Who Should I Start? Tony Pollard or TreVeyon Henderson

Tuesday, May 20, 2:34 PM

Tennessee Titans running back Tony Pollard (ankle) said his rehab and recovery efforts from a late-season sprained ankle have gone "great," and it has allowed him to prepare better this offseason compared to last. The former Dallas Cowboy enjoyed a relatively productive season in his first year with Tennessee, considering the poor offensive environment he played in. Overall, Pollard rushed 260 times for 1,079 yards and five touchdowns. He added 41 receptions for 238 yards through the air. While he should be penciled in as the team's RB1 again in 2025, he could split more time with Tyjae Spears if the former Tulane back can stay healthy. Additionally, sixth-round rookie running back Kalel Mullings, a 230-pound bruiser, could mix in near the goal line. Pollard continues to have RB2 upside and starting appeal in favorable matchups, but he might not operate as a workhorse next season.

The New England Patriots view rookie running back TreVeyon Henderson as "a three-down back and a really good complement," according to general manager Eliot Wolf. "He's a threat with the ball in his hands, speed to take at the distance anytime he touches it." The Patriots selected the former Ohio State product with the 38th overall pick in the second round of last week's NFL draft as the fourth RB off the board. The 22-year-old will most likely split backfield touches with Rhamondre Stevenson to begin his first year in the NFL, similar to what he did with the Buckeyes last year with Quinshon Judkins. The 5-foot-10, 202-pound 22-year-old has the ability to do damage with long plays anytime the ball is in his hands, giving New England another dynamic playmaker behind young quarterback Drake Maye. At the very least, Henderson will be a handcuff option for fantasy managers that take the chance on Stevenson.
