The Titans bet on a ground-driven upgrade in 2025, with Cam Ward stepping in and a bolstered line around him. Pollard becomes the likely workhorse as Tennessee leans into a stronger rushing attack, even with Tyjae Spears sidelined early. ESPN pegs Pollard at 75-1 to lead the league in rushing, a sneaky value if he ramps snap share behind a revamped O-line. The reshaped blocking unit—Dan Moore Jr., Kevin Zeitler, and Cushenberry III returning—could unlock a more balanced, opponent-stressing Titans offense that previously game-planned around the run.

With Pollard handling a larger share and Ward guiding a more efficient passing attack, Pollard’s fantasy ceiling rises in both standard and points-per-reception formats. Tennessee’s offense should no longer be one-dimensional, making Pollard a high-upside target as the backfield anchor and a potential league-leader in rushing if he thrives on volume behind the upgraded line.

John John Analytics highlights six bold 2025 fantasy bets: A.J. Brown to top-5 PPR at WR in Philly’s more pass-friendly next year; Tony Pollard to smash his ADP as Tennessee’s lead back with improved line play; Bhayshul Tuten to seize a Jaguars backfield breakout with elite athleticism; Travis Hunter to outscore Brian Thomas Jr. as Liam Coen’s slot role drives rookie WR output; JJ McCarthy to finish top-5 at QB behind a stacked supporting cast; Trevor Lawrence to jump again as Coen’s system unlocks new ceiling.

Anthony Richardson's Colts future is in doubt as Indy benches him and rolls with Daniel Jones as QB1, creating a real Week 1 trade vibe. A last-minute Richardson move could fetch a slim Day-3 pick, per a Trey Lance–style precedent, keeping options open for both sides. The piece also cites Mac Jones, Justin Fields, and Kenny Pickett as real-world comps for late QB value swings. Fantasy takeaway: Richardson's ceiling remains sky-high, but his fate hinges on where he lands next and how quickly a new scheme can unlock his athletic genius.
