Tony Pollard Returns to Full Practice on Thursday

Thursday, October 8, 4:25 PM

Tennessee Titans running back Tony Pollard (foot) was a full participant in practice on Thursday after he was held out of practice on Wednesday, according to Jim Wyatt of the team's official website. Pollard has been battling through a minor foot injury in recent weeks, but he has not missed any games and should be good to go for Sunday's divisional tilt against the winless Houston Texans. The 29-year-old has a lower ceiling because of Tennessee's weak offense and the presence of pass-catching back Tyjae Spears. However, fantasy managers cannot really complain that Pollard has seen at least 14 rushing attempts in each of the last three games after carrying the ball just seven times for 35 yards in the Week 1 loss to the New York Jets. Pollard had 16 attempts for 48 yards and his first touchdown of 2026 in Sunday's loss to the Baltimore Ravens, adding two catches for two yards as a receiver. He should be viewed as more of a touchdown-dependent RB3/flex as the Titans look for their first win of the season.

TreVeyon Henderson in Prime Spot to Bounce Back

Friday, October 2, 10:40 PM

New England Patriots running back TreVeyon Henderson came back down to earth with an extremely quiet showing last Sunday, but we're still trusting him as a mid-to-low RB2 option ahead of Week 4 against the Buffalo Bills. Henderson had just eight carries for 23 rushing yards (plus one reception) last Sunday. The low volume can be attributed to the fact that New England had nothing going on offense and had to throw the ball more, but that's still something to consider as fantasy managers set their lineup for Week 4. The good news is that, even though Buffalo is favored by seven points, the Bills' defense has been iffy and should give Henderson an opportunity to bounce back after last week's dud. So far, Buffalo's run defense has allowed the seventh-most fantasy points, 10th-most rushing touchdowns, third-most receptions, third-most receiving yards, and second-most receiving touchdowns to opposing running backs in 2026. Game script aside, this matchup presents an extremely encouraging fantasy outlook for Henderson. He ranks as RotoBaller's RB25 in Week 4, but there's no disputing his top-15 upside.
