Who Should I Start? Tony Pollard or Chuba Hubbard

Saturday, December 20, 1:54 PM

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.

Chuba Hubbard posted underwhelming numbers in Week 15 against the Saints. The Carolina RB had eight carries for 29 yards. He also added nine receiving yards on one reception to total just 4.8 PPR points. Hubbard has registered less than 5.0 PPR points in three of his last five games. The Panthers will face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 16. Tampa Bay ranks 23rd in Fantasy Points Per Game allowed to the RB position this year. Although Hubbard has a good matchup this week, he has not seen enough consistent volume to warrant a roster spot on most fantasy playoff teams. Outside of Week 13, Hubbard has not posted double-digit rushing attempts since Week 8. He should only be rostered as a handcuff to Rico Dowdle.
