From the article

Spears' first game was in Week 5. From then onward, he logged a 46 percent snap rate compared to 54 percent for Pollard. The good news is that Spears largely ate up low-calorie snaps and Pollard wound up averaging more points per game with Spears active. I don't think the preseason usage is much of an issue for Pollard.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalValue

Pollard's preseason snap share shouldn't concern fantasy managers despite Spears competition.

Preseason usage concerns are overblown; when Spears was healthy in 2025 (Week 5 onward), Pollard logged 54 percent snap rate versus Spears' 46 percent, and Pollard averaged more points per game despite Spears eating low-calorie snaps. The source says preseason usage is not much of an issue for Pollard's fantasy outlook.
