Outlook Tony Pollard
Plummeting Draft Cost Unlocks Tremendous Value as Titans Lead Back
Tennessee's backfield continues to be paced by veteran Tony Pollard, who sits atop the depth chart ahead of Tyjae Spears. After consecutive seasons handling over 250 carries, Pollard retains a reliable grasp on early-down duties, though a modest 39% start rate reflects fantasy managers treating him more as a flex than an unquestioned starter.
Our projections forecast a productive campaign with 220 carries, 915 rushing yards, and six touchdowns. Even with an anticipated dip to 15 receptions, Pollard's track record of four straight 1,000-total-yard seasons provides a bankable floor and dependable touch volume inside an evolving Titans offense.
Draft sentiment has cooled noticeably, as Pollard's ADP tumbled from the late-70s in mid-August down to pick 115. A brief practice absence with a foot issue contributed to the slide, but our expectations make him a clear draft-day bargain rather than a falling knife.

Outlook Bhayshul Tuten
Poised for a Sophomore Leap as Jacksonville's Primary Ball Carrier
Tuten enters his second year atop Jacksonville's backfield depth chart after a modest 90-carry rookie campaign. Head coach Liam Coen praised his explosive speed throughout training camp, expecting a major step forward. While Chris Rodriguez Jr. and LeQuint Allen Jr. will carve out rotational roles, Tuten is positioned to pace the backfield.
Our projections forecast a substantial workload leap, projecting 235 rushes for 985 yards and eight touchdowns, along with 25 receptions. Fantasy managers have quickly bought in, pushing his rostered rate to near 100% and his starting percentage past 71% as kickoff approaches.
In season-long drafts, Tuten's ADP has drifted from the late fifth round down to pick 80 in recent weeks. With the market cooling over committee concerns, our numbers suggest his discounted draft cost presents excellent draft-day value for a lead runner.
