Tony Pollard Week 15 Outlook - Titans at 49ers

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Thu, Dec 11th 2025, 1:35pm EST

Last week, Tony Pollard reclaimed his lead back role with a 59.4% snap rate and 25 of the 33 running back carries. He didn't play much on passing downs with only a 10.3% route share, so he could get game-scripted out this week if (or when) the 49ers run away with the game. Pollard finished with 25 carries and 161 rushing yards (two scores). It was his highest carry total of the season and his first 100-yard rushing day in 2025. Among 57 qualifying backs, Pollard ranks 36th in explosive run rate and 26th in yards after contact per attempt. Pollard could have another nice day if the Titans lean on the run. Since Week 10, the 49ers have allowed the third-highest rushing success rate, the eighth-highest missed tackle rate, the eighth-highest yards after contact per attempt, and had the third-lowest stuff rate.
