Tennessee Titans RB Tony Pollard carried 21 times for 117 yards with two touchdowns and caught three of five targets for 20 yards in a Week 8 OT loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. He did fumble once.

Why It Matters: Pollard is rewarding fantasy managers the last two weeks. He ran for 129 yards and three touchdowns last week against Cleveland. Pollard has carried the ball at least 14 times and gained at least 50 yards in each of the last seven games, and he now has six TDs for the season in what has been a dreadful offense. A RB3/Flex option due to the Titans’ anemic offense, Pollard’s status could improve as the offense starts to roll with 36, 24 and 26 points in the last three weeks. A change of scenery - his name has been very
popular in trade talks - might also help his cause. Look for his hot streak to come to an end - assuming he is still a Titan after the team's Week 9 bye - against the Jaguars in Week 10.
