Titans RB Tony Pollard is officially out with the flu and is not traveling with the team to Jacksonville for Sunday’s game. This places Tyjae Spears as the lead back for the gam

Titans K Nick Folk (abdomen) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Jaguars. Matthew Wright will kick for Tennessee this weekend but is not a recommended fantasy play.

Titans RB Tony Pollard (ankle) missed practice all week and is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Jaguars. He was in the same boat last week before playing against the Colts – although he finished with just 10 touches on a 39% snap rate. That was partly game-script related, but we don’t expect a huge workload for Pollard this weekend even if script works in his favor.

TE Chig Okonkwo led the Titans in targets (11), receptions (9), and receiving yards (81) for Sunday's loss to the Colts. He also ran a route on a season-high 83.3% of Tennessee dropbacks, trailing only WR Nick Westbrook-Ikhine and WR Calvin Ridley. It was the second straight week Okonkwo set season highs in targets and receptions.

Tyjae Spears beat Tony Pollard in carries, receptions, total yards, and fantasy scoring in Sunday's loss to the Colts. The biggest differentiator was Spears claiming both of the team's rushing scores, which came late in the third quarter and late in the fourth.

Titans K Nick Folk (abdomen) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Colts. He’ll be replaced by K Brayden Narveson. Look elsewhere for Week 16 fantasy lineups.

Titans RB Tony Pollard (ankle) is active for today’s game vs. the Colts. Pollard has been playing through injuries for much of the season, but he didn’t practice at all this week after aggravating his ankle injury in last Sunday’s game. We haven’t seen any specific reports about Pollard being limited today, but we’re projecting him to cede more work than usual to RB Tyjae Spears. See where both guys sit in the Week 16 RB Rankings.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that Titans RB Tony Pollard (ankle) is expected to play vs. the Colts today. Schefter doesn't make any mention of Pollard being limited, but we'd be surprised if he handled his usual workload after missing practice all week. We're projecting RB Tyjae Spears to handle most of the passing-down snaps, while also cutting into Pollard's early-down work. See where both guys sit in the Week 16 RB Rankings.

Titans K Nick Folk (abdomen) is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Colts. He only got in a limited practice on Friday. Look elsewhere for a Week 16 fantasy kicker.

Titans RB Tony Pollard (ankle) did not practice all week and is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Colts. He’s been playing through injuries for much of the season, but this is seemingly the worst shape he’s been in. Pollard will be a risky fantasy play if he ends up active. If not, RB Tyjae Spears figures to handle most of the backfield work and would be a viable fantasy start.

Titans RB Tony Pollard (ankle) did not practice on Wednesday. He appeared to aggravate this ankle injury early in last week's game but was able to return. We're tentatively expecting him to play vs. the Colts this weekend but will continue to monitor his status. RB Tyjae Spears should be rostered in virtually all fantasy leagues in case Pollard ends up missing one of these last few games.

Titans TE Chig Okonkwo led the team in targets (10) and receptions (8) in Sunday's loss to the Bengals. His 59 receiving yards ranked second on the team, behind RB Tyjae Spears. He drew just

Titans RB Tony Pollard ran for just 45 yards on 17 carries in Sunday's loss to the Bengals. He scored a TD but also drew 0 targets for the first time all season. Blame a lack of opportunities. Pollard ran a mere 7 pass routes compared to 27 for Tyjae Spears, according to Pro Football Focus. That followed Spears edging Pollard 16-12 in Week 14 routes.

Titans RB Tyjae Spears tallied a team-high 87 receiving yards and a TD on 6 receptions in Sunday's loss to the Bengals. He added 5 rushing yards on 4 carries.

Titans QB Will Levis was benched in the third quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Bengals. He completed 8 of 12 passes for 89 yards, 0 TDs, and 3 INTs. Levis had been playing reasonably well coming off his shoulder injury but has now had two duds in a row against bad Jaguars and Bengals defense. We'll see if Tennessee goes back to Levis next week or rolls with QB Mason Rudolph. Either way, it's a situation to avoid in fantasy lineups.

Titans RB Tony Pollard is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Bengals with an ankle injury. This is presumably an aggravation of the issue that had him questionable coming in. We'll update Pollard's status when we know more. His absence leaves Tyjae Spears as Tennessee's lead back.

Update: Pollard returned with about five minutes left in the first half.

Pollard has been playing through injuries for much of the season, and we’re tentatively expecting him to play against Cincinnati. But the ankle issue adds risk to his fantasy profile.

Pollard finished out last week's game, so we're still expecting him to play vs. the Bengals this weekend. But check back tomorrow for another update on his status.
