Tony Pollard News
Friday, September 25, 8:21 AM
Tennessee Titans running back Tony Pollard (ankle) will be a full participant in the team's practice on Friday, according to Turron Davenport of ESPN. Pollard did not practice on Wednesday due to ankle soreness, but he was limited on Thursday. Now that he is a full-go on Friday, he should be ready to suit up this Sunday for the team's Week 3 tilt against the New York Giants on the road. Pollard could have an even bigger role in Tennessee's backfield as the Titans seek their first victory of the season, with backfield mate Tyjae Spears also nursing an ankle injury. The difference is that Spears missed practice on Wednesday and Thursday before returning to a limited session on Friday. The 29-year-old Pollard has been decent on the ground through two games this year, averaging 4.7 yards per carry on his 21 rushing attempts for 99 yards, but he has not found the end zone yet and has only two receptions for zero yards as a receiver. If Spears is unable to play this weekend, Pollard will be more attractive as a potential RB2 for the week in fantasy.

James Cook III News
Friday, September 18, 5:48 AM
Buffalo Bills running back James Cook III put up a huge game in his team's 41-31 Week 2 win over the Detroit Lions, recording 21 carries for 135 yards and a touchdown. It was a nice bounce-back performance for the 26-year-old, who was held to 69 yards from scrimmage on 16 touches by the Houston Texans in Buffalo's season-opener. Cook III's fantasy production is impacted by the presence of Bills quarterback Josh Allen, who had two rushing touchdowns against Detroit and continues to be Buffalo's preferred option in short-yardage situations. Still, Cook III was the only Bills running back to receive a carry in Week 2, even in a game that his team largely controlled for 60 minutes. Buffalo's offense also looks like one of the best units in football so far, which should give Cook III plenty of chances to score touchdowns. Entering the Bills' Week 3 matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers, Cook III remains a clear fantasy RB1.
