Expert takes

Tony Pollard
  • “Among 45 qualifying backs, Pollard is 17th in explosive run rate and 14th in yards after contact per attempt. Pollard is only a volume-based flex this week that likely needs a touchdown to pay off for fantasy GMs. Houston has remained a top-tier run defense, allowing the seventh-lowest explosive run rate, the 13th-lowest rushing success rate, and the 11th-fewest yards after contact per attempt.”

    FantasyPros Staff· Oct 8, 2026
  • “Last week, Pollard was the RB16 for the week. He could flirt with low-end RB2 production this week, but is best viewed as a nice flex play. Baltimore has allowed the sixth-highest explosive run rate, the 13th-most yards before contact per attempt, and the seventh-highest gap rushing success rate (Pollard: 65.8% gap runs).”

    FantasyPros Staff· Oct 3, 2026
  • “Touchdowns will be difficult to come by for the Titans, but Pollard has some juice, and his workload puts him in the RB2 mix. In addition, Spears didn’t practice on Wednesday or Thursday, was limited on Friday and left the game early with an ankle injury but was able to return. Gamers in deep leagues or with deep benches should consider stashing Singleton, but Pollard is Tennessee’s most enticing fantasy option at any position.”

    Josh Shepardson· Sep 28, 2026

  • “Tony Pollard is dead to the fantasy world is basically forgotten, but at under 1% ownership I’ll take a few shots on a veteran back who can still get there on volume and TD equity. The biggest construction trap is probably K9 plus another popular RB, then using the same value WRs/TEs everyone else needs to make the salary work. I am fine combining two of these plays.”

    Chris Cash· Sep 26, 2026
  • “Let’s see who still qualifies… Here are the names: Justin Ford/Getty Images Tony Pollard , RB, Tennessee Titans Pollard is aiming to have a sixth consecutive season of over 1,000 scrimmage yards before hitting free agency. He has accomplished this with the Titans twice already, and the new coaching staff, including OC Brian Daboll, loves the running game. Daboll’s play-calling history shows nearly a 50% run rate in neutral game scripts.”

    Peter Kettering· Sep 10, 2026
  • “However, Tony Pollard was one of the better mid-round draft picks this year.”

    Mike Fanelli· Sep 10, 2026
  • “Tony Pollard has been an incredibly consistent running back for years now.”

    FantasyPros Staff· Sep 4, 2026
  • “and in the final year of his contract. Sure, Tony Pollard is 29 years old and approaching the age cliff, but he’s not there yet.”

    Kyle Zeigler· Sep 1, 2026
  • “Tony Pollard has run for 1,000+ yards in four straight seasons. He’s a consistent RB2, so adding more depth here is great, especially on a team that should be better with Brian Daboll as the offensive coordinator.”

    Richard Janvrin· Aug 29, 2026
  • “Pollard has shown that he is a capable RB, stringing together four consecutive 1,000-yard rushing seasons, and now he gets the easiest opening schedule at the position.”

    Colt Williams· Aug 26, 2026
  • “Tony Pollard has finished with 1,000+ rushing yards in four straight seasons.”

    Richard Janvrin· Aug 12, 2026
  • “Tony Pollard (RB – TEN) The Titans do have Tyjae Spears and also drafted Nicholas Singleton , but Tony Pollard has been consistent”

    Richard Janvrin· Aug 6, 2026
  • “1 | Diff: +2 Tony Pollard remains the clear leadback for the Titans entering the 2026 season.”

    FantasyPros Staff· Aug 5, 2026
Alec Pierce
  • “Alec Pierce ( who is on IR ), Darius Slayton and Ashton Dulin are all out for Week 5, and Keenan Allen is questionable with a groin injury.”

    Connor Byrne· Oct 10, 2026
  • “Pierce is a big part of this offense because his downfield ability opens up a lot of space, since it is predicated on the play-action pass. Teams have to respect Pierce's ability to win downfield. With Pierce on the field this season, Taylor has rushed 17 times for 92 yards (5.4 YPC).”

    Rich Hribar· Sep 30, 2026
  • “It is worth noting when Alec Pierce was not on the field, the team’s EPA per play dropped dramatically (-0.13) and the yards per carry from 5.53 to 3.50.”

    Kyle Borgognoni· Sep 21, 2026
See 12 more
  • “Alec Pierce would continue to operate as the intermediate-to-downfield threat, with Downs soaking up targets underneath, along with tight end Tyler Warren .”

    Evan Tarracciano· Aug 31, 2026
  • “Alec Pierce stepped up in 2025, and the Colts added Tyler Warren in the draft, providing Pittman with more target competition.”

    Josh Shepardson· Aug 31, 2026
  • “Alec Pierce has seen his ECR slip a bit as he has been slow to recover from offseason ankle surgery. Now ranked as a seventh round target as opposed to a fifth round target, Pierce could see his ECR fall further if there is a lack of positive news regarding his recovery development leading up to Labor Day.”

    Raju Byfield· Aug 23, 2026
  • “, and Alec Pierce is banged up. Jones is coming back from an Achilles injury.”

    Josh Shepardson· Aug 19, 2026
  • “Alec Pierce signed a massive $100+ million deal to be the No. 1 WR for the Colts. He caught just 47 passes last year, but went for over 1,000 yards. With Daniel Jones seemingly ready to go and Michael Pittman Jr. shipped out of town, Pierce is in for a big-time season once he’s healthy and on the field even with the addition of Keenan Allen.”

    Richard Janvrin· Aug 18, 2026
  • “There is a clear path where both Tucker Kraft and Alec Pierce lead their team in targets and receptions if they can stay healthy.”

    Kurt Blakeway· Aug 14, 2026
  • “Tyler Warren ’s rookie season and Alec Pierce ’s contract are reasons to believe that the Colts’ offense can continue to get better around Taylor, making his job much easier.”

    Jordan Pullett· Jul 29, 2026
  • “But what if I told you that Alec Pierce’s 2025 campaign was just his 2024 campaign, but on more targets? Pierce led the NFL in yards per reception in each of the last two seasons (22.3 in 2024, 21.3 in 2024), and his yards per target were identical .”

    Jeff Krisko· Jul 28, 2026
  • “Alec Pierce (WR – IND) Pierce is going as the WR32, 74th overall, not a bad range for a player who flashed real ceiling outcomes last year, but there’s real reason for caution. He’s working back from a foot injury and has indicated he might not be fully ready until September.”

    FantasyPros Staff· Jul 25, 2026
  • “Alec Pierce has sustained three recorded concussions, and his hype train is full steam following the news of his new contract. Pierce is almost two months older than Olave and was drafted the same year.”

    Peter Kettering· Jul 24, 2026
  • “Still, considering the money Pierce was given and his natural big-play ability, plus the departure of Pittman, Pierce could be a fantasy WR1 this season. He’s currently going off the board as the WR37 in PPR leagues.”

    Richard Janvrin· Jul 20, 2026
  • “Alec Pierce is a favorite draft target in the eighth round based on ADP.”

    Pat Fitzmaurice· Jul 8, 2026
