RB options are dried up in nearly every league I’m in (Bam Knight & Sean Tucker are the best available options).

Brutal situation given all the RB upheaval we’re currently dealing with.

Swept the Week 7 Waiver Wire to account for today's news.

Not a sexy pool of players (if Vidal was picked up last week) so much as a necessary one to continue jostling for the best ROS values.

If only McDermott knew someone in charge of the team he could’ve talked to *during* the game about Cook’s usage.

Pollard’s name is lowkey coming up among NFL beat writers whenever discussions turn to which teams are looking to trade for a RB by the deadline. Teams rumored to be interested in him are:

#Chargers
#Patriots
#Chiefs

From a fantasy perspective, his value soars if he lands with LA or even NE.

Colin McTamany @colinmctamany.bsky.social · 17h

Tony Pollard if released by the Titans during the 2026 off-season:
➡️ $2M in dead cap
➡️ $7.25M in cap savings

Not the biggest name that RB needy teams could acquire before the trade deadline, but worth considering

Pollard is averaging 15.3 carries, 17.6 opportunities per game

When all you need to win one of your most important leagues is 2 points from James Cook and he’s off to a 6-yard first quarter. #Bills

Razzball @razzball.bsky.social · 1d

This gimmick sucks. Brewers are awesome; dodgers know them; let’s not be dumb

Brewers manager Pat Murphy: ‘I'm sure that most Dodger players can't name eight guys on our roster. No offense to them, they shouldn't have to know the names, but these are some guys that hopefully they know their names by the time it's over. You never know.’

Tom Kessenich @tomkessenich.bsky.social · 1d

Just like the #Raiders and Pete Carroll. So many terrible teams just insist on remaining terrible.

Bearly Fantasy @bearlyfantasy.optimusfantasy.com · 1d

Ian Rapoport said on NFL GameDay Live that Arthur Smith and Matt Nagy are two names to watch for the #Titans' next head coach

If these 2 end up being interviewed for the job, then the fans better hope neither get hired. There is NOTHING good to say about them as head coaches.

It’s his belief they need to use Kyle Monangai more. Maybe we see that starting tonight coming out of the bye.

A lot of beat writers think Tony Pollard is available. #Chargers beat writers think LA is trying to get him which makes a ton of sense. He should be very affordable and he’s a good RB. I had a #Bears beat writer on my Sirius show last week and he insists the team loves Swift.

Tim Holstad @timholstad.fantasynowplus.com · 1d

The Bears should be calling about Chuba, or Breece Hall, or Kenneth Walker at this point. Possibly the Cardinals as well if they think Benson is missing more than the 4 game minimum.

Tom Kessenich @tomkessenich.bsky.social · 1d

They shouldn’t.

As I posted yesterday, it doesn’t matter what type of contract Hubbard got in the offseason. Nor does it matter who the #Panthers have played, back-to-back 200-yard games by Rico Dowdle simply cannot be ignored.

Tom Kessenich @tomkessenich.bsky.social · 1d

Same here. I have Chuba shares and zero Dowdle shares (unfortunately since I’m a big Rico fan). If it was my decision, I’d give him the job outright. Chuba has been Pipp’d.

Panthers Won't Name Chuba Hubbard the Starter

Carolina Panthers running back Chuba Hubbard (calf) has missed the last two games, and in his stead, Rico Dowdle has run for 389 yards and added 84 receiving yards and two touchdowns. When asked if Dowdle has earned the right to continue his role as the starting running back, head coach Dave Canales was non-committal. […]
