Outlook Tony Pollard
Tony Pollard vs. NYJ — Lead Back Workload in a Projected Defensive Battle
Tony Pollard enters Week 1 as Tennessee's lead running back ahead of Tyjae Spears, looking to build on consecutive 1,000-yard campaigns. Now fully healthy after shaking off a minor preseason foot issue, Pollard is set to anchor the ground attack for rookie quarterback Cam Ward in an outdoor home clash against the Jets.
Managers remain somewhat cautious, as Pollard is rostered in 99% of leagues but started in only 42%. This low-scoring environment carries a projected total of just 38.5 points, which could limit scoring opportunities. Our projections slate Pollard for 10.8 fantasy points with around 12 rushes for 53 yards alongside light receiving work, keeping him in play as a dependable flex option.

Outlook Mike Washington
Mike Washington vs. Dolphins — Promising rookie opens as an upside bench stash
Mike Washington enters Week 1 operating as the primary backup behind starter Ashton Jeanty in Las Vegas. The fourth-round rookie generated significant buzz over the preseason with his explosive playmaking, earning strong praise from offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak and the front office as someone capable of carving out a legitimate role in this scheme.
While rostered in roughly 63% of leagues, fantasy managers are taking a measured approach with only a 2% start rate. Our models project Washington for roughly 6 carries and 34 total yards in a low-scoring home matchup against Miami. He carries intriguing long-term upside, but he is strictly a bench stash until his weekly volume materializes.
