Who Should I Start? Tony Pollard or Tyrone Tracy Jr.

Saturday, December 6, 2:31 PM

Across 12 games this season, Tennessee Titans running back Tony Pollard has recorded 753 scrimmage yards and two touchdowns on 177 touches. The 28-year-old has earned double-digit touches in every contest, but has not seen more than 15 in any game since Week 5. Since Tennessee's Week 10 bye, Pollard has played 95 offensive snaps while fellow Titans back Tyjae Spears has played 92. Given the nearly dead-even playing time split and the overall struggles of the Tennessee offense, Pollard's production upside has a firm ceiling. Additionally, the Titans have a tough matchup in Week 14 against the Cleveland Browns. Entering the week, Cleveland ranks second among all NFL defenses in yards per carry allowed (3.7). Pollard profiles as a deep-league flex option at best for fantasy managers in Week 14.

New York Giants running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. (hip) was carted off the field during the fourth quarter of Monday's blowout loss to the Patriots, but on Tuesday, the second-year back told reporters it was merely a hip contusion/stinger and that he is fine. Despite missing two games earlier this season with a shoulder injury, Tracy leads a banged-up Giants offense in rush attempts and yards, and had been enjoying his most productive three-game stretch of the season heading into Monday night. The Giants now face a Week 14 bye, so fantasy managers will need to wait an additional week for any official injury reports, but if healthy for Week 15, Tracy remains a low-ceiling flex candidate for the fantasy playoffs.
