Who Should I Start? Tony Pollard or RJ Harvey

Thursday, December 11, 9:44 AM

Tennessee Titans running back Tony Pollard has seen his fantasy value rise after piling up 161 yards and two touchdowns against a good Cleveland Browns defense in Week 14. Managers likely haven't been in a rush to add shares from a Titans offense that has struggled for most of the year, but Pollard is the No. 25 overall PPR running back and finished second at his position last week, making him an intriguing, if risky, option for the fantasy playoffs. The Titans take on a San Francisco 49ers defense that ranks 17th against fantasy running backs in Week 15, giving Pollard a decent but not outstanding matchup. He has 27 catches on the season and has maintained some RB3/flex value, but he could bring added value if Tennessee's offense turns a corner during the final month of the season.

Denver Broncos running back RJ Harvey posted his most significant workload of the season in Week 14's 24-17 win over the Las Vegas Raiders, totaling 100 yards from scrimmage and a touchdown on 23 total opportunities. Harvey was out there for the most snaps (50) and highest snap share (68%) of his debut season, setting a new career-high with his touch total. It was a strong performance for the rookie, and he'd be on the rise even further if fantasy managers could rely on a heavy touch load moving forward. Denver's offense has been up and down, but Harvey's touchdown upside and an increasing opportunity share have him positioned to be a force down the stretch of the fantasy playoffs. He'll face a tough test this weekend against the visiting Green Bay Packers, though he still presents solid RB2 value.
