Video: Arguing Inputs (Week 8)
the inputs for Tony Pollard would not have needed to change that much based on what actually happened. Michael Carter kind of just played um I he he basically just kind of played like Michael Carter was Tajae Spears, right? And Tony Pollard just ran really really hot in that game against the Browns... But 65% of the rushes like 8% target share.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalUsage

65% rushing share, 8% target share; legitimate bell cow when healthy.

Pollard ran hot against the Browns last week with 65% of rushing attempts and an 8% target share; the inputs for his projection would not need significant adjustment. Assuming Tajae Spears does not play, expect residual chalk from his strong performance, as Michael Carter essentially filled the Spears role rather than cutting into Pollard's workload. He has been a legitimate bell cow all season long when Singleton is inactive, though being the lead back on the Titans still limits ceiling. The Titans ran the ball more than any other week this season (30 carries total, 25 to Pollard), but Pollard's percentage-based opportunity share remained consistent.
