Tennessee played starters in its final preseason game Sunday afternoon. That included RB Tony Pollard taking the field first and manning the position throughout the opening drive. But Tyjae Spears took over for the second drive, with other starters still in the game. Pollard returned for a 4th-and-1 play on that drive, then Spears played a series with second-teamers before ending his day.
Tennessee's backfield has ranked among the more interesting all offseason, following the Pollard signing. HC Brian Callahan has referred to Pollard and Spears as "interchangeable" on more than one occasion, and this usage seems to back that up.
If the two continue alternating drives as they did in the final exhibition, then we could get a situation similar to how Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery operated late last season.
Of course, in the Titans' case the two players present more similar skill sets.
We've had Pollard a little ahead of Spears in our RB rankings all along, and that sounds like the proper way to treat them.
There's room for both players to have some standalone value in PPR leagues. It'll likely take an injury to one for the either to realize difference-making upside.
And both figure to have more trouble making a fantasy impact the more your format limits reception scoring. We're not betting on either player becoming a TD demon.
Both Titans RBs have settled in as values by our ADP Market Index, which compares player ADP with our projections for the format to highlight the biggest draft values.
