taylor, Bijan Robinson, and Jahmyr Gibbs. In addition to his big numbers on the ground, Cook added 33 receptions for 291 yards and another two touchdowns through the air. Cook will go into the 2026 campaign as the clear workhorse for a Bills' offense that led the league with 159.6 rushing yards per game last year. He'll give fantasy managers a strong floor as a high-end RB1 this fall.
