Wan'Dale Robinson Gets Outsnapped as Tennessee's Rotation Shifts
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson logged 38 offensive snaps (60%) in Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Cleveland Browns while Carnell Tate and Elic Ayomanor each played 56 snaps and drew seven targets. Robinson can be dropped in 10-team leagues and is expendable in most 12-team formats, particularly outside full PPR, while managers in 14-team PPR leagues can retain him as receiving depth, although Tennessee's Week 9 bye makes that decision less appealing. He also failed to capitalize on Calvin Ridley's (hip) absence in the loss, catching four of six targets for just seven yards. His snap share has fallen from 75% in Week 5, and he has converted 13 targets into just seven receptions for 29 yards over his past two appearances. His 43 targets through seven games suggest he remains involved in the offense, but those opportunities have yielded only 205 yards at 7.1 yards per reception.

Tony Pollard Emerging as Likely Trade Candidate
According to ESPN's Dan Graziano, Tennessee Titans running back Tony Pollard is more likely to be traded at the deadline than other star running backs Saquon Barkley or Jonathan Taylor. Graziano notes that both Barkley and Taylor are also possible trade candidates, but Pollard would be the most likely if the Titans receive a compelling offer. In seven games this season, Pollard has 112 carries for 478 yards and four touchdowns, plus 11 receptions for 50 yards. Pollard has no more guaranteed money on his salary, and the team would save $7.25 million in cap space if they move him. Teams such as the New York Giants, Seattle Seahawks, Cincinnati Bengals, or even his former team, the Dallas Cowboys, could be options for Pollard. Fantasy managers should also monitor both Tyjae Spears and rookie Nicholas Singleton if Pollard is moved, as both backs would see increased roles.

Michael Carter a Potential Deep-League Handcuff With Deadline Approaching
Tennessee Titans running back Michael Carter has only been active for two of the Titans' games so far in 2026, but he could be worth stashing as a deep-league RB handcuff in Tennessee in the event the Titans' lead back, Tony Pollard, is dealt before the Nov. 10 trade deadline. The Titans also have Tyjae Spears (knee), but he missed the Week 7 loss to the Cleveland Browns with a knee injury and is more of a pass-catching back and not an early-down grinder. In his two games for Tennessee this year, the 27-year-old former fourth-round pick from North Carolina has only three rushing attempts for seven yards and has caught his only target for a gain of seven yards. All three of his carries came on Sunday against the Browns with Spears inactive. In his five-plus-year NFL career, Carter has averaged 4.0 yards per carry on 421 rushing attempts for 1,699 yards and nine touchdowns, adding 146 receptions for 1,045 yards and one touchdown as a receiver in 63 games (27 starts) with three teams. He could serve as the RB2 again in Week 8 against the Cincinnati Bengals, too, if Spears misses a second straight game.

Tony Pollard Accounts for All Three Titans Touchdowns in Week 7 Loss
Tennessee Titans running back Tony Pollard is a solid RB2 option heading into a Week 8 matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals after accounting for all three of his team's touchdowns in Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Cleveland Browns, rushing for 129 yards and three scores on a season-high 25 carries. Pollard struck on runs of 36 and 10 yards in the first quarter before scoring from one yard out with 58 seconds remaining to tie the game. He nearly added another touchdown in the second quarter, but replay overturned the score, and Cleveland eventually stopped him on fourth-and-goal from the one-yard line. He also caught all three of his targets for 26 yards, finishing with 155 scrimmage yards and 36.5 PPR fantasy points. With Tyjae Spears (knee) inactive, Pollard handled 25 of Tennessee's 28 running back carries, and that workload and goal-line role reinforce his status as the team's primary rushing option.

Tyjae Spears Inactive Against Browns in Week 7
Tennessee Titans running back Tyjae Spears (knee) is inactive for Sunday's Week 7 matchup against the Cleveland Browns, according to team reporter Jim Wyatt, which makes Tony Pollard a volume-driven RB3/flex option for Week 7. Spears has been Tennessee's most frequently targeted running back on the season, catching 15 passes on 17 targets compared with Pollard's eight receptions on 12 targets. Pollard has dominated the rushing workload, carrying 19 times for 76 yards against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 6 while Spears managed just one carry for one yard. Rookie Nick Singleton is also inactive, leaving Julius Chestnut and practice-squad elevation Kalel Mullings as depth behind Pollard. The veteran could absorb additional passing-game opportunities alongside his established rushing workload, although Cleveland has allowed just one rushing touchdown through six games.

Calvin Ridley Inactive With Hip Injury in Week 7
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Calvin Ridley (hip) is inactive for Sunday's Week 7 matchup against the Cleveland Browns, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter, a move that puts Elic Ayomanor on the radar in deeper fantasy leagues only. Ridley was questionable after practicing on a limited basis Wednesday before sitting out Thursday and Friday. The veteran has caught just five of 10 targets for 81 yards on the season and played 28 of Tennessee's 46 offensive snaps in Week 6, matching Ayomanor's workload. Ayomanor could see considerably more playing time alongside Carnell Tate and Wan'Dale Robinson, but he has drawn only 14 targets through six games, catching seven passes for 133 yards and a touchdown. That limited involvement in the passing game makes him difficult to trust in standard-sized leagues.

Wan'Dale Robinson Remains a Low-Floor PPR Flex Option
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson remains in the flex conversation for Sunday's meeting with the visiting Cleveland Browns and offers a solid floor for fantasy managers in need of stability. Robinson has cleared only 70% of Tennessee's snaps in two games this season, though he's stayed steadily involved in the team's attack, commanding five or more targets in all but one outing. While he doesn't project to be a huge help outside of PPR formats, the former New York Giant could see a minor increase in production for this Sunday's matchup with the Browns. Fellow wideout Calvin Ridley (hip) is questionable to play, which should force Robinson into a slightly larger snap share. Through six weeks, Robinson ranks as the clear second on the team in targets, receptions, and receiving yards, while pacing Tennessee's pass catchers with two touchdowns.

Titans Defense a Reasonable Option in Week 7
The Tennessee Titans' defense is coming off an exceptional effort in a win over the Indianapolis Colts, during which the Titans finished with six sacks and two interceptions of Colts quarterback Daniel Jones. This week, the Titans take on a Cleveland Browns offense that has scored just 25 points over the last two weeks, including a 13-point effort in a win over the Baltimore Ravens last week. Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson was sacked five times during the win over Baltimore, while he was limited to just 164 yards passing and was held without a touchdown.

Gunnar Helm a Tough Play in Week 7
Tennessee Titans tight end Gunnar Helm remains a questionable option for fantasy managers and should stay on the bench in Week 7. Helm wasn't targeted in Week 6 and has failed to record a reception in his last two games. He has just one reception in his last three games and has recorded more than two receptions in just one game this season, a Week 1 win over the New York Jets. Along with his limited usage, he is averaging a slim 6.7 yards per reception and has yet to find the end zone in 2026. In Week 7, the Titans take on the Cleveland Browns, who allowed Baltimore Ravens tight end Josh Cuevas to haul in four receptions for 44 yards and a touchdown last week.

Wan'Dale Robinson Looking to Bounce Back
It was a slow week for Tennessee Titans wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson in Week 6, as he hauled in just three of seven targets for 22 yards during a win over the Indianapolis Colts. This week, Robinson is hoping to rebound, but may find it difficult to do so as he and the Titans go up against a strong Cleveland Browns pass defense that has recorded the 10th-best passing EPA per play allowed (-0.10) in the NFL, according to Next Gen Stats. The Browns gave up just 10 receptions for 106 yards to Baltimore Ravens wide receivers a week ago. Fellow Titans wide receiver Calvin Ridley did not practice on Thursday or Friday and has been marked questionable for Sunday's game against the Ravens, per the Titans injury report. If Ridley cannot play, that could mean more targets for Robinson.

Carnell Tate Gaining Steam Entering Week 7
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Carnell Tate bounced back from a slow game in Week 6 with a six-reception, 70-yard performance that included a touchdown in a win over the Indianapolis Colts last Sunday. Tate now has 16 receptions for 221 yards and a score over his last three games, but goes up against a stingy Cleveland Browns pass defense in Week 7. The Browns limited the Baltimore Ravens to just 165 yards through the air a week ago and have allowed just 205.2 yards passing per game this season, the eighth-fewest in the league.

Tyjae Spears Has Tall Hill to Climb
Tennessee Titans running back Tyjae Spears is questionable to play against the Cleveland Browns on Sunday, as he was limited during Friday's practice due to a knee injury, according to the Titans' injury report. Spears was a non-factor during the Titans' win over the Indianapolis Colts in Week 6, recording just one carry for one yard and one reception for seven yards. It was a disappointing effort after he hauled in nine receptions in a loss to the Houston Texans the week before. He is averaging a slim 3.7 yards per carry and five yards per reception this season. The Titans take on a Browns defense that allowed Ravens backup running back Justice Hill to record three receptions last week.

Tony Pollard a Volume-Based RB Option in Week 7
Tennessee Titans running back Tony Pollard has recorded at least 14 carries in five straight games, including a season-best 19 carries for 76 yards during a win over the Indianapolis Colts last week. In Week 7, Pollard faces a Cleveland Browns rush defense that has been middle of the pack this season, allowing 112.3 yards rushing per game, which is ranked 17th in the NFL. Last week, Cleveland did a nice job against Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry, limiting Henry to just 58 yards rushing on 17 carries, while holding the Ravens to 3.8 yards per carry as a team. Fellow Titans running back Tyjae Spears is questionable against the Browns due to a knee injury that left him limited during Friday's practice. If Spears can't play vs. Cleveland, that could mean even more work for Pollard, particularly in the passing game, where Pollard hasn't recorded a reception in his past two games.

Cam Ward Faces Tough Matchup in Week 7
Tennessee Titans quarterback Cam Ward is coming off a big win over the Indianapolis Colts but faces a challenging matchup against the Cleveland Browns in Week 7. The Browns have allowed just 205.2 yards passing per game this season, the eighth-fewest in the NFL, limiting the past two quarterbacks they've faced to 165 yards passing or fewer while racking up 11 sacks. Last week, Cleveland held Baltimore Ravens backup quarterback Tyler Huntley to a paltry 5.3 yards per completion. Ward put up just 102 yards passing and a touchdown while completing 11 of 22 passes, including an interception, against the Colts in Week 6.

Tyjae Spears Holds Questionable Tag for Week 7
Tennessee Titans running back Tyjae Spears (knee) is listed as questionable ahead of the Week 7 matchup against the Cleveland Browns. Spears didn't practice to begin the week, but got through a full session on Thursday, then downgraded to limited on Friday. Spears has been dealing with nagging ankle and knee issues for weeks. Spears has been a non-factor most weeks anyway, outside of a nine-catch performance in Week 5. If he's unable to play, Tony Pollard would likely see a few more carries, which would increase his fantasy value slightly. When healthy, Spears is barely a deep league flex option, so he's probably best left on the bench in Week 7.
