Tennessee Titans RB Tony Pollard delivered another explosive effort in Week 8, racking up 117 yards and two touchdowns on 21 carries, plus three catches for 20 yards. This monster performance came even as the Titans lost in overtime to the Cincinnati Bengals, a game where Pollard did fumble once.
He’s On Fire Despite the Chaos
Pollard isn’t just showing up, he’s straight up rewarding fantasy managers with his back-to-back monster weeks. Last week against Cleveland, he dropped 129 yards and three scores! This guy has been consistent too, hitting at least 14 carries and 50 yards in each of his last seven games. Six touchdowns for the season, that’s what we’re talking about, even when the Titans’ offense has been called “dreadful” for most of it.
Trade Talks Are Getting Loud
Yeah, the Titans offense has been anemic, no sugarcoating it. But they’ve put up 36, 24, and 26 points in the last three weeks, so maybe, just maybe, things are starting to roll a little? That could definitely help Pollard improve from his current RB3/Flex status. But honestly, the bigger buzz around him is all about a “change of scenery.” His name is super popular in trade talks, and let’s be real, a new team could absolutely launch him into another stratosphere.
So what’s next for this dude? His hot streak is probably gonna hit a wall against the Jaguars in Week 10. That’s assuming he’s even still a Titan after their Week 9 bye, because those trade talks aren’t dying down. All eyes are on what happens next for Pollard, because this level of play can’t be ignored.
