Who Should I Start? Tony Pollard or Quinshon Judkins

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.

Cleveland Browns running back Quinshon Judkins is off to a red-hot start to his career. Judkins has gained at least 82 rushing yards in three straight games while finding the end zone twice. That includes the first 100-yard rushing game of his career in Week 5's 21-17 loss to the Minnesota Vikings as he turned 23 carries into 110 yards. He will look to keep it going in a Week 6 road matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Steelers have been solid against running backs this season, allowing the 18th-most fantasy points per game to the position through four games. Judkins has been seeing almost all of the running-back touches and sets up as a locked-in RB2 in fantasy based on projected volume alone.
