Titans | Tony Pollard not at Titans practice Wednesday Wed Oct 14, 12:28 PM
Titans RB Tony Pollard was not at practice on Wednesday. No reason for his absence was given. Pollard and RB Tyjae Spears split the running back snaps nearly evenly in Sunday's loss to the Texans.
| Footballguys view: Pollard has been missing practices during the week, only to show up on gameday and produce for the Titans. Pollard rushed 14 times for 52 yards in Tennessee's Week 5 loss to the Texans. In Week 6 against the Colts, we've got Pollard in the RB2/flex range. We'll see if he's moved before the trade deadline, as there are plenty of teams who could use a back like Pollard. |

Titans head coach Robert Saleh said on Sunday that QB Cam Ward is the team's quarterback this year. There is no thought of benching him. Saleh made the comments after Tennessee's 26-3 home loss to the Texans.

Tennessee Titans WR Carnell Tate caught 1 pass for 6 yards on 5 targets in Sunday's 26-3 loss to the Houston Texans. He was projected for 11.3 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 1.1.
| Footballguys view: Tate came into this game questionable with a back issue. Even though the Texans pass defense has been shredded by the likes of Josh Allen and Dak Prescott this season, Cam Ward was not up to matching their intensity in Week 5, so Tate was a bust. The Colts defense is up next. While they have had some breakdowns in coverage this season, Tate won't be a viable WR3/Flex play unless we see him get in a full practice and get off of the injury report next week. He's not an essential hold in short bench leagues. |

Titans WRs Carnell Tate and Calvin Ridley were the starting receivers for Sunday's Week 5 game against the Texans. Tate, a rookie, had been questionable with a back injury. Ridley opened the game with a catch and a move to shake a Texans linebacker for a 23-yard gain.

Titans rookie WR Carnell Tate (back) is "definitely trending" toward playing in Sunday's game against the Texans, per a source. Tate is listed as questionable after being limited in Thursday's practice. Head coach Robert Saleh said on Friday that Tate was "good to go" for Sunday.

Titans TE Gunnar Helm is good to go, head coach Robert Saleh said on Friday. Helm popped up on the injury report on Thursday with a knee issue and was limited in practice.
| Footballguys view: After a five-target game in Week 1, Helm has managed just five targets over the last three weeks. He's way off the fantasy radar in Week 5. |

Titans WR Carnell Tate is "good to go," head coach Robert Saleh said on Friday. Tate popped up on the injury report on Thursday with a back issue and was limited in practice. He's officially listed as questionable.
| Footballguys view: A midweek addition to the injury report is usually not good news, but it seems like a non-story for Tate. He's coming off the best game of his young career and should be started as a high-end WR3 this week against the Texans. He'll have a tough matchup against Derek Stingley Jr., but he's starting to show the upside that made him a top pick in this year's Draft. |

Titans RB Tony Pollard returned to practice on Thursday ahead of Sunday's game against the Texans. Pollard did not practice on Wednesday because of a foot injury.
| Footballguys view: Same as it ever was. Pollard has missed practices this year, but he suits up and plays through his various ailments. Ankle and now foot problems have bothered the veteran running back this year. Against the Texans on Sunday, we see Pollard as a low-end RB2/flex option. |

Tennessee Titans WR Carnell Tate caught 9 passes for 145 yards on 12 targets and lost 1 fumble in Sunday's 24-18 loss to the Baltimore Ravens. He was projected for 9.3 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 17.0.
| Footballguys view: Tate had another fumble that Tyjae Spears recovered, so ball security was an issue even though the #4 overall pick put up his first big WR1 stat line. He benefited from the Ravens being up big in the second half and playing passive on defense, eager to get this one over with once Lamar Jackson left with an ankle injury. Tate will draw the tough Houston pass defense next week, but he could still be worth a flex spot after CeeDee Lamb and the Cowboys broke their backs in the second half with four touchdowns in Week 4. |

Titans RB Tyjae Spears, listed as questionable with an ankle injury, is expected to play on Sunday against the Ravens, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported. Spears returned to full practice on Friday despite drawing the questionable designation.
Link to storyTyjae Spears player page
Titans RB Tyjae Spears (ankle) was a full participant in Friday's practice after being limited in an earlier session this week.
| Footballguys view: A full practice makes it almost certain that Spears will play this weekend. With Tony Pollard also expected to be active, touches will likely be split between the two backs. With how the Titans' offense has struggled to start this season, it's hard to rely on any running back as more than a desperation RB3. |
Tyjae Spears player page
Titans RB Tony Pollard (foot) practiced again on Friday and is good to go for Sunday's game at the Ravens. RB Tyjae Spears (ankle) also practiced Friday, and head coach Robert Saleh said he is heading in the right direction. S Kevin Winston Jr., added to the injury report Thursday with a shoulder injury, did not practice Friday; Saleh said Winston will be monitored: "Obviously we'll see how he feels." DT John Franklin-Myers (back) practiced again Friday and is good to go.
| Footballguys view: Pollard and Spears both opened the week as DNPs, but both running backs returned to practice on Thursday. Pollard's participation was listed as full, while Spears has been limited. The Titans have a tough matchup against the Ravens this week, but Pollard would be a decent volume-based RB2 if Spears can't go. If Spears is active, a split backfield in this matchup could be hard to predict, and both running backs would fall into the back-end RB4 tier. |

Titans RB Tony Pollard (foot) was upgraded to a full participant in practice on Thursday after he did not practice on Wednesday.
| Footballguys view: The "DNP" on Wednesday is in the past with a full practice on Thursday. Without any setbacks, Pollard is good for Week 4. We've got Pollard in the RB2/flex range for this week's contest against the Ravens on Sunday. |

Titans RBs Tony Pollard and Tyjae Spears will not practice on Wednesday. Spears limped off the field during Sunday's Week 3 loss at the Giants, and Pollard dealt with an ankle issue last week before avoiding an injury designation.
| Footballguys view: Both missed practice last week, but both played in Week 3. Spears seemed like he was a bit more banged up a week ago, then he left the Giants game. Circle back to see what Pollard does on Friday, and Fantasy GMs should plan on him being an RB3/flex option against the Ravens. For what it's worth, Titans HC Robert Saleh said he isn't concerned about either's injury status. |

Titans RB Tyjae Spears limped off the field during Sunday's game at the Giants after a completion by QB Cam Ward. He was able to return, however. Spears entered the game listed as questionable.
| Footballguys view: Tony Pollard ran the ball effectively in this game and should be the clear lead back against the Ravens next week with Spears ailing. He's a flex play in Week 4, and can serve as your RB2 in a pinch. |
Tyjae Spears player page
Titans RB Tyjae Spears is active for Sunday's Week 3 game against the Giants after being listed as questionable. CB Cor'Dale Flott, a former Giant who was also listed as questionable, is active as well. The Titans elevated RB Michael Carter on Saturday with Spears' status in doubt.

The Titans elevated RB Michael Carter from the practice squad for Sunday's game against the Giants, with RB Tyjae Spears (ankle) questionable. Carter is one of many former Giants and Jets players returning to MetLife Stadium, where a heavy ground attack is expected on both sides in bad weather.
| Footballguys view: Spears is not expected to play in Week 3 against the Giants, so Carter gets the elevation here. The Titans will use a lot of Tony Pollard, and we like him as an RB3/flex option in this matchup. Without Spears, rookie Nicholas Singleton should be the next man up to spell Pollard. With rain in the forecast, the Titans could go 'mudding' with that combination at running back. |

Titans RB Tyjae Spears (ankle) is questionable to play Sunday against the Giants.
| Footballguys view: After back-to-back DNPs to start the week, Spears returned on Friday in a limited capacity. Even if he is active, a split with Tony Pollard and Nicholas Singleton on a bad offense makes him a risky start. The best move with Spears this week is to keep him on your bench. |

Titans RB Tony Pollard (ankle) practiced on Thursday, September 24, after sitting out Wednesday's session, as Tennessee prepares for Sunday's game at the New York Giants. RB Tyjae Spears (ankle) was not spotted at practice on Thursday. TE Daniel Bellinger was also not spotted at practice, while CB Cor'Dale Flott (quad), who missed last Sunday's game, practiced again and said he thinks he is trending in the right direction.
| Footballguys view: Both Pollard and Spears missed Wednesday's practice, so at least Pollard is back out there on Thursday. While Spears may miss the game against the Giants (check back Friday to be sure), Pollard is trending in the right direction. Pollard is an RB3/deep flex play for Fantasy GMs in Week 3. |

The Titans' injury report from Wednesday's practice shows RB Tony Pollard (ankle) and RB Tyjae Spears (ankle) both did not practice ahead of Sunday's game at the New York Giants. CB Cor'Dale Flott (quad) and DT Solomon Thomas (knee) were limited, while G Fernando Carmona (shoulder) and LB James Williams Sr. (elbow) practiced in full. WR Wan'Dale Robinson, who has six catches for 47 yards through two games, said he expects the Titans passing game to 'start clicking even more as the run game has success' when he faces his former team, the Giants, on Sunday.
| Footballguys view: Well, this is not a great start to the week of practice. With both backs missing practice on Wednesday, rookie Nicholas Singleton could get a larger workload in Week 3. The Titans are on the road for an early Sunday game against the Giants. |

Titans WR Chimere Dike left Sunday's loss to the Jets to be checked for a concussion. He was cleared and returned.
| Footballguys view: Upon return, Dike tried to spin out of a tackle and took a hit, causing him to fumble. The Jets recovered. Dike, who played just four offensive snaps on Sunday, can't afford too many missteps. Meanwhile, we'll be watching for any reports that Dike has concussion symptoms after the game. |

Cam Ward completed 19 of 32 passes for 140 yards and a score and added 21 yards on four rushes. Tony Pollard ran for 35 yards on seven carries and turned two targets into one catch for -1 yards. Carnell Tate and Wan'Dale Robinson both got six targets and racked up 38 receiving yards, Tate on four catches and Robinson on five catches.
| Footballguys view: The Titans offense never seriously threatened the Jets defense, with the only touchdown coming to Elic Ayomanor in garbage time. The offensive line is one of the worst in the league, and the Titans face a much tougher matchup at Philadelphia next week, so don't expect things to get better in the short term. All of your Titans should be on the bench in Week 2. |

Link to storyTennessee Titans WR Carnell Tate has impressed with his large catch radius and consistent hands-catching ability. The Titans have started to move Tate across the formation rather than always having him on the ball.
| Footballguys view: Tate is probably going to have some highlight reel plays that make a splash in the box score, but the Titans offense is going to be inconsistent to open the season considering its offensive line woes and new system, along with Cam Ward's preseason struggles. Tate is going in the 6th/7th round close to similar weekly boom/bust propositions like Brian Thomas Jr. and Marvin Harrison Jr.. |
