Outlook Tony Pollard
Proven Volume and Lead Role Cement High-Floor RB2 Value in Tennessee
Tony Pollard enters the season as the clear lead back in Tennessee's backfield, sitting atop a depth chart that includes Tyjae Spears. Following back-to-back campaigns topping 250 carries for the Titans, Pollard brings proven durability and reliable volume. A minor mid-August foot injury is worth monitoring, but he remains firmly entrenched as the primary ball carrier.
Draft sentiment has steadily climbed over the summer, with Pollard's ADP rising from pick 81 in July into the mid-70s. In full-PPR formats, our models project him for 225 carries, 965 rushing yards, six touchdowns, and 22 receptions, totaling 191.0 fantasy points. At his current draft cost, that volume makes him a stable bargain.
While his pass-catching ceiling is somewhat shared with Spears, Pollard's projected rushing volume provides dependable weekly production. Fantasy managers can comfortably draft him as a sturdy RB2 or high-end flex anchor with an established touch floor.

Outlook Kenny Gainwell
Pass-Catching Role Offers PPR Flex Value in Tampa Bay's Backfield
Kenny Gainwell enters the campaign operating as the primary complementary back behind Bucky Irving in Tampa Bay's offense. While Irving is positioned to handle the bulk of early-down carries, Gainwell remains an integral third-down and passing-game weapon. Our models project him for 125 carries, 450 rushing yards, and 40 receptions on 68 targets, giving him a stable floor in full PPR formats.
Recent training camp highlights showcased his dynamic pass-catching ability, underscoring his value for Baker Mayfield. Fantasy sentiment reflects this situational role, as his start percentage sits around 27% despite high roster rates, showing managers treat him as quality depth.
Market trends show his ADP sliding from pick 96 down to 101. At this discounted cost, our projection of 171.0 fantasy points cements Gainwell as an appealing late-round PPR target with upside should backfield touches expand.
