Indulge me in a bit of game theory with this Week 9 ATD and FTD pick. This game features two of the weaker offenses in the NFL facing one another. While Tennessee has an excellent defense, the same cannot be said of New England. The Patriots rank 30th in DVOA against the pass and 29th versus the run. Titans running back Tony Pollard has earned at least 20 opportunities (carries plus targets) in six of seven games this season. He is best suited to take advantage of this matchup. Primary backup Tyjae Spears has already been ruled out, so Pollard could be in line for a monster workload, except for the fact that Pollard has yet to practice this week due to a foot injury. Needless to say, this is less than ideal for a running back.
If you want to bet against Pollard playing on Sunday, there are a couple of ways to go. Third-string running back Julius Chestnut would stand to be Tennessee's top option out of the backfield if Pollard is ruled out. The problem is twofold. First, sportsbooks know this as well. I have seen Chestnut's ATD line as low as +100, which seems silly considering that Chestnut is in his third NFL season and has touched the ball 24 times on offense. The only place I would consider betting on Chestnut is on Bet365. They have his ATD line at +275 and his FTD line at +1200.
The other option I like is wide receiver Calvin Ridley, who has been wildly inconsistent this season. However, he had 10 catches for 143 yards last week after the team traded DeAndre Hopkins. Ridley will likely have to square off with standout cornerback Christian Gonzalez, but should still be heavily targeted regardless of which quarterback Tennessee goes with on Sunday. Ridley's best ATD price is at +190 on DraftKings, while his best FTD price is currently +900 on Fanatics. If you want to bet on any Titan other than Pollard, the time to do so is now. These prices will only drop further if and when Pollard is ruled out.
