“You just see this progression and you see a little bit more of him becoming who he knew he would be,” Taylor said. “And, again, I think he’s a long way from where he’s gonna be in two weeks, let alone 18 weeks from now.” Thomas has continued to draw big reviews out of training camp for Jacksonville. He figures to open the season as the primary deep threat for Trevor Lawrence.

Tyjae Spears, Tony Pollard both viewed as starters by HC Brian Callahan
Titans coach Brian Callahan said Tony Pollard and Tyjae Spears are “both starting players to [him].”

Fantasy Impact

With the departure of Derrick Henry, the Titans brought in Pollard this offseason to pair with Spears in their backfield. It is possible we see both Pollard and Spears on the field at the same time in certain reps. Pollard seems to be the 1A heading into the season, but it seems like it may be more of a hot-hand approach based on who is producing better week-to-week.
