Who Should I Start? Tony Pollard or Kenneth Walker III

Saturday, November 22, 12:02 PM

Tennessee Titans running back Tony Pollard remains the primary ball-carrier on his team, but he's still tough to trust heading into Week 12 against the Seattle Seahawks. He's averaging just 3.7 yards per carry over his last five games and faces off against a Seattle run defense allowing the third-fewest rushing yards to opposing running backs in 2025. To make matters worse, Pollard has started to see his workload decline with Tyjae Spears back in action, tallying 11 or fewer carries in each of his last five contests. If Pollard came into this tough matchup with greater efficiency or a larger workload, managers could still feel comfortable deploying him in lineups. However, his volume, efficiency, and matchup are all major red flags, relegating him to the bench in most fantasy leagues. He ranks as the overall RB37 in RotoBaller's latest fantasy rankings.

Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III (glute) is on the team's Week 13 injury report and was listed as limited in Wednesday's practice with a glute injury, according to Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic. Walker, who has a history of lower-body injuries, is worth monitoring ahead of a Week 13 clash against the Minnesota Vikings this weekend. The 25-year-old continues to share playing time with backfield mate Zach Charbonnet, but he has been much more efficient with his opportunities in 2025, compiling 677 rushing yards and four touchdowns on his 147 rushing attempts. Walker has also added 157 receiving yards. If Walker is able to play against Minnesota, he should be viewed as a low-end RB2 for fantasy managers. He played through his glute injury in last week's win over the Titans and had 14 touches for 101 scrimmage yards.
