The Titans are giving former Cowboys RB Tony Pollard a 3-year deal worth $24M.

Pollard had moderate success when taking over the Cowboys backfield last season, but that was heavily influenced by volume. Pollard should be considered a top-30 option heading into 2024, while Tyjae Spears should be in very heavy consideration as a late-round option as his ADP dips following the signing.

Tennessee running back Derrick Henry said he is pondering his future after a frustrating 19-16 loss to the Houston Texans on Sunday that officially eliminated the Titans from playoff contention.

"Yeah, definitely today you had that feeling [that it could be the end of my career with the Titans]," said Henry, who is normally one to stay in the moment. "I had hope of kind of slipping in there [the playoffs], and then being eliminated with three games left. I've been here my whole career. Definitely wanted to go out strong, which that isn't the case."

The Titans will make a decision regarding the 29-year-old Henry, who is set to become a free agent after the four-year, $50 million contract he signed in 2020 runs out after this season. Tennessee is projected to have $91.8 million in cap space this offseason, so signing Henry is a possibility, the story went on to say. However, rookie Spears' 410 snaps are just one fewer than Henry this season the story also pointed out. With the playoffs out of reach, the Tians could opt to give Spears more looks going forward the rest of the season, which is something fantasy owners of both players will want to consider.

Titans coach Mike Vrabel clarifies that RB Derrick Henry is not in the concussion protocol.

Earlier today we reported from Adam Schefter that Henry was in protocol, but that turns out not to be the case. As Rapoport's post went on to say, this news puts Henry on track to play this week. It's a Monday night game against the Dolphins so owners will want to continue to monitor the situation. If for some reason Spears is still on your wire, he's still worth grabbing, especially if you're a Henry owner.

Titans’ RB Derrick Henry, who left Sunday’s game in the fourth quarter to be checked for a concussion, is in concussion protocol.

That will leave his status for this week's game in Miami in doubt. The trend this year is players tend to miss a week after entering protocol, but it isn't always the case. If Henry has to miss the game, Spears would seem to be a solid replacement option. He could benefit in the passing game if the Titans fall behind against a powerful Dolphin offense. Spears had 20 touches against the Colts, including 16 carries and four receptions.

What has changed: Tyjae Spears has served notice: He is the most talented running back acquired by the Titans since they drafted Derrick Henry in the second round in 2016. He’s going to matter this season.

I thought Jonathan Ward would make this team as the No. 2 third-down back, with Julius Chestnut essentially backing up Henry. But Ward hurt his knee in the preseason opener and, though Hassan Haskins is also nicked up now, he and Chestnut do enough on special teams to both make the team.

The story went on to say: Chestnut was the star Saturday with 98 yards rushing and a touchdown rushing and receiving. His TD catch was excellent, and everyone should listen to Vrabel when he says Chestnut, “embodies what we believe in.” It seems like a crowded backfield behind Henry, but it sounds like Spears could have a role in the offense with, perhaps, Chestnut an injury away from a significant role.
