Who Should I Start? Josh Jacobs or Tony Pollard

Wednesday, December 10, 2:54 PM

Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs (knee) is not practicing on Wednesday, Bill Huber of Sports Illustrated reports. Jacobs was the lone Packers player not participating in Wednesday's practice session. The veteran was seen riding a bike and doing rehab work off to the side as practice began. It's not a great sign for the 28-year-old to open the week, but the team is likely just giving him a rest day. The 28-year-old missed Green Bay's Week 12 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings after injuring his knee in Week 11 against the New York Giants, but he returned for the Packers' past two games and handled his normal workload. If Jacobs winds up missing the Week 15 game versus the Denver Broncos, Emanuel Wilson would be in line to make another spot start. Jacobs is a must-start in fantasy lineups when active.

Tennessee Titans running back Tony Pollard has seen his fantasy value rise after piling up 161 yards and two touchdowns against a good Cleveland Browns defense in Week 14. Managers likely haven't been in a rush to add shares from a Titans offense that has struggled for most of the year, but Pollard is the No. 25 overall PPR running back and finished second at his position last week, making him an intriguing, if risky, option for the fantasy playoffs. The Titans take on a San Francisco 49ers defense that ranks 17th against fantasy running backs in Week 15, giving Pollard a decent but not outstanding matchup. He has 27 catches on the season and has maintained some RB3/flex value, but he could bring added value if Tennessee's offense turns a corner during the final month of the season.
