Who Should I Start? Tony Pollard or Andrei Iosivas

Saturday, November 22, 12:02 PM

Tennessee Titans running back Tony Pollard remains the primary ball-carrier on his team, but he's still tough to trust heading into Week 12 against the Seattle Seahawks. He's averaging just 3.7 yards per carry over his last five games and faces off against a Seattle run defense allowing the third-fewest rushing yards to opposing running backs in 2025. To make matters worse, Pollard has started to see his workload decline with Tyjae Spears back in action, tallying 11 or fewer carries in each of his last five contests. If Pollard came into this tough matchup with greater efficiency or a larger workload, managers could still feel comfortable deploying him in lineups. However, his volume, efficiency, and matchup are all major red flags, relegating him to the bench in most fantasy leagues. He ranks as the overall RB37 in RotoBaller's latest fantasy rankings.

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Andrei Iosivas is expected to have a larger role in the receiving game this weekend Fellow wideout Ja'Marr Chase is unavailable due to a suspension, but should return against the Baltimore Ravens for the Thanksgiving game. In the meantime, Iosivas should slide up the depth chart with Chase unable to suit up. Iosivas has been a non-factor in the offense outside of two five-catch performances. The 26-year-old showed good potential last season when he hauled in six touchdowns across 17 games. Iosivas is unlikely to carry much long-term value with Chase returning next week. However, fantasy managers should be able to plug him in as a low-end WR3 for this weekend.
