Tony Pollard
RB
Tennessee Titans▲ Hot
- Teammate Carnell Tate (a top target) is out, so Pollard may see more targets.
A hurt top target or lead back nudges the projection up a little, since their work tends to shift to teammates. QB and offensive-line flags are shown for context but do not change the number.
This is how RBs have played against the Jaguars in the 2026 season.
RB1 = the highest-scoring RB against Jaguars in each game, not a fixed depth-chart spot.

How Tony Pollard should do vs the JaguarsSeason log, the group you pick, and a projection
Season so far, compared with what the group you pick below has done against the Jaguars, plus a projection for this game.
What is this table?
Rows at the top are every game Tony Pollard has played this season, using the same stat columns as the table above.
Compare against picks which group of Jaguars opponents to line them up with: the best RB they faced in each game (1), the second best (2), the third best (3), or all of the top three. Nobody knows which slot Tony Pollard will land in this week, so this is your call, not a guess.
Jaguars avg is the average line of that group. Difference is that minus Tony Pollard's own average: green means the defense gives that slot more than Tony Pollard usually produces.
Projected is Tony Pollard's recent-weighted average scaled by how generous the Jaguars were to the slot you picked. Change the slot and the projected points change, because each slot has a different matchup adjustment. Picking Top 3 uses the usual-role projection.

Difference is what the defense allows minus what Pollard averages (green = defense gives up more). Projected stats scale the player's averages by the matchup adjustment, so they are a rough guide.
Start / Sit · Tony PollardGood confidence · 13.5 proj pts7/10 start
- Tony Pollard averages 14.6 PPR points over 8 games (recent-weighted 18.8) and has played as the team's RB1.
- The Jaguars have allowed 10.7 points to RB1s over 7 games (-34% vs league). The model applies 70% of that gap because the sample is small, giving a -24% adjustment.
- Last season's average (10.9) is blended in at 20% weight because this season's sample is small.
- Game environment +0%: Mild weather (51F, 5 mph wind): no weather adjustment.
- Opposing-defense injuries (+2%): Opposing starter DaVon Hamilton (DL) is on IR, which helps the passing game. Opposing starter DaVon Hamilton (DL) is on IR, which helps the running game.
- Teammate injuries (+1%): Teammate Carnell Tate (a top target) is out, which can mean extra looks for Pollard.
- Projection: 13.5 points.
- For reference, a typical weekly starter-level RB scores about 13.1 and a top-tier one about 20.9.

Prediction & chance to scoreTony Pollard vs the Jaguars
Prediction for Tony Pollard
Nobody knows which slot Tony Pollard will land in this week, so pick the one you expect. The projection changes because each slot faces a different average from the Jaguars.
I predict about 13.1 points for Tony Pollard if playing as a RB1. Tony Pollard has averaged 14.6 over 8 games, and the Jaguars have given up 10.7 to RB1s (-34% vs the league average of 16.1).
How this projection is built
1. The player. Tony Pollard scored: Wk 1 4.4, Wk 2 7.5, Wk 3 13.6, Wk 4 13.0, Wk 5 5.2, Wk 6 7.6, Wk 7 36.5, Wk 8 28.7. Average 14.6; weighted toward recent games it is 17.2.
2. The defense. Over 7 games, the Jaguars allowed 10.7 points to their opponent's RB1. The league average for that slot is 16.1, so that is -34%.
3. Trusting small samples less. With 7 defensive games, only 70% of the gap is applied, capped at +/-30%. That gives a -24% adjustment (x0.76).
4. Result. 17.2 x 0.76 = 13.1. Switching slots only changes step 2 and 3: the player's own numbers stay the same, but each slot faces a different defensive average.
It is a statistical model, not knowledge of injuries, game script or weather.
Chance to score
Type a point total to see how likely Tony Pollard is to reach it as a RB1.
Why this percentage?
The projection (13.1) is the middle of the range. Fantasy scores swing a lot from game to game, so the model spreads possible scores around it by about 11.8 points, leaning on Tony Pollard's own game-to-game swings once there are several games (and on typical RB swings before that).
Scores are modelled as right-skewed, since a big game is possible but a very negative one is not. The percentage is the share of that spread at or above 13.
With only 8 games of history, treat this as a rough gauge. It gets sharper as the season goes on. It is never lower than 1% or higher than 99%.
InsightsPlain-English takeaways from the table
- RB1s have averaged 8.1 carries, 25.1 rushing yards and 3.6 receptions against the Jaguars across 7 games.
- The Jaguars allow 10.7 PPR points to RB1s, -34% versus the league average of 16.1 (ranked 32 of 32, where 1 is most generous). That is a tough matchup.
- Outlier: Week 4, Chase Brown (19.1 pts) sits far above the other games and pulls the averages up. Average with it vs without it: pts 10.7 vs 9.3. The table above keeps the raw averages.
- 3 of 7 games reached 10+ PPR points. Scores range from 6.7 to 19.1 (median 8.3).
- RB1s scored a touchdown in 3 of 7 games (43%).
