Should I Start Tony Pollard?

Across 17 games in 2025, Tennessee Titans running back Tony Pollard recorded 1,288 scrimmage yards and five touchdowns on 275 touches. The 29-year-old has quietly been one of the more consistent rushers in the NFL in recent years, logging four consecutive seasons with at least 16 games played and 1,000 rushing yards. However, the questionable offensive environment around Pollard in Tennessee has limited his upside, particularly in terms of scoring touchdowns. Across 33 career games with the Titans, Pollard has found pay dirt just 10 times. Entering 2026, Pollard once again projects to lead a backfield split with fellow Titans back Tyjae Spears. Spears has handled the majority of the team's receiving work when both backs are healthy, which is another constraint on Pollard's production ceiling. Still, Pollard has a projectable production floor, and the Titans' offense could be on its way up in quarterback Cameron Ward's second NFL season. In dynasty formats, Pollard has value as a high-floor, win-now flex option.
