Who Should I Start? Aaron Jones or Tony Pollard

Friday, December 20, 5:09 PM

Minnesota Vikings running back Aaron Jones has another exploitable outing on tap in Week 16 in a road tilt with the Seattle Seahawks. The veteran is in the midst of a nice stretch, with a touchdown in four straight games and three appearances of at least 16 fantasy points. He's commanded fewer targets recently than earlier in the season (likely due to the emergence of Jordan Addison). However, he has still registered at least two receptions in all but two contests. Despite allowing just nine rushing scores, Seattle has favored fantasy RBs in 2024 -; letting up the seventh-most rushing yards (109.43) and tenth-most fantasy points per game (24.8) to running backs. Jones clocks in as RotoBaller's PPR RB16 in this week's ranks.

Tennessee Titans running back Tony Pollard (ankle) is anticipated to play in Sunday's game versus the Colts. The 2019 No. 128 overall pick has played through an ankle injury over the last few weeks. However, it appears he'll get out there on Sunday after not practicing during the week and carrying a questionable designation. With the Titans eliminated from postseason contention, Pollard has little incentive to play other than being 18 yards shy of his third-consecutive 1,000-yard rushing season. Although the 27-year-old will likely hit that mark in Week 16, it's unknown how much of a factor he will be for the offense. With that in mind, Pollard is a risky option against Indianapolis despite the favorable matchup. Tyjae Spears, who scored twice in the loss to the Bengals, may still have a role. But Pollard's expected presence, even if he's limited, will likely cap Spear's volume and fantasy potential.
