Who Should I Start? Tony Pollard or DeVonta Smith

Sunday, January 5, 11:46 AM

As expected, Tennessee Titans running back Tony Pollard (ankle) is officially active on Sunday in the Week 18 regular-season finale against the division-rival Houston Texans. After practicing on a limited basis all week, Pollard will return for the final game of the season after he sat out the Week 17 loss to the division-rival Jacksonville Jaguars. Tyjae Spears (concussion) was ruled out, so Pollard could see a near full workload in his return as the Titans close out a disappointing season. The 27-year-old can earn an extra $250,000 if he racks up 83 rushing yards on the year for 1,100 yards on the season. If he scores twice on Sunday, he'd earn an extra $200,000, so Pollard could be busy and has plenty at stake for fantasy managers debating on whether to throw him into their starting lineups. He has clear RB2 upside for Week 18.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith stepped up in Sunday night's 22-10 win against the Green Bay Packers, leading the team with four receptions for 55 yards. While Jalen Hurts didn't air it out much, Smith made the most of his opportunities, showcasing his reliability and playmaking ability when targeted. With the Eagles relying on their running game and dominant defense, Smith's contributions in the passing game provided timely support. As Philadelphia prepares to host the winner of Minnesota Vikings/Los Angeles Rams in the Divisional Round, Smith remains a key offensive weapon capable of delivering clutch plays when needed.
