Tennessee Titans DVOA, Stats, & NFL Rankings

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Tyler Boyd (foot) was unable to practice all week but is considered questionable to play on Sunday in a divisional clash versus the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 17. In addition to Boyd, receiver Colton Dowell (knee) is out and receiver Bryce Oliver (knee) is questionable. The Titans played running back Tony Pollard (ankle) after he missed all three days of practice last week, but that doesn't mean the team will do the same with Boyd this weekend. Even if the 30-year-old pass-catcher suits up on Sunday, he should be avoided by fantasy managers playing for a championship in Week 17. The matchup against Jacksonville is an excellent one, but Boyd would still have very little upside with quarterback Mason Rudolph running the offense. Boyd is still searching for his first touchdown of the year and has only 376 receiving yards in 15 games in 2024.

Tennessee Titans running back Tony Pollard (ankle) was unable to practice all week but is listed as questionable to play on Sunday in Week 17 against the division-rival Jacksonville Jaguars. Pollard also did not practice all of last week before drawing a questionable tag. He eventually was active in the Week 16 loss to the division-rival Indianapolis Colts and played a season-low 39% of the offensive snaps while seeing only 11 touches for 40 scrimmage yards. The week before in the loss to the Cincinnati Bengals, Pollard played just 44% of the offensive snaps. Pollard's workload is clearly being monitored late in the year with him banged up and the Titans out of the playoff picture. If he's active this weekend against the Jaguars, he'll be at risk of losing more work to Tyjae Spears, making him a shaky RB3/flex in fantasy despite the excellent matchup against a bad Jaguars defense.

Tennessee Titans kicker Nick Folk (abdomen) has been ruled out for the Week 17 matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Folk hasn't been able to practice this week due to an abdominal issue which will force him to miss his second straight game. The expectation is that Matthew Wright will be elevated from the practice squad to kick this weekend. Brayden Narveson kicked last week for Tennessee, but was cut after he missed his lone field goal attempt. Wright has made 11-of-12 field goal attempts and all his extra point attempts in three games between the San Francisco 49ers and Kansas City Chiefs. He has been productive when active, so fantasy managers looking for a possible streaming option might want to consider Wright.

Tennessee Titans running back Tony Pollard (ankle) was not seen at the portion of Friday's practice that was open to the media. Unless Pollard returned to the practice field after the media left, he will have missed practice all week, putting his availability firmly in doubt for Sunday's divisional matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Fantasy managers will want to check back for the 27-year-old status on the final injury report for Week 17 on Friday, but there's a possibility that he'll be ruled out entirely. If that happens, Tyjae Spears will operate as Tennessee's lead back and will have clear RB2 upside in a plus-plus matchup against the Jags' terrible defense. Pollard played in last week's loss to the Colts despite not practice all week, but he played just 39% of the snaps. He'll be a shaky RB3/flex for fantasy managers if he plays this weekend. Spears has four touchdowns in the last two games.

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Tyler Boyd (foot) missed a second straight practice this week on Thursday. Boyd suffered a foot injury in last week's loss to the Indianapolis Colts and is now in danger of having to sit out this Sunday's divisional contest against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The 30-year-old veteran will need to return to practice on Friday to avoid being ruled out entirely. In Tennessee's lackluster offense and low-volume passing attack in 2024, Boyd hasn't really been on the fantasy map while working behind WR1 Calvin Ridley. In 15 games in his first year with the Titans, Boyd has a mere 37 receptions on 53 targets for 376 yards and no touchdowns. He has not had more than six receptions or 55 yards receiving in a single game in 2024. In the last four games, he has just eight catches for 103 yards. Avoid Boyd in Week 17.
