Tony Pollard delivered another high-impact performance for the Tennessee Titans, rushing for 117 yards on 21 carries and scoring two touchdowns in an overtime loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. The veteran running back also hauled in three of five targets for 20 receiving yards, showcasing his versatility despite a single fumble. This output follows a dominant Week 7 showing where he rushed for 129 yards and three scores against Cleveland, cementing his status as the team’s most reliable offensive weapon.
RB3/Flex value surges as Tennessee’s offense finally shows signs of life
Fantasy managers have been rewarded by Pollard’s recent surge, as he has now recorded at least 14 carries and 50 rushing yards in each of his last seven games. With six total touchdowns on the season, Pollard has emerged as a viable RB3/Flex option despite playing in what has historically been an anemic offensive system. His consistent floor and rising ceiling suggest that his production is sustainable, even if the broader team performance remains volatile.
The Titans’ offense appears to be finding its rhythm, scoring 36, 24, and 26 points in the last three weeks, which could further elevate Pollard’s fantasy value. However, trade rumors surrounding Pollard remain a factor, and a potential change of scenery might impact his role. Fantasy owners should monitor his status through the Week 9 bye, as his hot streak faces a potential test against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 10.
