Outlook Tony Pollard
Lead Role Security in Tennessee Offers Premium Draft-Day Value
Tony Pollard enters the season anchoring the Tennessee backfield as the primary runner, ahead of Tyjae Spears on the depth chart. Coming off back-to-back seasons with over 250 carries for the Titans, our models project him for another heavy workload of 211 carries and 981 rushing yards.
Despite sharing some passing-down work, Pollard remains a viable dual-threat asset. His recent comments highlight his confidence as he seeks a fifth consecutive 1,000-all-purpose-yard season. We project him to chip in 29 receptions, keeping his floor stable in PPR formats where managers currently start him in 38% of leagues.
Over the past month, Pollard's ADP has stabilized around 81.00 after a brief dip. This draft cost represents a significant value opportunity. Our projections view his steady mid-round price as a steal for a lead back with secured volume.

Outlook Chris Rodriguez
Target Offseason Addition Poised for Key Backfield Role After Injury Recovery
Chris Rodriguez enters his first season in Duval County as a highly coveted offseason addition, with offensive coordinator Liam Coen specifically targeting him. He sits behind Bhayshul Tuten on the depth chart but is positioned as the primary backup. This role should yield a solid share of early-down work. Our projections expect a meaningful workload, forecasting him for 137 rushing attempts, 623 yards, and 5 touchdowns.
While Rodriguez underwent offseason foot surgery in early June, reports confirm he is expected to be a full-go for the start of training camp. This positive outlook has reassured fantasy managers. This is evident in his rising ownership rates, which climbed from 48% to 58% over the past month as his health status cleared up.
Rodriguez's ADP saw volatility in June, falling to pick 151 following the surgery news before climbing back to a stable 138 in July. In 1.0 PPR formats, he remains a cheap depth piece with upside if Tuten misses time. At this price, our models view him as a strong value option who could outperform his draft-day cost if he secures the secondary role.
