FantasyPros Articles on Tony Pollard
From the article
Brian Daboll has a long history of utilizing one workhorse back in his offenses, so I'm still projecting Tony Pollard to be that guy... Pollard is hopefully a volume play with RB2 upside in Week 1.
STACKED’s take
Pollard should be Titans' workhorse under Daboll; strong Jets defense limits upside but volume supports RB2 floor.
Derek Brown projects Pollard to be the Titans' workhorse back despite preseason usage concerns, citing Brian Daboll's long history of utilizing one lead back in his offenses. Last year, Pollard ranked 15th in snap share, 17th in opportunity share, and 16th in weighted opportunities, but finished as the RB29 in fantasy points per game due to poor offensive circumstances (30th in points per game, 32nd in red zone scoring attempts, 49th in red zone touches). On a per-touch basis, he ranked 25th in explosive run rate and 22nd in yards after contact per attempt. The Jets added defensive firepower to their defensive line and linebacker room, and their run defense was already strong last year (sixth-lowest rushing success rate, sixth-fewest yards before contact per attempt, tenth-highest hit rate at or behind the line of scrimmage). Brown projects Pollard as a volume play with RB2 upside in Week 1.
