Tony Pollard Anticipated To Suit Up In Week 16

Tennessee Titans running back Tony Pollard (ankle) is anticipated to play in Sunday's game versus the Colts. The 2019 No. 128 overall pick has played through an ankle injury over the last few weeks. However, it appears he'll get out there on Sunday after not practicing during the week and carrying a questionable designation. With the Titans eliminated from postseason contention, Pollard has little incentive to play other than being 18 yards shy of his third-consecutive 1,000-yard rushing season. Although the 27-year-old will likely hit that mark in Week 16, it's unknown how much of a factor he will be for the offense. With that in mind, Pollard is a risky option against Indianapolis despite the favorable matchup. Tyjae Spears, who scored twice in the loss to the Bengals, may still have a role. But Pollard's expected presence, even if he's limited, will likely cap Spears' volume and fantasy potential.

Titans Sign Brayden Narveson To Active Roster

According to Mike Garafolo of the NFL Network, the Tennessee Titans are signing kicker Brayden Narveson to the active roster. The Titans also added another year to his contract to keep him under team control through the 2025 season. This is also worth monitoring as No.1 kicker Nick Folk (abdomen) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game. Folk opened the week as a non-participant but was able to upgrade to a limited participant which may open the door for him to suit up. Narveson operated as the starting kicker in Green Bay over the first six games and held an underwhelming 70.6% conversion rate and was 16-for-16 on extra points. However, with Mason Rudolph getting the starting nod, both kickers should remain on the waiver wire and out of your starting lineup this weekend as the Titans may have trouble getting points on the board.

Will Levis Questionable For Week 16

Tennessee Titans quarterback Will Levis (shoulder) was benched in favor of Mason Rudolph for the Week 16 contest against the division-rival Indianapolis Colts, and now he's questionable to serve as the backup on Sunday after being limited in Friday's practice with a right-shoulder injury. It's unclear exactly how serious Levis' shoulder injury is, but if the Titans don't feel he's healthy enough to be Rudolph's backup, Trevor Siemian would be elevated from the practice squad to Tennessee's 53-man active roster for Sunday's contest. The 25-year-old improved his completion percentage from 58.4% of 63.7% in his sophomore year, but overall he was way too inconsistent and struggled with turnovers in his 11 starts, throwing for 1,916 yards, 12 touchdowns and 12 interceptions while also taking 40 sacks and fumbling seven times. Depending on what the team does at QB in the offseason, Levis could be a backup in 2025.

Tony Pollard Questionable For Week 16

According to Jim Wyatt of the Titans, running back Tony Pollard (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Indianapolis Colts. Pollard was unable to participate in practice all week but the team is leaving the door open for him. However, fantasy managers should begin to find an alternative option as he will likely face an uphill battle to suit up. Pollard has battled a lingering ankle injury over the past few weeks and was even forced out of last weekend's game due to it. If Pollard is unable to suit up, Tyjae Spears would step into the lead role. If Pollard is eventually ruled out, Spears would become a viable RB2 in all formats in a favorable matchup as the Colts have allowed the sixth-most PPR points to opposing running backs this season.

Titans Not Expecting L'Jarius Sneed Back This Year

Tennessee Titans head coach Brian Callahan said on Friday that the team isn't expecting cornerback L'Jarius Sneed (quadriceps) to play in the final three games of the 2024 regular season. Sneed landed on Injured Reserve on Nov. 23. It will end up being a lost season for the 27-year-old defensive back, as he played in just five games in his first year in Tennessee. In those five contests, Sneed contributed 23 tackles (19 solo) and two tackles for loss. Before coming to the Titans via free agency as a notable offseason pickup, Sneed had established himself as one of the better cornerbacks in the league in his four seasons with the Kansas City Chiefs. For a Titans secondary that surely has its issues, they will be hoping that Sneed can return in 2025 to the form he displayed in Kansas City before signing a contract with Tennessee.

Nick Folk Will Be Game-Time Decision In Week 16

Tennessee Titans head coach Brian Callahan said that kicker Nick Folk (abdomen) will be a game-time decision for Sunday's contest versus the division-rival Indianapolis Colts in Week 16. For insurance in case he can't go, the team plans to bring up Brayden Narveson from the practice squad to the active 53-man roster for the weekend. The 40-year-old veteran has been basically automatic this year for a lackluster Titans offense, but he apparently came out of the Week 15 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals with an injury and may not be able to kick in Week 16. Folk has made 21 of his 22 field-goal tries in 2024 and has been successful on all 25 of his extra-point tries as well. However, because of his injury and in an offense that will start Mason Rudolph at quarterback this weekend, fantasy managers will want to avoid Folk. UPDATE: Folk is officially questionable for Week 16.

Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, Tyler Boyd Return To Practice On Friday

According to Turron Davenport of ESPN, wide receivers Nick Westbrook-Ikhine (ankle) and Tyler Boyd (foot) both returned to practice on Friday. This is a great sign for their status heading into the weekend as both were listed as non-participants during the first two practices of the week. Fantasy managers should monitor Friday's final injury report as both wideouts may carry an injury designation into the weekend given their non-participation earlier in the week. After tallying eight touchdown in eight games during Weeks 6 through 13, Westbrook-Ikhine has brought in just three passes over his past two games. Boyd has tallied at least 35 yards in three of his past four games while operating as the clear No.3 option. If one of the wideouts were to sit out, Calvin Ridley would see a significant uptick in targets.

Tyler Boyd Sidelined From Practice Thursday

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Tyler Boyd (foot) did not participate in practice on Thursday. The 30-year-old receiver will likely need to log a limited or full practice on Friday in order to have any chance of playing against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 16. Boyd has delivered modest production through 14 games in 2024, catching 35 passes for 356 yards but failing to find the end zone. He should be left on waivers in most fantasy leagues heading into this week's divisional battle.

Nick Westbrook-Ikhine Not Practicing On Thursday

According to Terry McCormick of the Titans Insider, wide receiver Nick Westbrook-Ikhine (ankle) did not practice for the second straight day on Thursday afternoon. Fantasy managers should pay close attention to his status during Friday's session, as he could be in danger of missing Sunday's game. After finding the end zone eight times during Weeks 6 through 13 (eight games), Westbrook has just brought in three passes over his previous two games. Last weekend, Westbrook-Ikhine caught two passes for nine yards and did not show any injury concern during the game. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status, as he would open up more opportunities for Tyler Boyd if he were to sit out. No.1 wide receiver Calvin Ridley would see the most significant target increase in his absence and could be a viable high-floor flex option facing the Indianapolis Colts.

Tony Pollard Does Not Practice On Thursday

According to Terry McCormick of the Titans Insider, running back Tony Pollard (ankle) was not seen at practice for the second straight day. Fantasy managers should pay close attention to his status on Friday, as he will likely carry an injury designation after missing the first two practice sessions of the week. Pollard has been dealing with a lingering ankle injury over the past few weeks but was forced out of last weekend's game to it and could have faced a setback. Before leaving, Pollard was able to tally 45 yards and a score. Despite dealing with numerous injuries, he has still averaged a solid 75.3 yards per game since Week 12. If Pollard were to sit out this weekend, Tyjae Spears should be viewed as a high-end RB2 facing the Indianapolis Colts, who have allowed the sixth-most PPR points to opposing RBs this season.

Mason Rudolph  • QB  •  Titans

Mason Rudolph Not Locked In As Rest-Of-Season Starter

Tennessee Titans head coach Brian Callahan confirmed Mason Rudolph will start at quarterback against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 16, but he is not naming him the starter for the rest of the season and will take it week by week. The veteran and former Pittsburgh Steelers backup is set to take over for Will Levis after another turnover-heavy game from the 2023 second-round pick out of Kentucky. Although the Colts have allowed the 12th-most fantasy points per game to quarterbacks, Rudolph is not worth rolling the dice on in the fantasy football playoffs. However, he has a small shot at upside for those counting on him in two-QB and Superflex leagues. If he posts a disastrous performance in Week 16, the Titans could go back to Levis in Week 17.

Tony Pollard Missing Wednesday's Practice

Tennessee Titans running back Tony Pollard (ankle) is not practicing on Wednesday ahead of the Week 16 matchup with the Indianapolis Colts. The veteran did not practice at all last week due to an ankle injury and still played against the Cincinnati Bengals, so fantasy managers will likely have to wait until Sunday to truly know if he's at risk of missing the AFC South matchup. However, Tennessee might opt to get Tyjae Spears more touches after he scored two touchdowns and posted 92 total yards last weekend. The Colts have allowed the eighth-most fantasy points per game to running backs, so this is a backfield worth monitoring for the rest of the week.

Will Levis Likely Being Benched

The Tennessee Titans are planning to make a switch at quarterback for the Week 16 contest against the division-rival Indianapolis Colts, with Mason Rudolph taking over for second-year signal-caller Will Levis, according to a source. Levis threw three interceptions and lost a fumble in the Week 15 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals and was benched in favor of Mason Rudolph after going 8-for-12 for 89 yards. The 25-year-old has mostly struggled in 2024 and has also missed several games due to injury. In his 11 starts, Levis completed 63.7% of his pass attempts for 1,916 yards, 12 touchdowns, 12 interceptions (league-high four pick-sixes) and five lost fumbles while being sacked 40 times. While his completion percentage improved slightly over last year, Levis' overall touch and decision-making skills need more improvement. It's a bad sign for his future with the franchise that he's being benched with three weeks left in the regular season.

Mason Rudolph Expected To Start In Week 16

The Tennessee Titans are expected to start Mason Rudolph at quarterback against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 16, according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. This means 2023 second-round pick Will Levis is headed to the bench. Levis has committed 14 turnovers in just 11 games this season and has thrown for just 12 touchdowns. Rudolph has played in five games for Tennessee this year, completing 63% of his passes for 1,015 yards, six touchdowns, and five interceptions. The quarterback change does not dramatically affect the fantasy football outlooks for Tennessee's offensive weapons, but the offense could sustain more drives with the veteran under center.

Will Levis Benched, Replaced By Mason Rudolph

Tennessee Titans quarterback Will Levis has been benched and replaced by Mason Rudolph during the third quarter of Sunday's Week 15 game against the Cincinnati Bengals. The second-year quarterback led two touchdown drives early in the contest, but then the Titans turned the football over four times. At the time of his departure, Levis had completed eight of 12 passes for 89 yards, zero touchdowns, and three interceptions. Rudolph saw a little bit of action when Levis was injured earlier in the year, compiling a 59.4 percent completion rate, five total touchdowns, and five turnovers. Fantasy managers should stay tuned to see if Levis returns to the starting role next Sunday against the Indianapolis Colts, or if Rudolph wins the competition.

Luke Gifford Ruled Out With Concussion

Tennessee Titans linebacker Luke Gifford (concussion) has been diagnosed with a concussion and will not return in Week 15 against the Cincinnati Bengals. Gifford had been flying around the field before his injury, racking up eight tackles and an interception. He'll have just under one week to clear concussion protocol in time for next Sunday's game against the Indianapolis Colts.

Tony Pollard Officially Active Against Bengals

As expected, Tennessee Titans running back Tony Pollard (ankle) is officially active for Sunday's contest against the visiting Cincinnati Bengals in Week 15. Pollard missed practice on Wednesday and Thursday but returned to a limited practice on Friday before being labeled questionable for the weekend. The Titans expected their lead RB to play all along, though, and now it's official that he'll play against Cincy. The 27-year-old should be viewed as a strong RB2 play for fantasy managers in the first round of the playoffs in most leagues against a Bengals defense that has been gouged by opposing offenses all year long. Pollard saw 21 carries for 102 yards -- his third 100-yard game of the season -- in last week's loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. He's had 20-plus carries five times this year and should once again dominate backfield touches for the Titans this week.

Tony Pollard Expected To Play Versus Cincinnati

According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, Tennessee Titans running back Tony Pollard (ankle) is expected to suit up for Sunday's matchup with the Bengals. The former Cowboy didn't practice on Wednesday or Thursday because of an ankle injury. He practiced on Friday, although he was limited, resulting in a questionable designation heading into Week 15. It's certainly good news for fantasy managers, with Pollard on the verge of his third-straight 1,000-yard rushing season. There's a good chance he'll hit that mark on Sunday, assuming he plays, against an unreliable Bengals defense. With Pollard's anticipated availability, Tyjae Spears will lose nearly all of his fantasy value. Still, fantasy managers should hold on to Spears until Pollard officially gets the green light.

Calvin Ridley A Volatile WR2 With Great Matchup In Week 15

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Calvin Ridley enters the Week 15 matchup against the visiting Cincinnati Bengals as the WR28 in half-PPR points through 14 weeks of the season. He's coming off a seven-catch, 59-yard performance in last week's loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars in which he had 12 targets, just the second time all season he's seen double-digit looks. The efficiency has not been there (50.5% catch rate) in Tennessee's low-volume passing offense, which can make Ridley a very frustrating fantasy play. The 29-year-old is averaging 9.7 half-PPR points a game, which ranks 43rd among wideouts. The good news is he could have a boom week for fantasy managers on Sunday against a porous Bengals defense that has allowed 235.2 passing yards per game (sixth-most in the NFL). Ridley has opportunity, but he's also had fewer than 60 yards in three of his last four games. It's why he's a volatile WR2 for fantasy managers.

Tony Pollard Listed As Questionable For Week 15

Tennessee Titans running back Tony Pollard (ankle) returned to a limited practice participant on Friday but is listed as questionable for the Week 15 contest on Sunday against the visiting Cincinnati Bengals. Pollard missed the first two days of practice on Wednesday and Thursday but is expected to be active this weekend. Fantasy managers that are planning on starting the 27-year-old in the first round of the fantasy playoffs this weekend will want to check back on Sunday morning to see if Pollard is officially active, but he should be able to play. However, he could be in danger of ceding more work to change-of-pace option Tyjae Spears. Pollard has seen over 20 carries in two of the last three games, and in those contests he's gone over 100 rushing yards both times. If he's active, Pollard should see the majority of the backfield touches, making him an upside RB2 play in a good matchup against Cincy's soft defense.
