The Tennessee Titans will face the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 17. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, especially regarding RB Tony Pollard.
Is Tony Pollard Playing in Week 17?
For the second consecutive week and the third time this season, Pollard did not practice all week due to his lingering ankle injury. He has yet to miss a game, including twice playing after not practicing all week. However, he has been ruled out with the flu ahead of Sunday’s game.
We’ll continue to monitor the Titans’ injury report. You can also visit and bookmark our NFL Injury Tracker and Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.
Tony Pollard’s Fantasy Outlook
Game flow was a mess last week after the Titans allowed the Colts to score 24 points in the second quarter, so I’m not exactly ready to say that this is a split backfield.
First Quarter, Week 16
- Tony Pollard: 73.3% of snaps, 4.2 points, five routes
- Tyjae Spears: 26.7% of snaps, 0.1 points, two routes
The Jaguars are the league’s worst yards-per-play defense, and that would have opened up the door for Pollard to find the form he had prior to the two recent duds.
I don’t think it would have been overly likely that Pollard would repeat the 23 touches he got in the first meeting with Jacksonville, but another close game that allows for enough usage to land him as a viable RB2 was very much a reasonable expectation.
