Tony Pollard remains the clear leadback for the Titans entering the 2026 season...Pollard will be lingering in the RB3 range in plenty of drafts, but I think he returns strong RB2 value and production this season.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Pollard's improved Titans offense and Daboll's RB-friendly scheme project strong RB2 value despite RB3 draft range.

Pollard remains the clear lead back for the Titans entering 2026 but finished as RB29 in fantasy points per game in 2025 due to offensive limitations (30th in points per game, 32nd in red zone scoring attempts, 49th in red zone touches). The source projects Pollard will return strong RB2 value and production in 2026, citing improved offensive context: new offensive coordinator Brian Daboll historically rides one running back, plus additions of Carnell Tate and Wan'Dale Robinson to the passing game, improved play from Cam Ward, and an offensive line that ranked 13th in yards before contact per attempt. Pollard's per-touch efficiency was solid in 2025 (25th in explosive run rate, 22nd in yards after contact among 49 qualifying backs).
