Who Should I Start? Tony Pollard or Xavier Legette

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.

Xavier Legette caught one pass for 12 yards and totaled 2.2 PPR points in Week 16 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Carolina WR remains a non-factor in fantasy football right now. He has logged four consecutive games with under 6.0 PPR points. In Week 17, Legette has a tougher matchup against the Seahawks. Seattle ranks 12th in Fantasy Points Per Game allowed to the WR position this season. Regardless of the matchup, Legette does not warrant a lineup spot in any fantasy football championship games. Legette has seen 5+ targets in only three games since Week 5, and he has averaged 4.5 targets per game this year. With underwhelming fantasy totals and inconsistent volume, fantasy players will continue to ignore Legette at the end of the season.
