Who Should I Start? Tony Pollard or Breece Hall

Tennessee Titans running back had 25 carries, 161 rushing yards, and two rushing touchdowns during Sunday's Week 14 win over the Cleveland Browns. His touchdowns came on long runs from 32 and 65 yards out, respectively. Pollard's big performance seemed to come out of nowhere. Over the last three weeks, he struggled to amass more than a dozen touches per game, averaged fewer than 4.5 yards per carry, didn't score a touchdown, and essentially split snaps 50/50 with Tyjae Spears. However, that entire dynamic changed this Sunday as Pollard shattered his previous season-high rushing attempt total (20) and posted his best fantasy performance of the season. Pollard played well early in the game, so it seems like Tennessee simply rode the hot hand and kept him in the game as long as he continued to play well. That same trend should continue in Week 15 against the San Francisco 49ers, and Pollard has the early advantage over Spears given his excellent showing this Sunday. He's back into the RB2 tier for Week 15.

New York Jets running back Breece Hall is slated for another superb matchup in Week 14 when his team squares off with the visiting Miami Dolphins. Hall hasn't been the most efficient of rushers since New York's Week 9 bye (3.61 yards per carry [70 rushes]). However, he's the PPR RB14 over that stretch in terms of points per game (14.4). He'll get a dream outing against a porous Dolphins' rush defense this weekend that's afforded opposing ground games the fourth-most yards per contest (137.5). Hall's involvement in the passing attack took a step back in Week 13, but he should see more work there on Sunday, as the Dolphins give up a good amount of receptions to RBs (57). The Iowa State alum ranks as RotoBaller's RB9 in PPR formats ahead of this weekend's slate of action.
