Fantasy football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em RB in Week 10: Tony Pollard looks to stay hot despite another tough test

Tony Pollard looks to stay hot against a formidable Jaguars defense, while several other running backs face tough calls

Tony Pollard once again has a difficult matchup. And once again, you should start him in the majority of leagues.

He faces the Jaguars in Week 10, and Jacksonville is No. 3 in fewest Fantasy points allowed to opposing running backs. This run defense was good before the Jaguars acquired defensive linemen Jordan Davis and Davon Godchaux at the trade deadline, along with safety Jessie Bates III, and they might be even more formidable now.

But Pollard has been dominant in his past two games against Cleveland and Cincinnati, scoring at least 28.7 PPR points in each outing, and he also had at least 13 PPR points against the Giants in Week 3 and the Ravens in Week 4. Tyjae Spears (knee) missed both games against the Browns and Bengals, and he's still missing practice in Week 10 after Tennessee's bye in Week 9.

Without Spears, Pollard has combined for six catches for 46 yards on eight targets, and his role in the passing game is likely vital to his success. Jacksonville has allowed four running backs in the past five games to score at least 10.1 PPR points, and Pollard should perform as at least a high-end flex option in all leagues.

I have him ranked as a top-20 Fantasy running back in Week 10, and I'm hopeful he stays hot despite the tough matchup, especially if Spears is out. Pollard should once again get the job done for Fantasy managers, even against Jacksonville.
