[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

Tennessee Titans RB Tony Pollard has been impressive since exploding onto the scene in 2022 when he rushed for 1,007 yards in his 3rd NFL season. Pollard joined the Titans this offseason after 5 campaigns with the Dallas Cowboys, who made him the 128th overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft. Below, we look at Tony Pollard’s 2024 fantasy football average draft position (ADP) and where you should draft him.

Pollard has rushed for 1,000-plus yards in 2 straight seasons and was a Pro Bowler in 2022. The Memphis product is expected to take a big step in his development as he is projected to be the main contributor in the Titans offense. Pollard could be a top-10 fantasy running back this upcoming season. The versatile running back is intriguing in terms of fantasy value.

Where should you draft Pollard?

Pollard’s fantasy value should get a boost given he’s going to be the main weapon in the Titans offense. The question regarding his potential production is: How good will the Titans be at sustaining drives?

Pollard has shown he can be productive, running for more than 5 yards per attempt in 3 of his 5 NFL seasons. He also can be used as a receiving threat, having totaled 39 or more catches in his last 3 seasons. However, Titans QB Will Levis completed less than 60% of his attempts last season. Much of Pollard’s value may hang on Levis’ shoulders.

Pollard should be the main running back option and could see a sizable amount of the targets as well. He’s capable of producing 1,100 rushing yards and numerous scores while also being a strong receiving weapon. Pollard should be a high-usage player and has the upside to be a top-10 fantasy RB this season.

Draft Pollard slightly higher than his ADP given his potential workout in the offense. If the Titans offense can figure things out, he could see north of 1,000 rushing yards with 50 receptions and 8 or more touchdowns as well. That potential is worth targeting, especially in PPR formats. The last 6th to late 7th round should be the hot spot for Pollard.
