Hello and welcome to the PFF fantasy podcast. I'm your host Nathan Yaki. We just had a full week of preseason games. I know a lot of backups played in those games, but there were a couple of games where the starters played so I do have a number of takeaways and I will be going over the top ones right now and we will start with the Tennessee Titans where at running back we saw

Tony Pollard take all 10 snaps on the first drive with the starters, which was pretty alarming for anyone who is trusting in Tagee Spears having a significant role this season.

Then we saw Spears take seven of the

snaps on the second drive with the starter still in the game and then Spears

came back in with the backups for just three plays, was the primary

runner slash target on all three of them and then he was done for the preseason and I in general was not that alarm for about the Titans back field in this one a lot of teams end up having their starting running back on the first drive a backup running back on another drive and they are not rotating their running backs how they usually see them in the regular season.

This is pretty typical for most preseason teams.

We even saw in the first week of the preseason,

the Titans do more or less what we do expect in the season

and that's the two of them rotating in and out every couple of plays with Pollard ending up with more snaps and rushing situations.

Spears playing more in passing situations. Some people were also concerned about the fact that

Pollard did take one snap on Spears Drive. It was a fourth in one play where it was a

bit of a unique play. It was an unbalanced line where a tackle was lined up on next to the other tackle, two tight ends lined up, one of them where the tackle usually lines up a pretty specific play that I would not be surprised

if the Titans have only practiced a little bit and maybe it was just Pollard who has

practiced that play before if it was more of a typical play,

a run down the middle, outside zone,

whatever it may be where these running backs

have run those plays hundreds of times in their career, then I would have been a little bit more

alarming, but even then I expect Pollard to take more of the short-yarded situations.

We just saw Spears, the play before on third and one take a short yard

situation so it seemed pretty clear that the running backs were just

getting more experience and all of the kind of plays not just the plays that we
