The Tennessee Titans have reportedly made running back Tony Pollard available in trade discussions after having already dealt away cornerbacks Jason Brownlee and Roger McCreary. The 28-year-old back has been workmanlike in his efforts this year, averaging just under four yards per carry on an offense that's had to fight for every inch. Pollard's contract runs through the 2026 season, but his dead cap for next year is only $2 million, and with him and 24-year-old Tyjae Spears seeing a near 50/50 split in recent weeks, he is clearly not a part of the Titans' long-term plans. With the NFL trade deadline just over a week away, some teams that have reportedly been in the running back market are the Kansas City Chiefs, Los Angeles Chargers, and New England Patriots.

Tennessee Titans running back Tony Pollard has struggled to find much success on the ground over the last few weeks. Last week, Pollard rushed a season-low six times for 18 yards in the loss to the New England Patriots. The 28-year-old was able to salvage his fantasy value by hauling in six receptions for an additional 43 yards through the air. The biggest problem Pollard is going to face now is that he'll split up the carries with Tyjae Spears in the backfield. Pollard has seen his carries decrease every game since Week 5. Luckily, Pollard has been able to find some success in the receiving game. He'll likely be asked to continue being utilized in that role with top wide receiver Calvin Ridley (hamstring) out again in Week 8. Given his recent performances, Pollard shouldn't be viewed as again more than a flex option against the Indianapolis Colts this weekend.

After a 31-13 loss to the Patriots, in which the team had only 12 rushing attempts, Tennessee Titans OC Nick Holz told reporters, "You want to be able to run the ball a little more." Six of the team's carries went to Tony Pollard, who converted them into only 18 yards but salvaged his fantasy day with six catches for an additional 43 yards. Unfortunately, the Titans are unlikely to experience a sudden influx of positive game scripts. Through seven weeks, they've run a total of 11 offensive plays while holding a lead. Pollard can still be started because of his reliable work in the passing game, but playing mostly from behind, along with a slowly increasing workload from Tyjae Spears, is not a recipe for a second-half fantasy boon.

Tennessee Titans running back Tony Pollard's fantasy value has started to decline following the return of Tyjae Spears, and he'll continue to face an uphill battle to produce in Week 7 against the New England Patriots. The veteran's snap share was essentially cut in half last week as Spears took on a bigger workload. A reduced snap share is never a good sign for fantasy purposes, and it's particularly concerning when discussing one of the NFL's worst teams. Pollard no longer has volume or game script on his side, making him tough to trust in fantasy football. To make matters worse, he's facing the Patriots, who have allowed the third-fewest rushing yards and fifth-fewest fantasy points to opposing running backs in 2025. Managers in most leagues can bench Pollard this week. At best, he is an RB3/flex.

Tennessee Titans running back Tony Pollard continues to be a solid contributor early in the season. Last week, Pollard rushed the ball 14 times for 67 yards and a touchdown in the win over the Arizona Cardinals. Pollard has rushed for 60 yards or more in four of his first five games of the season. The return of Tyjae Spears figures to slowly take away some of Pollard's value, but for now fantasy managers shouldn't be worried. Pollard has a plus matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders defense in Week 6. He should be able to offer low-end RB2 value for this weekend. Pollard continues succeeding, so the Titans are likely going to continue feeding him the ball.

Tennessee Titans running back Tony Pollard has seen a fairly heavy workload through the first four games of the season. Pollard has carried the ball 14 times or more every game, but he could see his workload decrease going forward. Fellow back Tyjae Spears (ankle) is currently questionable for the Week 5 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals. Spears has been out all season long, but appears to be almost ready to go. Pollard will likely see less carries once Spears returns. Until then, Pollard figures to remain the workhorse back in Tennessee. Pollard has rushed for 60 yards or more in three of his first four games of the season. The status of Spears could shift his value, but for now Pollard has flex appeal for Week 5.

Tennessee Titans running back Tony Pollard was able to find the end zone for the first time this season during last week's game against the Indianapolis Colts. Pollard rushed the ball 16 times for 45 yards with one touchdown in the loss. It hasn't been a great start to the season for Pollard, but he has seen 16 rushing attempts or more in every game. The 28-year-old is clearly the workhorse back in Tennessee right now. The Titans have changed over play-calling duties, so hopefully that will help this offense. Pollard is a fine flex play for the upcoming Week 4 matchup against the Houston Texans.

Tennessee Titans running back Tony Pollard drops to the RB3/flex tier ahead of his Week 3 matchup against the Indianapolis Colts. Although Pollard remains the workhorse in Tennessee, he has delivered modest production at best, averaging 4.0 yards per carry with only one reception and zero touchdowns so far. The Colts have averaged just 76 rushing yards allowed to running back rooms per game this season, which means Pollard will likely continue to struggle with efficiency on Sunday. He'll rank outside the top-24 running backs this week and ideally should only be started in leagues with at least 12 teams.

From RotoBaller

Tennessee Titans running back Tony Pollard did not have his most efficient game in Week 1 against the Denver Broncos, rushing for 60 yards on 18 carries and recording one catch for 29 yards. Still, Pollard received 90% of the running back carries for Tennessee in Week 1, a trend that figures to continue as long as Titans RB2 Tyjae Spears (ankle) remains on Injured Reserve due to a high ankle sprain. Pollard gets a tough matchup in Week 2 against the Los Angeles Rams, who allowed just nine points to the Houston Texans in Week 1. However, Houston gained 127 yards on the ground, and lead back Nick Chubb averaged 4.6 yards per carry. Expect Tennessee to lean on Pollard to ease the pressure on rookie quarterback Cameron Ward and slow down a formidable Rams' pass rush. Pollard is a volume-based low-end fantasy RB2 in Week 2.

From RotoBaller

Tennessee Titans running back Tony Pollard opens the 2025 season with a difficult Week 1 matchup against the Denver Broncos. Pollard averaged 67.4 rushing yards per game last season, and he's facing a Broncos defense that allowed the fifth-fewest rushing yards and fourth-fewest rushing touchdowns to opposing running backs last year. While Denver did show some susceptibility against pass-catching backs, Pollard will likely need to touch the ball around 20 times (or score a touchdown) to make him a meaningful fantasy starter. Managers should treat him as an RB3/FLEX option heading into this weekend.
