Video: NFL Week 8 Fantasy Football Takeaways: Tony Pollard, Ashton Jeanty, Jonah Coleman and More
Tony Pollard out here, guys. 117 yards on the ground, 20 more receiving, two more touchdowns for good measure. In weeks 1 through 6, guys, he had 51.3 PPR points. In his last two games, he now has 65.2... only Joe Burrow among any position actually have more fantasy points than Tony Pollard... his burst seems more like kind of pre-2023 that Cowboy Pollard... Handled 80% of the snaps today... the boom he's had is not because Spears is out. The boom he's had is because he's playing better.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalBreakout

65.2 PPR in last two games; 80% snaps, 88% carries; sell-high candidate

Pollard is in the midst of a clear breakout: 117 rushing yards, 20 receiving yards, and 2 TDs in Week 8, with 36.5 and 28.7 fantasy points over his last two games (65.2 PPR total vs. 51.3 in weeks 1–6). Only Joe Burrow has more fantasy points than Pollard across all positions in that span. He handled 80% of snaps and received 88% of carry attempts (21 carries) in Week 8. His burst looks like pre-2023 Cowboys Pollard, and critically, his boom is not due to Tajae Spears' injury but because he's playing better and the Titans' offensive line is improving weekly. Running backs can succeed when getting 20+ opportunities per game, which Pollard is now receiving. However, Ian Hartitz expresses willingness to sell high on Pollard despite recent production, citing concerns about the Titans' long-term offensive environment and sustainability; he does not believe Pollard will maintain 25+ PPR per game going forward and would trade him for Chase Brown if given the opportunity.
