Who Should I Start? Tony Pollard or Jauan Jennings

Saturday, September 6, 9:09 AM

Tennessee Titans running back Tony Pollard opens the 2025 season with a difficult Week 1 matchup against the Denver Broncos. Pollard averaged 67.4 rushing yards per game last season, and he's facing a Broncos defense that allowed the fifth-fewest rushing yards and fourth-fewest rushing touchdowns to opposing running backs last year. While Denver did show some susceptibility against pass-catching backs, Pollard will likely need to touch the ball around 20 times (or score a touchdown) to make him a meaningful fantasy starter. Managers should treat him as an RB3/FLEX option heading into this weekend.

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings (calf) is off the injury report and will suit up in their Week 1 contest against the Seattle Seahawks. Earlier on Friday, head coach Kyle Shanahan said that regarding Jennings's status, he is "really confident" and that he's "gotten better and better throughout the week", and "I'm excited to see him out there Sunday." The 28-year-old wideout was diagnosed with a calf injury and was also expressing interest in signing a new contract. Jennings was able to not only move past his injury but also ink a new contract with the club that grants him incentives based on playing time in the upcoming season. In 2024, Jennings enjoyed a breakout campaign, totaling 975 yards and six touchdowns. Fantasy managers should expect him to operate as Brock Purdy's go-to option in the passing attack and carry high-end WR3 value facing the Seahawks.
