Tony Pollard
vs Makai Lemon

“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.”

“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.”

“However, Tony Pollard was one of the better mid-round draft picks this year.”

“Tony Pollard has been an incredibly consistent running back for years now.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“Tony Pollard has finished with 1,000+ rushing yards in four straight seasons.”

“Tony Pollard (RB – TEN) The Titans do have Tyjae Spears and also drafted Nicholas Singleton , but Tony Pollard has been consistent”

“1 | Diff: +2 Tony Pollard remains the clear leadback for the Titans entering the 2026 season.”

“: 49% Rostered Next Opponents : LAR, @JAX, CAR True Value : $3 Desperate Need : $5 Budget-Minded : $1 Analysis: In leagues where Makai Lemon remains unrostered, this might be a final buying opportunity. Howie Roseman, widely regarded as one of the best GMs in the league, traded up to select Lemon with the 20th overall pick in this year’s draft. Lemon was superb in his final season at USC, finishing with 79 catches for 1,156 yards and 11 touchdowns to earn the Fred Biletnikoff Award as the finest receiver in the country.”

“Makai Lemon Despite poor box-score production, Makai Lemon earned a 65% snap share and ran 31 routes across all three field levels. Jason’s film review revealed Lemon routinely created separation, attributing his low stats to Jalen Hurts missing open reads. Betz cited his contested-catch ability as a bright indicator for long-term WR viability.”

“Do you think Makai Lemon is a good trade target with the Dallas Goedert injury? Trading for Makai Lemon isn’t a bad move. The rookie could see an uptick in targets with Dallas Goedert missing a few weeks with a knee injury.”

“Makai Lemon Plays Outside The Eagles rested most of their offensive starters in their last preseason game but played rookie WR Makai Lemon , since Lemon has been sidelined by a hamstring injury.”

“Makai Lemon’s ECR has only dropped three slots since the end of last month, but his ADP has bottomed out. Going on average as the 96th player off the board less than a month ago, Lemon is now lasting until 200th overall.”

“Makai Lemon (WR – PHI) Going as a late 10th-round pick, Lemon’s price has been pushed down further by a hamstring injury, creating real value given his talent level.”

“Makai Lemon enters the NFL with elite collegiate production and first-round draft capital after the Eagles aggressively traded up to secure the former USC standout. Lemon offers inside-outside versatility and was one of the most efficient perimeter receivers in college football despite being viewed by some as slot-only.”

“Lemon has been dealing with a hamstring injury, so he may not be an immediate impact for fantasy rosters, but there is plenty of opportunity in the Philadelphia passing game for him to play a factor further into the season.”

“Philadelphia managed to acquire Lemon with the 20 th overall selection, trading UP to grab the former USC standout as the third receiver off the board in April. To put things succinctly, Lemon is a perfect fit for Philadelphia, which desperately needed to fill the gaping hole that A.J. Brown left when he was traded to New England.”

“At worst, Lemon will make modest contributions as a rookie. At best, he’s a star from the get-go.”

“But his ADP is on the rise while rookie WR Makai Lemon is still hanging out under the radar. He is being taken in the mid-to-late seventh round as a first-round WR with a world of opportunity.”

“With A.J. Brown headed to New England, Lemon is stepping into the WR2 role right away for Philly. He’s a savvy slot receiver who plays bigger than his size suggests, and is a tremendous threat after the catch.”
