CBS fantasy analyst Ross Kelly listed Tennessee Titans running back Tony Pollard as a sleeper candidate heading into the 2026 season. Pollard, who has rushed for over 1,000 yards for four consecutive seasons, is expected to play a key role in the Titans' offense under new head coach Robert Saleh. Despite Tennessee's struggles last year and Pollard's age nearing 30, his late 2025 performance showed promise, averaging 100 yards per game in the final weeks. Pollard is currently being drafted around pick No. 70, which reflects perceptions of the Titans, who have not significantly revamped their running back lineup.
