OC Nick Holz: Feels like RB Tony Pollard is in a good place heading into the season, but we'll have to get other backs in the mix, whether it's Julius Chestnut or Kalel Mullings.

Spears is dealing with an injury and is on IR, missing the first four games of the season. While Pollard should get a nice workload, the team will get other backs involved like Chestnut and Mullings. Those two, however, aren't exactly household names which is why Pollard should be a nice start in fantasy lineups. Last year when Spears was out, Pollard's touches went from 16.4 per game to 24.2, so owners should expect an uptick at least until Spears is back.

Sources: Titans RB Tyjae Spears, who suffered a high ankle sprain earlier this month and was spotted in a walking boot this weekend, is being placed on injured reserve.

Spears will now miss the first four games of the season. It should mean more touches for Pollard. As our own John Paulsen points out, Pollard’s workload increased from 16.4 touches per game with Spears to 24.2 touches in the five games that Spears missed last season.
