News: 2 days agoPollard is set to lead a group of four running backs that made the Titans' initial 53-man roster.

Spin: Tennessee also kept Tyjae Spears, rookie fifth-round pick Nicholas Singleton and Julius Chestnut on the 53-man roster. The decision to roster four running backs, coupled with second-year QB Cam Ward's struggles in the preseason, could indicate a desire to implement a run-heavy approach from new OC Brian Daboll. Pollard has topped 1,000 scrimmage yards in five consecutive regular seasons, the last two of which came with the Titans, and he sits atop the RB depth chart heading into the regular season, with Spears poised to reprise his change-of-pace role.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Pollard has handled a hefty 67.2% of the Titans' designed rushing attempts since his arrival two seasons ago (15.2 per game) and, even with solid efficiency, he has finished 22nd and 30th in fantasy points per game. The culprits? Tennessee's struggling offense (Pollard has exactly five TDs in both seasons) and a limited receiving role when Tyjae Spears has been healthy (Pollard's targets fell from 3.5 per game in 2024 to 2.5 per game in 2025). Barring a major leap from quarterback Cam Ward, Pollard is unlikely to deliver only the second top-20 fantasy campaign (in points per game) of his career. The 29-year-old, entering his eighth NFL season (third with Tennessee), is a low-ceiling flex.
