Who Should I Start? Josh Jacobs or Tony Pollard

Wednesday, November 19, 1:02 PM

Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said that running back Josh Jacobs (knee) will not practice on Wednesday, according to Weston Hodkiewicz of the team's official site. "The plan is to try to get him healthy enough to go. It's gonna be a day-by-day thing ... and we'll see how he progresses as the week unfolds," LaFleur said. Jacobs suffered a knee contusion in the Week 11 win over the New York Giants, and the Packers are calling him day-to-day for now. The 27-year-old isn't being ruled out for a Week 12 divisional contest against the Minnesota Vikings, but he's going to need to get back on the practice field in the next couple of days to avoid being ruled out. Emanuel Wilson operated as Green Bay's RB1 after Jacobs left last Sunday, making him one of the most popular waiver-wire pickups this week, even if it's for the short term. Chris Brooks would also see an elevated workload if Jacobs is unable to play this weekend.

Tennessee Titans running back Tony Pollard had 10 carries for 22 yards in Sunday's 16-13 loss to the Houston Texans in Week 11. Pollard also had three catches for four yards on three targets. The 28-year-old veteran scored a season low of 5.6 fantasy points and was out-snapped for the third time this season by backfield mate Tyjae Spears. Since Week 6, Pollard has only been able to eclipse over eight fantasy points once. The former explosive fantasy favorite has become a low-upside, touchdown-dependent flex option for managers. Pollard was been unable to find paydirt for a fifth straight week and has only been able to find the end zone twice this year. Heading into Week 12, Pollard will be a desperation flex option in deeper leagues in a difficult matchup against the Seattle Seahawks.
