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

Saturday, December 27, 9:21 PM

Tennessee Titans running back Tony Pollard is in the middle of a strong stretch of play. Pollard has rushed for over 100 yards in three straight games. During that span, Pollard has totaled 367 yards with three touchdowns. He'll look to keep the good times rolling against the New Orleans Saints in Week 17. A defense that has allowed the seventh-most rushing yards to running backs this season. The only downside is that Pollard is expected to continue splitting the carries with Tyjae Spears. Given Pollard's success, he figures to continue getting plenty of chances. Fantasy managers should consider Pollard a low-end RB2 for this favorable Week 17 matchup.

New York Giants running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. rushed for 103 yards on 18 carries during Sunday's Week 18 win over the Dallas Cowboys. He also caught eight of his nine targets for an additional 56 receiving yards and one receiving touchdown. The lone blemish of Tracy's performance was a third-quarter fumble. The second-year back finished the 2025 season with four touchdowns and over 1,000 scrimmage yards, filling in admirably for rookie Cam Skattebo (ankle). While we expect Skattebo to operate as the Giants' workhorse running back next year, Tracy is a valuable handcuff who has shown that he can be equally productive in the lead-back role.
