Fantasy Football Player Notes
2025 Half PPR Draft Rankings
|
68.
Tony Pollard
RB - (at JAC)
Once a high-efficiency darling as the backup to Ezekiel Elliott in Dallas, Tony Pollard has played a bigger role the last two years, but his efficiency has plummeted. Pollard averaged 5.1 yards per carry and 6.3 yards per target over his first four NFL seasons. He's averaged 4.1 yards per carry and 4.4 yards per target as a lead RB the last two seasons. Pollard finished RB22 in half-point PPR fantasy points per game in 2022, RB23 last year. It appears that might be the ceiling for Pollard, and there's risk that he could lose more of his workload to talented backup Tyjae Spears in 2025.

Calvin Ridley
WR - (at JAC)
Since missing the 2022 season due to a gambling suspension, Calvin Ridley has produced two straight 1,000-yard seasons and hasn't missed a game over that span. He endured gruesome quarterbacking in Tennessee last year, and now Ridley gets to play with top overall draft pick Cam Ward, an aggressive downfield thrower. Ridley is the Titans' undisputed No. 1 receiver, and I think he's likely to see more than the 120 targets he had last season. There's a good chance Ridley will provide WR2 numbers at a low-end WR3 price.

Tyjae Spears
RB - (at JAC)
After a promising rookie season in 2023, Tyjae Spears dealt with a litany of injuries in 2024 -- two concussions, a hamstring issue and a sprained ankle -- that cost him five games. Spears showed some tantalizing flashes in 2023. He's a very capable pass catcher who's had 82 receptions in his first two seasons. Titans head coach Brian Callahan has hinted at Spears playing a bigger role in 2025. Considering that Titans lead RB Tony Pollard has been pretty ordinary for the last two seasons, we should probably take Callahan seriously.

Cameron Ward
QB - (at JAC)
Cam Ward arrives in Tennessee and will be the face of the franchise moving forward. The Titans desperately need Ward to establish himself in 2025 and offer the team hope that they have the right player to lead them into the future. Ward's game can be a highwire act down to down. There are plenty of high-end moments and special plays, but Ward also has plenty of misfires and can run through cold stretches in games. In his final collegiate season, he ranked fourth in yards per attempt and 12th in big-time throw rate, but he was also 22nd in pressure-adjusted completion rate and 32nd in clean pocket-adjusted completion rate (per PFF). Behind a questionable but hopefully ascending offensive line and a thin skill position depth chart, Ward could offer some spike week potential and streamable moments, but he's likely only worth drafting this season in 2QB or Superflex redraft formats.

Chig Okonkwo
TE - (at JAC)
Fantasy managers are still waiting for the Chig Okonkwo breakout season that they though might be coming after he flashed playmaking ability as a rookie in 2022. But we're now three seasons into Okonkwo's career, and he has yet to finish as a top-20 tight end in fantasy scoring. The optimistic case for an Okonkwo breakout in Year 4 is that No. 1 overall draft pick Cam Ward is an aggressive downfield thrower who could pump new life into the Titans' passing game, and Tennessee has a shortage of pass-catching weaponry. But first Okonkwo will have to win a training camp battle against fourth-round rookie Gunnar Helm.

247.
Elic Ayomanor
WR - (at JAC)
Elic Ayomanor was drafted by the Titans in Round 4. The former Stanford standout brings a rare blend of size (6'2", 206), athleticism (4.4s speed, 82nd percentile jumps), and production - boasting the highest career dominator rating in the class (39%). Ayomanor posted 125 catches for 1,844 yards and 12 TDs across two seasons and flashed true X-receiver traits. In Tennessee, he lands in a WR room headlined by veterans Calvin Ridley and Tyler Lockett, presenting Ayomanor a realistic chance to rise the depth chart quickly and become Cam Ward's favorite rookie WR.
