Should You Start or Sit Tony Pollard in Week 2?
The 29-yard catch was good to see.
There you go, all of the optimism that was garnered from the Titans in Week 1.
Taking a rookie quarterback into Denver on a team short of proven playmakers was always going to be a tough sell, and it went to script. That 29-yard grab? It was enough for Pollard to lead the Titans in receiving for the week.
No, not the longest single catch. The leading receiver. As in, no one on this team had 30 receiving yards.
As expected, with Tyjae Spears sidelined, Pollard carried the mail (90% of RB carries), and as expected, he had very little room to run (long run: nine yards).
Yards Per Carry Before Contact:
- 2021: 1.92 yards
- 2022: 1.40 yards
- 2023: 1.07 yards
- 2024: 0.75 yards
- Week 1: 0.33 yards
The Rams were impressive against the Texans last weekend, and while I’m still sorting out if that was more of a good Los Angeles performance or an indictment of Houston’s offensive line, it happened. They project as a tough matchup, and that should have you trending off of Pollard if at all possible this weekend (my RB27, behind J.K. Dobbins and Bill Crosky-Merritt).
If Cam Ward develops on the fly, maybe pieces of this offense grab my attention by midseason. Until then, I’m perfectly fine with not starting anyone on this roster in standard-sized leagues.
