Tony Pollard

Scott Pianowski plays traffic cop to help you with start/sit fantasy football lineup decisions for Week 15.

Today snapped a streak of three straight four-catch performances for the rookie fourth-rounder. There just wasn't any volume in the Titans' passing attack with Tony Pollard going bonkers on the ground. Cam Ward completed 14 passes, generating 117 yards in the process. Helm has showed enough that he can be considered a potential future TE1 -- emphasis on "potential" -- but even TE2 status will be difficult to come by during the fantasy playoffs with Chig Okonkwo still successfully vying for looks down the seam.

Spears' 10 touches weren't a bad total for a No. 2 running back, but they came as Tony Pollard rushed 25 times for 161 yards and two touchdowns. Spears did out-target Pollard 4-0, but that of course did not amount to much. Back to strict No. 2/pass-catching status over the past few weeks after briefly pushing for a more even timeshare, Spears has lost all 12-team league FLEX appeal with bye weeks over and the fantasy playoffs here for Week 15.

Although he wasn't targeted in the passing game, Pollard's 161 yards on the ground were a new career high by 30. He had touchdowns of 65 and 32 yards to thank, with the 65-yarder featuring all manner of slipped tackles and mild field reversals. For the 32-yarder, he was barely touched after finding the seam. It is not an exaggeration to say Pollard provided the difference in what went down as only the second Titans victory of the season. Cam Ward completed just 14 throws for 117 yards, while Tyjae Spears was limited to 10 touches for 47 scoreless yards. Where this has been all year is anyone's guess, but Ward's scattershot passing means it will be unlikely to return for Week 15 against the 49ers. Pollard did at least go a long way toward shoring up his FLEX standing with bye weeks officially over and the fantasy playoffs finally here.

Pollard rushed 25 times for 161 yards and two touchdowns in the Titans' 31-29 win over the Browns on Sunday.
