Who Should I Start? Leonard Fournette or Tony Pollard

Monday, November 11, 12:22 PM

The Cincinnati Bengals are working out veteran free-agent running back Leonard Fournette on Monday. The Bengals apparently are considering adding to their RB room after Zack Moss (neck) suffered a season-ending injury in the Week 9 win over the Las Vegas Raiders, despite trading for Khalil Herbert at the deadline last Tuesday. Chase Brown should operate as the team's unquestioned lead back moving forward, with Trayveon Williams as the RB3 behind Brown and Herbert. If the Bengals were to add Fournette, he'd almost certainly start on the practice squad before potentially working his way onto the active 53-man roster as additional RB depth. The 29-year-old veteran played in two games with the Bills in 2023 and has 12 carries for 40 yards on the ground. There's no guarantee that Lenny would find a significant role in Cincy if he were to be signed.

Tennessee Titans running back Tony Pollard has posted back-to-back games with over 100 rushing yards and a touchdown. Pollard's previous season high for rushing yards was 92 back in Week 2, and he scored only twice in the first 13 weeks before erupting over the past two games. The 28-year-old ranks as the RB3 in PPR points in the past two weeks after a mediocre first 12 games, where he ranked as the RB29. The former Dallas Cowboys running back has maintained a steady workload with double-digit touches in every game and at least 15 in three of the past four games. However, Pollard has a tough matchup on Sunday against a Kansas City Chiefs defense that has allowed the fourth fewest PPR points per game to running backs. He ranks as RotoBaller's RB29 in PPR leagues and is more of a FLEX option in Week 16.
