Don't be scared off by Cleveland's No. 2 ranking for PPR points allowed to RBs; that's from a lack of TDs (one) and receiving production (107 yards). The Browns haven't actually been great defending the run, ranking 28th in YPC allowed (4.6) and 21st in EPA/rush (-0.1)

STACKED’s take

Negative signalMatchup

Pollard's rushing-heavy game fits well against Browns' weak run defense despite their PPR ranking.

A home game against Cleveland lowers the ever-present blowout risk for Tennessee's offense, and Pollard's to-date usage implies 20-carry upside if the Titans were to ever play with a lead or rack up decent play volume. Cleveland's No. 2 ranking for PPR points allowed to RBs is from a lack of TDs (one) and receiving production (107 yards); the Browns rank 28th in YPC allowed (4.6) and 21st in EPA/rush (-0.1) against running backs. Pollard relies on rushing yardage over touchdowns or receptions for his fantasy production, which is less of a bad thing this week.
