After being one of the league's most exciting, dynamic backs in 2022, Tony Pollard was a staple of the 1-2 turn in drafts last season. Like many of the early-round selections last year, Pollard was rather disappointing. He seemingly lost his burst and took a step back in nearly every relevant efficiency metric.
Pollard's struggles may have been largely due to tightrope surgery that he underwent after the 2022 season. If this was the culprit, Pollard is a prime bounce-back candidate in 2024.
Like Spears, Pollard's fantasy value will be driven by the degree to which this backfield is split. But if he can return to his 2022 form (RB10), he has demonstrated a skill set that would allow him to produce with limited opportunities.

Tony Pollard misses practice all week, Questionable Ankle injury By: Mike Krueger | Fri Dec 20, 2:50 pm

FFToday's Take: Pollard injured his ankle in Week 15, missed practice all week and has been listed as Questionable for Week 16 against the Colts. We should get more clarification over the weekend on his status, but if he sits, Tyjae Spears would leap into RB2 territory against a Colts defense that's given up the 6th most fantasy points to running backs.
| Tyjae Spears set to miss some games Hamstring injury in Week 6 By: Doug Orth | Mon Oct 14, 3:20 pm

FFToday's Take: It is unfortunate timing for Spears and his fantasy managers given the fact Tennessee just came off a bye week, but it does open things up for Tony Pollard to become a true featured back over the next week or so. Pollard was already playing at a RB1 level, so his stock gets a slight boost with this news. Julius Chestnut theoretically becomes Pollard's handcuff in the interim.
