Despite only averaging 4 yards per carry last year, Pollard still put up good overall numbers. He also started the year injured last year which may have affected his play. Pollard is the Titans RB1 and should be given plenty of chances in week 1. He should be considered a mid-to-high-range RB3.
He is the RB22 in our half-PPR consensus staff rankings.
Should I Start Najee Harris for Fantasy Football?
Pittsburgh Steelers running back Najee Harris saw his least carries since joining the team in his 223 season, carrying the ball 255 times for 1035 yards. He was also targeted 38 times, catching 29 passes for 170 yards.
The best values at RB based on ADP
D'Andre Swift: RB20
Najee Harris: RB24
Austin Ekeler: RB31
Javonte Williams: RB32
Devin Singletary: RB34
Tyjae Spears: RB35
Ezekiel Elliott: RB36
Chase Brown: RB38
Chuba Hubbard: RB44
Antonio Gibson: RB49— Skrip (@P2WFantasy) August 17, 2024
His touches began to dip when Jaylen Warren started to share the ball. Warren has been more efficient the past couple of years but still doesn't get nearly as many looks as Harris.
Harris is still listed as the starter and should get plenty of chances in week 1. He is considered a middle-of-the-pack RB3
He is the RB26 in our half-PPR consensus staff rankings.
Should I Start Devin Singletary for Fantasy Football?
New York Giants running back Devin Singletary saw 216 carries for 898 yards and four touchdowns in his 2023 season with the Houston Texans.
Attention fantasy owners: RB Devin Singletary is going to have prime usage. Wouldn’t be surprised to see him take more than 80% of the Giants snaps in a role similar to Saquon Barkley last season.

With Singletary never rushing for over 900 yards in a season, Even as the Giants RB1, I don't expect much from him in week 1. While he makes good depth, I would recommend sitting him for week 1.
He is the RB24 in our half-PPR consensus staff rankings.
