Tennessee Titans running back Tony Pollard was a non-factor for the most part in Sunday's 42-19 loss to the Washington Commanders. The Titans fell behind early as the Commanders built a 28-0 first-half lead. Pollard totaled just 35 rushing yards on his eight carries and had a costly early fumble. He did save some value by catching four of six targets for 33 receiving yards, but it was a big letdown after last week's game with 100-plus yards and a rushing touchdown. Despite the down game, Pollard will be in a good spot to get back in the groove as the Titans host the Jaguars in Week 13. He'll be a solid RB2 with RB1 upside in that bounce-back spot next week.
Tennessee Titans running back Tony Pollard is coming off one of his best performances of the season, amassing 119 yards and a touchdown off 24 carries, adding three catches for 10 yards in the win over the Houston Texans. After a few rough weeks, fantasy managers were certainly thrilled to see him turn things around. However, Pollard has had some uneventful showings during the 2024-25 campaign, so he's far from a sure thing from a fantasy standpoint. Still, the 27-year-old should be considered a starting fantasy option in nearly any fantasy format imaginable for the Week 13 matchup versus the Washington Commanders.
With Tennessee Titans running back Tyjae Spears (concussion) ruled out for Week 12 against the division-rival Houston Texans, it looks like Tony Pollard will carry more of the load on Sunday. However, Pollard has slowed down after a hot start in 2024. He had just 15 yards on nine carries in the Week 11 loss to the Minnesota Vikings, the second straight week with fewer than 10 carries and 50 rushing yards. The Titans will want to get their ground game going against Houston to help take some pressure off quarterback Will Levis and the offensive line. Pollard leads the Titans with 160 carries this year for 681 yards and three touchdowns and he should have some more volume upside as a low-end RB2/high-end RB3/flex against the Texans. The matchup isn't ideal, though, as Houston's D has allowed the fifth-fewest half-PPR points to RBs in 11 games this year.
Tennessee Titans running back Tony Pollard rushed nine times for 15 yards in a 23-13 loss to Minnesota this weekend. The former Cowboy added two receptions for 14 yards in the defeat. Pollard still led the Titans in carries but was turned away all game long as the stout Minnesota run defense lived up to their billing, only allowing 33 total yards on the afternoon. Tyjae Spears only saw five opportunities in the game and was evaluated for a head injury post-game, so Pollard will remain the bell cow in this backfield, especially if Spears can't go next week. Tennessee struggled to move the ball most of the game, which did not benefit Pollard, but he should find more success against the Houston Texans next week.
Tennessee Titans running back Tony Pollard (foot) was cleared from the final injury report this week and will take on the Minnesota Vikings and their stout run defense this upcoming Sunday. With Tyjae Spears returning to the lineup last week, Pollard played a season low in snaps at 54% and only received nine carries in the game. The positives were that Pollard received more work in the passing game than Spears and was more efficient, but the latter's stock is definitely on the decline. This week against a Vikings defense that is fourth-best against fantasy running backs and is No. 1 in the league in yards allowed, Pollard is demoted to a low-end flex. The former Cowboy is still in the mix given his role in the offense, but if he doesn't score a touchdown it will likely be a disappointing performance for fantasy managers given Minnesota's propensity to shut down their oppositions ground game.
