Chances are, 28-year-old Tony Pollard won't be the reason you win your fantasy league this upcoming season. He's a running back who has never eclipsed 1,100 yards rushing, has only one season with more than 50 receptions, and only one season of double-digit TDs. Not exactly a fantasy option that managers are fighting over. But Pollard provides solid depth on any fantasy roster he's on. He's a durable (only missed two games in his six-year career) starting RB on his NFL team with few proven commodities behind him and an offensive-minded head coach who wants the offense to be the calling card of this team.
Tennessee's defense last season, particularly its run defense, was pretty bad. They finished 26th in total yards allowed, and only five teams in the NFL gave up more than the 21 rushing scores. That translates into hidden production through the air for Pollard. Ward is not much of a run threat, and young passers tend to lean heavily on dump-offs to RBs and TEs. That means Pollard can have one or two weeks where he ends up as a top-12 RB due to garbage-time receptions. If you draft Pollard as a RB3/flex option, you won't be disappointed.

Tyjae Spears suffers sprained ankle Preseason Week 1 By: Mike Krueger | Sat Aug 9, 11:45 pm

FFToday's Take: We still need more information on Spears' injury but this isn't great news. Depending on the severity, Spears could be in danger of missing Week 1 which would leave Tony Pollard closer to a workhorse role. Spears dealt with ankle and hamstring injuries last season, playing in just 12 games.
