Who Should I Start? Tony Pollard or Jordan Addison

Tuesday, November 11, 9:43 PM

Across nine games played in 2025, Tennessee Titans running back Tony Pollard has recorded 623 scrimmage yards and two touchdowns on 138 total touches, an average of 15.3 touches per game. However, Pollard's usage was clearly trending downwards heading into Tennessee's Week 10 bye. After seeing at least 14 carries and 17 total touches in each of the Titans' first five games of the season, Pollard failed to crack 12 total touches in any of his most recent four outings. Tennessee has been steadily evening out the workload between Pollard and third-year back Tyjae Spears. Coming out of the bye week, there seems to be little reason for the 1-8 Titans to feed the veteran Pollard over the up-and-coming Spears. Spears has also been more efficient, averaging over a yard per touch more than Pollard. Heading into a Week 11 matchup against the Houston Texans, Pollard is tough for fantasy managers to trust as anything more than a low-end flex option.

With the Minnesota Vikings struggling for consistency as they break in a young quarterback, wide receiver Jordan Addison is a fringe starting option in standard formats against the Chicago Bears in Week 11. The third-year man from USC looked to be developing a legitimate chemistry with quarterback J.J. McCarthy during training camp and the preseason, but that has yet to come to fruition in a regular-season game. Addison drew a whopping 11 targets last week, but caught only three for 35 yards as the Vikings tried and failed to make up a multi-score deficit in the fourth quarter against Baltimore. Since a 128-yard outburst against Philadelphia in Week 7, Addison has 109 receiving yards in the past three games combined. There is potential in the matchup against a Bears secondary that ranks 24th against PPR receivers, but Addison should be viewed as high-risk, high-reward WR3/flex, given the offense's unpredictability.
