Can Titans RB Tony Pollard rush for his 5th straight 1,000 yard season?
Tennessee Titans running back Tony Pollard has one of the most underrated active streaks in the NFL. He’s rushed for 1,000+ yards in four straight seasons. Only former Titans legend Derrick Henry has matched that productivity from 2022 onward. Pollard will attempt to rush for his fifth straight 1,000-yard season in 2026. The Titans have a new offensive coordinator in Brian Daboll. It’ll be interesting to monitor how the Titans utilize Pollard in the backfield, and what the offense’s pass-run split is. In fairness, Pollard has barely crossed the 1,000 yard mark in several of those seasons. Some of them included a concentrated effort in the regular-season finale to help ensure he gets his incentive pay. In all four of Pollard’s 1,000-yard seasons, he rushed for fewer than 1,100 yards, including outputs of 1,005 and 1,007. Pollard has been the Titans’ workhorse since signing a three-year contract in 2024. The Titans obviously feel better about Pollard and Tyjae Spears as their backfield tandem than fans thought they did. Jeremiyah Love was a popular mock-draft selection, but the team didn’t select a running back until getting Nicholas Singleton on Day Three . What’s interesting is that Daboll hasn’t had many 1,000-yard rushers as a coordinator. In four years as the Buffalo Bills ‘ coordinator, they did not have a single 1,000-yard rusher, though Pollard is more talented than Devin Singletary or Zach Moss were. In nearly four seasons as the New York Giants ‘ head coach, Saquon Barkley rushed for 1,000 yards just once, though an injury prevented him from doing it twice. Pollard may be the Titans’ workhorse again, especially because Spears has been injury prone in recent campaigns. If the offense leans on Ward’s gunslinging mentality, like Daboll’s Bills offense did with Josh Allen , then Pollard may have a difficult time keeping his 1,000-yard streak going

Nicholas Singleton a Rookie Sleeper in the Right Situation?
Tennessee Titans running back Nicholas Singleton was a fifth-round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, and while Day 3 running backs have rarely found fantasy success, there is enough working in his favor to make him a worthwhile pick in the later rounds of rookie drafts. Singleton catches the ball well and has a rare blend of size and athleticism. While that skill set did not always translate into breakaway runs or broken tackles, his college production was still impressive, despite sharing the backfield with Penn State's all-time leading rusher, Commanders' sixth-round pick Kaytron Allen. In Tennessee, Singleton's new running mates will be a 29-year-old Tony Pollard and fourth-year back Tyjae Spears, who has missed nine games over the past two seasons and watched his production drop year after year. Having broken a bone in his foot during the Senior Bowl, it's possible that a healthy Singleton could have gone earlier in the draft, but with him falling as far as he did, to a team with no other back besides Kalel Mullings under contract beyond this season, the potential exists for him to become one of the more valuable rookies to emerge from an underwhelming draft class

Titans OTAs: News & Notes from practice No. 9 (6/11): Cam Ward struggles
Cam Ward had an uneven practice, going 12-of-24 with no touchdowns and two sacks. Coach Saleh expressed confidence, but Ward needs to improve. The defense appeared to win the day, with Jacob Martin and Keldric Faulk generating pressure. Tony Pollard and Tyjae Spears are the clear bellcows at RB, making it tough for rookie Nicholas Singleton. Carnell Tate returned to practice after a minor injury, and Kevin Winston Jr. and Marcus Harris received praise from Saleh. Calvin Ridley returned to 7-on-7 drills, showing progress from his injury

Titans OTAs: News & Notes from practice No. 7 (6/8): Cam Ward to Carnell Tate again
The Tennessee Titans were on the practice field Monday afternoon. It was their seventh of 10 scheduled OTA practices, with the final session concluding on Friday. Thanks to local beat writers like Paul Kuharsky, Turron Davenport, and A to Z Sports, we’ve compiled some notable tidbits from Monday’s practice. Cam Ward hit Carnell Tate for a 50-yard touchdown, per Kuharsky . Poor cornerback Micah Robinson was in coverage, and he’s been routinely victimized by Tate throughout OTAs. Ward and his rookie receiver continue building chemistry at OTAs. Jermaine Johnson II and Mitch Trubisky reported to OTAs for the first time. Trubisky reportedly looked significantly better than Will Levis has, also per PK. That’s not surprising. They signed him to be an upgrade at backup quarterback. Johnson also made several plays at his first practice, per Davenport . He knocked down a Ward screen pass, and tracked down Tyjae Spears on the next play. The Titans traded for Johnson to reunite him with Robert Saleh, and they need him to be effective in 2026. Levis has now thrown four interceptions in three practices open to the media. He continues to be a rollercoaster of a performer. With Trubisky officially back at practice, the Titans should look to trade Levis this offseason . Calvin Ridley supposedly was moving around well. He continues to be absent from team periods as he’s working back from last year’s season-ending injury. The Titans need Ridley to be an effective receiver in 2026. Amani Hooker , Femi Oladejo, Jeffery Simmons , Cor’Dale Flott, and Dan Moore Jr. were allegedly absent from practice, per Davenport . In Oladejo’s case, he’s been spotted at past practices working on the side field. Reminder that OTAs are totally voluntary and attendance isn’t mandatory. Simmons often works out in Dallas during the offseason. It sounds like Flott, the team’s $45 million cornerback, isn’t there

Nicholas Singleton Could Be the Running Back of the Future in Tennessee
After a disappointing senior season at Penn State in 2025, running back Nicholas Singleton fell all the way to the fifth round of the 2026 NFL Draft before being selected by the Tennessee Titans. Across 12 games with the Nittany Lions last year, Singleton recorded just 768 scrimmage yards on 147 touches. Still, the 22-year-old scored 14 touchdowns, and he finished his collegiate career with an impressive 54 scores across 53 games. Singleton may struggle to see playing time in Tennessee as a rookie with veteran backs Tony Pollard and Tyjae Spears both ahead of him on the depth chart. However, both Pollard and Spears are entering the final years of their current contracts in 2026. If Singleton impresses his coaches this season, he could finish the year as the clear running back of the future for the Titans. Dynasty managers should temper their short-term expectations, but Singleton is still worth taking a shot on for his long-term upside in Tennessee

2026 Season Outlook
sleeper-outlook+1 story · 30dSource unavailable
Spears probably has one of the league's better dual-threat skillsets, offering elusive rushing ability along with the pass-catching prowess necessary to rapidly draw targets. Spears doesn't run with much power, however, at around 195 pounds, and he lacks the top speed to regularly break off long gains in the NFL the way he did at Tulane. With few easy touchdowns and not many big plays to provide quick points, Spears' fantasy utility is dependent on his reception count, which isn't always easily arranged as the backup to Tony Pollard. The bigger issue yet is arguably his durability -- Spears suffered a high-ankle sprain Aug. 9 that kept him out all the way until Week 5 of the regular season last year, and the concern is greater yet for his concussion history (two in 2024) and his troublesome knee. As a complementary threat off the bench, Spears should continue to be useful for the Titans, but fantasy investors should understand that even a Pollard injury wouldn't necessarily lead to Spears getting 15-plus touches per week
