When we're looking at Pard, he is coming off a week in which he just scored, I want to say, a total of 36 fantasy points...The last time you've had Tony Pard crack 30 fantasy points in a game was 2022. Week 11. That is what a total of five seasons ago...Tony Pard has hit 25 points twice...Tony Pard is still a not special running back...Spears going down led Tony Pard from averaging about 50 snaps per game in the first five weeks this season to over 75% of the snaps...the usage will be worse when you get Spears back in
STACKED’s take
Sell-high after 36-point outlier; limited ceiling with snap regression when Spears returns.
Deandre Whip cautions against buying into Tony Pollard after his 36-point performance; Pollard was drafted in 2019 (same class as AJ Brown and Debo Samuel) and has not cracked 30 fantasy points in a game since 2022 Week 11—a span of five seasons. Over the past four years, Pollard has hit 25 points only twice, indicating his ceiling is severely limited and this performance is a rare outlier. As a Tennessee Titan, Pollard has shown no special receiving work or upside in a garbage offense with 17% win probability vs. Cincinnati. His snap count surge from ~50 to 75%+ was entirely dependent on Tajae Spears' injury; usage will regress significantly upon Spears' return. Pollard should be used primarily as a throw-in piece to upgrade to higher-tier receivers like Drake London, Crystal Laporte, or Justin Jefferson.
