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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
According to Terry McCormick of the Titans Insider, running back Tony Pollard (ankle) should play against the Cincinnati Bengals this weekend. Pollard has been unable to practice all week but is still trending positively. Fantasy managers should monitor the injury report later this afternoon, as Pollard will likely carry an injury designation, given his practice status throughout the week. Last weekend, Pollard tallied 102 yards on 21 attempts and added 22 yards on two receptions during their loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. If Pollard can suit up as expected, he should be viewed as a solid RB2 in all formats, facing the Cincinnati Bengals, who have allowed the 14th-fewest PPR points to opposing running backs this season.
Tennessee Titans running back Tony Pollard (ankle) was not seen at the start of Thursday's practice after missing practice on Wednesday due to an ankle injury. His absence is notable, but he has played this season after sitting out an entire week of practice, so fantasy managers should follow his status on Friday and heading into Sunday afternoon's contest against the Cincinnati Bengals. The Bengals have allowed 130.3 rushing yards per game this year, so the former Dallas Cowboy is a must-start if he's active despite any risk of a limited workload. The Memphis native is averaging 12.2 half-PPR fantasy points per game behind over 1,100 scrimmage yards and four touchdowns. If he cannot suit up on Sunday, backup Tyjae Spears will enter the fantasy radar as a potential flex option, but Julius Chestnut could see some action behind him.
Tennessee Titans running back Tony Pollard (ankle) was held out of the first practice of the week on Wednesday due to a foot injury. Pollard didn't suffer a noticeable ankle injury during the team's Week 14 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars and handled 21 carries for 102 yards last Sunday, so the Titans could just be resting their lead back early in the week. While his status bears watching as the team prepares for Week 15 versus the Cincinnati Bengals, Pollard could be back on track to play if he returns to practice on Thursday or Friday. If Pollard is actually in danger of missing this weekend's game, Tyjae Spears would be a popular waiver-wire pickup as Tennessee's likely lead back against a Bengals defense that has given up chunk play after chunk play in 2024. Fantasy managers will want to check back on Pollard's status later this week.
Tony Pollard Posts 124 Total Yards In Loss To Jacksonville
Tennessee Titans running back Tony Pollard rushed 21 times for 102 yards while adding two receptions on as many targets for 22 yards in the 10-6 loss to Jacksonville on Sunday. While it was an abysmal performance from the Titans offense who only mustered six points against the NFL's worst defense, Pollard was the lone bright spot on the day. The former Cowboy posted his third 100-plus yard rushing game of the season and averaged a healthy 4.9 YPC, tied for his fourth-highest mark of the year. Pollard also dominated the touches once again, receiving 23 opportunities in comparison to his backfield mate Tyjae Spears' eight. With the fantasy playoffs starting next week vs. Cincinnati, Pollard checks in as a high-floor RB2 but with limited upside due to the volatility of this Titans offense.
