Who Should I Start? Allen Lazard or Tony Pollard

New York Jets wide receivers Allen Lazard and Adonai Mitchell are both healthy inactives for the team's Week 10 contest on Sunday against the Cleveland Browns. Despite Josh Reynolds (hip) being on Injured Reserve, Lazard will sit out coming out of the team's bye week. The 29-year-old caught just one of his two targets for five yards in the Week 8 win over the Cincinnati Bengals, and he has only seven catches for 45 yards and a touchdown in 2025 with the Jets. Mitchell was acquired from the Indianapolis Colts at Tuesday's trade deadline in the deal that sent All-Pro cornerback Sauce Gardner to the Colts, but the Jets don't think he's ready to contribute on offense just yet. John Metchie III, who was acquired from the Philadelphia Eagles last week, is active, though, and could be battling for WR2 duties behind Wilson in his debut with the team.

Across nine games played in 2025, Tennessee Titans running back Tony Pollard has recorded 623 scrimmage yards and two touchdowns on 138 total touches, an average of 15.3 touches per game. However, Pollard's usage was clearly trending downwards heading into Tennessee's Week 10 bye. After seeing at least 14 carries and 17 total touches in each of the Titans' first five games of the season, Pollard failed to crack 12 total touches in any of his most recent four outings. Tennessee has been steadily evening out the workload between Pollard and third-year back Tyjae Spears. Coming out of the bye week, there seems to be little reason for the 1-8 Titans to feed the veteran Pollard over the up-and-coming Spears. Spears has also been more efficient, averaging over a yard per touch more than Pollard. Heading into a Week 11 matchup against the Houston Texans, Pollard is tough for fantasy managers to trust as anything more than a low-end flex option.
