Tony Pollard

Pollard didn't practice any this week (ankle). He has been listed as questionable and is expected to play this week. We could see Pollard limited some this week and not in his customary workload as the team's workhorse. It's also possible that he does see his usual stranglehold on touches. The Titans have had no issues managing his practice load during the week and loading him up with touches during the weekend. The fact that he aggravated this injury in last week's game leads me to believe it's more likely a split backfield and looks close to how the work was divided up in Week 10. In that game, Pollard had 13 touches and 63 total yards while playing 53% of the snaps. He handled 56% of the rushing play snaps and 52% of the passing down snaps, and he and Tyjae Spears split the red zone snaps 50/50. Pollard should be projected for 12-15 touches this week, with some upside for more. Since Week 10, Indy has allowed the tenth-most rushing yards per game, the highest explosive run rate, and the tenth-highest missed tackle rate.
