BALLER MOVE: Start in 12-Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: RB3
ANALYSIS: Tennessee Titans running back Tony Pollard enters 2024 in an unsettled spot. After rushing for over 1,000 yards for the second consecutive season, Pollard moved over to Tennessee this offseason where he's likely to lose some snaps to Tyjae Spears.
That makes it tough to determine Pollard's fantasy value this season. If the explosiveness that seemingly vanished last season doesn't return, he could easily take a major step back. If his red zone usage looks like it did in 2023 and he can convert better on those opportunities, he could finish as a solid RB2.
Tony Pollard is the ONLY RB (other than Javonte Williams) to have 250+ touches & 40+ receptions last year priced OUTSIDE of the Top-24 RB’s this year.

In Week 1, fantasy managers should play it safe with Pollard. If you need a flex, he's a fine option, but a matchup with a Chicago Bears defense that allowed the fewest rushing yards in the league last season severely limits his upside.
