Tennessee Titans running back Tony Pollard did not have his most efficient game in Week 1 against the Denver Broncos, rushing for 60 yards on 18 carries and recording one catch for 29 yards. Still, Pollard received 90% of the running back carries for Tennessee in Week 1, a trend that figures to continue as long as Titans RB2 Tyjae Spears (ankle) remains on Injured Reserve due to a high ankle sprain. Pollard gets a tough matchup in Week 2 against the Los Angeles Rams, who allowed just nine points to the Houston Texans in Week 1. However, Houston gained 127 yards on the ground, and lead back Nick Chubb averaged 4.6 yards per carry. Expect Tennessee to lean on Pollard to ease the pressure on rookie quarterback Cameron Ward and slow down a formidable Rams' pass rush. Pollard is a volume-based low-end fantasy RB2 in Week 2.

Seattle Seahawks running back Zach Charbonnet (foot) missed a second straight day of practice this week on Thursday due to a foot injury, according to Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic. Charbonnet is probably going to need to return to practice on Friday to avoid being ruled out altogether for a Week 3 matchup this Sunday versus the New Orleans Saints. Even if the 24-year-old practices on Friday and plays on Sunday, he could lose valuable backfield touches to Kenneth Walker III in a good matchup at home against the 0-2 Saints. And if Charbonnet is out altogether, Walker will have RB1 upside in a likely workhorse role for Seattle. George Holani would serve as the Seahawks' RB2 behind Walker if Charbonnet is inactive, although he would not have standalone fantasy appeal as a streamer. Check back on Friday for Charb's official Week 3 status.
