Titans RB Tony Pollard (foot) is active for today’s game vs. the Patriots. He did not practice all week, and ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler said Saturday that RB Julius Chestnut is expected to play more today. We’re still expecting Pollard to be the clear lead back in this one, but he comes with more risk than usual in fantasy lineups.
ESPN's Adam Schefter confirms that Titans RB Tony Pollard (foot) is expected to play vs. the Patriots today. Schefter's colleague, Jeremy Fowler, said on Saturday that RB Julius Chestnut is expected to get more run today with Pollard battling this foot issue. We suspect that Chestnut's usage will ultimately depend on how Pollard is feeling during the game. Consider Pollard a risk/reward RB2 in Week 9 fantasy lineups. Chestnut would be a total desperation play.
ESPN's Jeremy Fowler writes that the Titans are "hopeful" RB Tony Pollard (foot) can play vs. the Patriots on Sunday. Fowler adds that RB Julius Chestnut "will get an extended look" even if Pollard plays. It makes sense that the Titans would want to lighten Pollard's load considering he didn't practice all week with this foot injury. We'd still expect him to lead this backfield if he ends up active tomorrow, but consider him more of a low-end RB2. Chestnut won't be a viable fantasy play unless Pollard is inactive.
Titans RB Tony Pollard (foot) did not practice all week and is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Patriots. We haven’t seen any other updates on his status. RB Tyjae Spears (hamstring) has been ruled out for Week 9. He practiced on Wednesday before being sidelined the next two days, so it looks like he suffered a setback. If Pollard can’t play this weekend, Tennessee would be down to RB Julius Chestnut and practice squaders Joshua Kelley and Jabari Small.
Titans RBs Tony Pollard (foot) and Tyjae Spears (hamstring) did not practice on Thursday. It's Pollard's second straight missed practice, while Spears was a limited participant on Wednesday. We'll see how these guys are listed on Friday's final injury report, RB Julius Chestnut is the next man up for Tennessee.
