Miami’s Struggles Against the Run

One of the key factors here is Miami’s difficulty stopping the run this season. The Dolphins have been allowing an average of 1.7 rushing touchdowns per game, which ranks among the worst in the NFL. This trend makes it likely that Pollard, who has been a focal point in Tennessee’s red-zone offense, could be in line for a scoring opportunity.

Red Zone Success

Miami also allows the second-most fantasy points per game in the red zone (RZ FPPG), indicating that opposing offenses have been capitalizing on red-zone opportunities against them. Pollard has received all of the Titans’ red-zone carries this season, giving him prime opportunities to punch it in once Tennessee moves the ball inside the 20-yard line. The fact that Tyjae Spears has not been used in these key situations makes Pollard an even stronger candidate to score.

Usage and Role

Pollard has been the clear lead back for the Titans, and his workload in the red zone underscores how much trust the team has in him when it comes to getting crucial yards. With Miami struggling to contain running backs, and Pollard consistently being given red-zone touches, this sets up a favorable scenario for Pollard to find the end zone.

My Opinion: Given Miami’s vulnerabilities in the red zone and Pollard’s consistent usage near the goal line, I like his chances of scoring this week. With his current anytime TD odds at +180 on DK, Pollard is a great value play to hit paydirt.
