When playing with Cam Ward in the preseason, the backfield has been very split, with Pollard being the projected early-down back and Spears being involved more than in years past. Snaps: Tyjae Spears 59%, Tony Pollard 42%. Routes: Spears 50%, Pollard 31%.

Pollard's bellcow role eroding; Spears getting significant snap and route share.

Brian Daboll's committee backfield approach in Tennessee is reducing Pollard's bellcow status. Through two preseason games with Cam Ward, Tyjae Spears has 59% snap share and 50% route share versus Pollard's 42% snaps and 31% routes. Pollard needed high volume to stay relevant on a struggling team, making the shift to a 1A role a real concern for his fantasy relevance.
