Who Should I Start? Tony Pollard or Jalen Hurts

Friday, October 10, 9:33 PM

Tennessee Titans running back Tony Pollard continues to be a solid contributor early in the season. Last week, Pollard rushed the ball 14 times for 67 yards and a touchdown in the win over the Arizona Cardinals. Pollard has rushed for 60 yards or more in four of his first five games of the season. The return of Tyjae Spears figures to slowly take away some of Pollard's value, but for now fantasy managers shouldn't be worried. Pollard has a plus matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders defense in Week 6. He should be able to offer low-end RB2 value for this weekend. Pollard continues succeeding, so the Titans are likely going to continue feeding him the ball.

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts completed 24 of his 33 pass attempts for 283 yards, one touchdown, and one interception during Thursday's Week 6 loss to the New York Giants. He also added seven carries for 13 rushing yards and one rushing touchdown. Hurts set a season high in passing yards but also threw his first turnover of the year -- both of which are somewhat expected when a low passing volume quarterback suddenly has to throw the ball 33 times. The Eagles have now lost two straight games, and some of Hurts' passing struggles could be a reason why. His schedule doesn't get any easier as he takes on a talented, well-coached Vikings defense in Week 7.
