Tony Pollard Still the Starting Running Back in Tennessee?

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.

Omarion Hampton News

Omarion Hampton Faces Minimal Competition After the NFL Draft

Sunday, April 26, 8:32 AM

Los Angeles Chargers running back Omarion Hampton remains the clear-cut No. 1 option on the depth chart heading into May. The Chargers didn't select a running back in the 2026 NFL Draft, leaving Hampton in the lead-back role and Keaton Mitchell as his projected backup. Mitchell has flashed burst and productivity in the past, and he averages 6.34 yards per carry so far in his career. While his speed fits nicely in offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel's system, he offers an occasional burst or big play, rather than every-down consistency. The every-down role should remain with Hampton, who averaged 60.6 rushing yards, 3.6 catches, 21.3 receiving yards, and 0.6 touchdowns per game while dodging injuries as a rookie last year. He remains the overall RB8 in RotoBaller's latest dynasty fantasy football rankings.
