of tennessee titans are competing for draft position to conclude the 2024 NFL season, but there's a chance to play spoiler against them in Week 16. indianapolis colts. They will go into the game with a lively Tony Pollard, but his availability is uncertain due to an ankle injury.
Tony Pollard injury status
Pollard has been battling an ankle injury for the past two weeks. He was questionable a week ago after missing two practices, but he eventually played and ran for 45 yards and a touchdown. He aggravated the injury and missed most of the fourth quarter of the game. He missed all three practices this week and was listed as questionable on the final injury report.

Tony Pollard's Fantasy Football Impact
The 1 p.m. start means you'll know whether Pollard will be in your fantasy football lineup before the majority of the game begins. If he is active, the biggest concern is whether he will worsen the injury. We've seen plenty of examples where questionable players were active but left the game after a few snaps or didn't play at all.
If Pollard performs well, there are certainly positives against the Colts, but there are also plenty of negatives. If he's active and there aren't any comparable options, he's worth starting. But if you have a position that's nearly comparable to another running back (or any other position in a flex spot), the injury suggests considering alternatives.
If Pollard is inactive, Tejay Spears will start. He's off to a strong start in PPR leagues, leading the team with 87 receiving yards and a touchdown last week. In the Standard League, if he can play as a starter, he will be a strong option, albeit at a lower rank.
