Who Should I Start? Josh Jacobs or Tony Pollard

Sunday, October 12, 8:08 PM

Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs carried the ball 18 times for 93 rushing yards and two rushing touchdowns during Sunday's Week 6 win over the Cincinnati Bengals. He also caught all five of his targets for an additional 57 receiving yards. Jacobs now has four rushing touchdowns over his last two games, taking advantage of favorable matchups and showcasing his ability to succeed around the goal line. He also has a total of 14 catches and 172 receiving yards over his last three contests. Jacobs' contributions in the passing game have been quite refreshing after he saw just one target over the first two weeks of the season. Between his pass-catching role and scoring tendencies, Jacobs has re-solidified himself as a solid RB1 option. Fantasy managers should get excited about his favorable matchup against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 7.

Tennessee Titans running back Tony Pollard continues to be a solid contributor early in the season. Last week, Pollard rushed the ball 14 times for 67 yards and a touchdown in the win over the Arizona Cardinals. Pollard has rushed for 60 yards or more in four of his first five games of the season. The return of Tyjae Spears figures to slowly take away some of Pollard's value, but for now fantasy managers shouldn't be worried. Pollard has a plus matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders defense in Week 6. He should be able to offer low-end RB2 value for this weekend. Pollard continues succeeding, so the Titans are likely going to continue feeding him the ball.
