Tony Pollard News
Saturday, April 25, 7:32 AM
Tennessee Titans running back Tony Pollard appears to remain atop the depth chart following the first three rounds of the 2026 NFL Draft. The Titans entered the draft with plenty of needs on their roster, and running back ranked near the middle in terms of priority. After they selected a wide receiver fourth overall and didn't draft a running back on Day 2, it appears that the Titans are content with a backfield featuring Pollard and Tyjae Spears next year. Both backs will chip into each other's workloads, but Pollard remains the favorite to carve out a fantasy-relevant role. Now 28, Pollard is coming off a solid season in which he ranked as the overall RB23 with 1,288 scrimmage yards and five touchdowns. From Week 14-18, he was the overall RB11, scoring three touchdowns and delivering three 100-yard performances during that span. He has also accumulated 1,000+ rushing yards and a top-24 running back finish in each of the last four seasons. Heading into his eighth NFL season, Pollard continues to possess fantasy appeal as the Titans' primary ball-carrier in an upward-trending offense.

Kaleb Johnson News
Wednesday, April 22, 7:50 AM
A third-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, Pittsburgh Steelers running back Kaleb Johnson failed to carve out a role in his team's offense as a rookie. Across 10 games played, the 22-year-old recorded just 28 carries for 69 yards. He spent the year buried on the Steelers' running back depth chart behind Jaylen Warren and Kenneth Gainwell. While Gainwell departed Pittsburgh in free agency, the team brought in former Carolina Panthers running back Rico Dowdle to replace him. As a result, Johnson appears to remain stuck in the RB3 role in Pittsburgh heading into 2026. While Johnson showed dynasty managers little reason for optimism in 2025, there would be little point in selling him now when his value is at its lowest. Johnson has the advantage of working with an entirely new Steelers coaching staff in 2026, which could provide him with the fresh start he needs. If Johnson can be had for pennies on the dollar, deep-league dynasty managers may want to consider buying very low on him.
