Tennessee Titans

According to Terry McCormick of the Titans Insider, running back Tony Pollard (ankle) should play against the Cincinnati Bengals this weekend. Pollard has been unable to practice all week but is still trending positively. Fantasy managers should monitor the injury report later this afternoon, as Pollard will likely carry an injury designation, given his practice status throughout the week. Last weekend, Pollard tallied 102 yards on 21 attempts and added 22 yards on two receptions during their loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. If Pollard can suit up as expected, he should be viewed as a solid RB2 in all formats, facing the Cincinnati Bengals, who have allowed the 14th-fewest PPR points to opposing running backs this season.

Tennessee Titans kicker Nick Folk (groin) was a full-go in the team's practice on Thursday, one day after he was listed as a non-participant due to a groin injury. The Titans signed kicker Brayden Narveson to their practice squad on Wednesday, signaling that there was uncertainty as to whether Folk would be able to kick in Week 15 against the Cincinnati Bengals. The 40-year-old veteran still isn't guaranteed to play this weekend, but a return to a full practice after a DNP on Wednesday is definitely a good sign. Folk was Tennessee's entire offense in last Sunday's 10-6 loss to the division-rival Jacksonville Jaguars, making his only two field-goal attempts. Folk enters Week 15 action as the No. 18 fantasy kicker in terms of overall points and should be avoided in most leagues, even though the matchup against Cincy is a nice one. His 22 FG attempts on the year have him tied for 22nd among all kickers in 2024.

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Tyler Boyd (foot) made his return to practice on Thursday after he was listed as a non-participant for the first practice session of Week 15 on Wednesday. Boyd's return on Thursday puts him on track to at least have a shot at playing this Sunday when the team takes on the visiting Cincinnati Bengals and their suspect secondary. Even with the excellent upcoming matchup, the 30-year-old veteran wideout probably shouldn't be trusted as a starting fantasy option in the first round of the postseason in most league. In his first year in Tennessee, Boyd has struggled for fantasy relevance in a low-volume, inconsistent offense, catching 33 passes for only 317 yards. If Boyd isn't given the green light to suit up on Sunday, rookie Jha'Quan Jackson could be the team's starting slot receiver next to Calvin Ridley and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine.

Tennessee Titans running back Tony Pollard (ankle) was not seen at the start of Thursday's practice after missing practice on Wednesday due to an ankle injury. His absence is notable, but he has played this season after sitting out an entire week of practice, so fantasy managers should follow his status on Friday and heading into Sunday afternoon's contest against the Cincinnati Bengals. The Bengals have allowed 130.3 rushing yards per game this year, so the former Dallas Cowboy is a must-start if he's active despite any risk of a limited workload. The Memphis native is averaging 12.2 half-PPR fantasy points per game behind over 1,100 scrimmage yards and four touchdowns. If he cannot suit up on Sunday, backup Tyjae Spears will enter the fantasy radar as a potential flex option, but Julius Chestnut could see some action behind him.

Tennessee Titans kicker Nick Folk (groin) was listed as a non-participant for his team's first practice of the week. The 40-year-old has been near-automatic this season for Tennessee, knocking through every kick but one -- a field goal attempt -- through 13 games. Folk made both of his kicks in Sunday's loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars but apparently picked up a groin injury during the contest. While the severity of the ailment is unknown, the Titans did sign kicker Brayden Narveson to their practice squad. Folk will have a few more opportunities to prove his health before Tennessee's meeting with the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 15. Still, they are hedging their bets, which means the journeyman kicker could be on the wrong side of his current designation. If he can't play, Narveson would assuredly be called upon in his stead.
