From the article

Tony Pollard is off to a predictably pedestrian start to the 2026 season, averaging just 8.7 fantasy points per game. The veteran back's role has been as expected. He has handled 70% of Tennessee's called runs and 8% of the targets while splitting backfield snaps near evenly with Tyjae Spears.

Pollard's rushing volume and favorable matchup make him a viable RB2 despite weak receiving production.

Pollard is off to a pedestrian start to the 2026 season, averaging just 8.7 fantasy points per game. He has handled 70% of Tennessee's called runs and 8% of the targets while splitting backfield snaps near evenly with Tyjae Spears. He has been a bit unlucky in the TD department with only one score despite an expected total (3.5) that ranks in the top 20 at the position. His minimal receiving production (24 yards on 11 targets) is a problem, but solid rushing volume and a good matchup—the Colts have allowed the third-most yards and sixth-most fantasy points to RBs—position him as a palatable RB2 option in Week 6 with four teams on a bye.
