Weekly Writeup
Pollard ceded the primary backfield receiving role to Tyjae Spears last week but maintained a 17-4 lead in carries. That’s more important than Spears’ 2 TDs, which relied on at least a bit of luck. Pollard’s ankle remains an issue, keeping him out of practice Wednesday and Thursday. But he also missed those two days last week, went limited Friday, and entered Sunday questionable. We’ll watch for any more specific updates on his status ahead of this week’s game.

Bottom Line

Pollard didn’t live up to expectations in Dallas last year.

Being paid as a top-ten NFL RB should force the Titans' hand to give him every chance to succeed.

Joe Mixon showed how a RB in the Brian Callahan offense can be utilized in a variety of ways, so Pollard has that same potential.

With Tyjae Spears as a superior receiving option at RB, Pollard will be a TD-dependent RB2 whose volume will be his best asset.

What We Learned Last Year

  • Pollards’ 1,005 rushing yards ranked 12th among RBs. His 55 catches ranked eighth.
  • He did not miss any games due to injury.
  • Pollard ranked as the PPR RB14 in total fantasy points and the RB23 in points per game.
    • He finished RB12 or better four times. He recorded four games between RB13 and RB24.
  • He ranked 15th among all ball carriers in rushing success rate at 50.0%.
  • He played 71% of the Cowboys offensive snaps last season.
  • His per-game averages for the season were above his career averages:
    • 14.8 carries (9.65)
    • 59.1 rushing yards (45.8)
    • 0.35 rushing TDs (0.29)
    • 3.94 targets (2.89)
    • 3.24 catches (2.23)
    • 18.3 receiving yards (16.7)
    • 0.00 receiving TDs (0.06)
  • Among 51 RBs with 90+ carries last year, Pollard ranked:
    • Ninth in Pro Football Focus rushing grade
    • 36th in PFF’s Elusive Rating
    • 34th in NFL Next Gen Stats’ Rush Yards Over Expected Per Attempt
  • His receiving metrics raise some red flags. Among 43 RBs with 30+ targets, Pollard ranked:
    • 40th in PFF receiving grade
    • 36th in yards per route run

What to Expect in 2024

  • Pollard signed with the Titans on a three-year deal worth $24 million with $10.49 million guaranteed. His $7.25 million per year ranks ninth among RBs.
  • Pollard enters his first season on the Titans under HC and play caller Brian Callahan and OC Nick Holz
  • The Titans are expected to perform similarly to last season. They are fourth in highest win total in the AFC South at 6.5 wins on most sportsbooks.
  • They also are tied for 27th in terms of highest Super Bowl odds at +15000 on most sportsbooks.
  • Pollard enters his sixth season at 27 years old. According to our aging curve research, the average RB with Pollard’s career and profile will produce 85-95% of peak value at age-27.
  • New teammate Tyjae Spears beat Pollard last year in:
    • Rush yards after contact per attempt
    • PFF Elusive Rating
    • Rush yards over expected per attempt
    • PFF receiving grade
    • Yards per route run

Tony Pollard, RB TEN

Tony Pollard Questionable For Week 16

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 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 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.

Titans RB Tony Pollard (ankle) is active for today’s game vs. the Bengals. He only got in a limited practice on Friday and was listed as questionable, so there’s clearly some risk here. But Pollard has been playing through injuries for much of the season, and we’ve heard nothing about his volume being scaled back today. See where Pollard sits in the Week 15 RB Rankings.

Dynasty Write-up
Pollard set career highs across the board in 2022. He earned the franchise tag in March of '23, then watched the team release veteran Zeke Elliott. Still, coming off a January fibula fracture, Pollard took a major step back last fall. Now, he projects as a timeshare option alongside Tyjae Spears.
