Jawhar Jordan vs Tony Pollard: Who Should You Start?
Deciding between Jawhar Jordan and Tony Pollard is a common lineup dilemma for fantasy managers. The Houston Texans running back put up 6.6 PPG in 2025 over 4 games; Tony Pollard of the Tennessee Titans averaged 10.0 in 17. A 3.4-point margin that could shift on any given week.
The per-game difference of 3.4 points favors Tony Pollard, though savvy managers know that gap can shrink or widen depending on the weekly slate. Defensive matchup, recent scoring trends, and health status all shift the calculus from one running back to the other.
Both profile as early-down workhorses. Jawhar Jordan ran for 193 yards and undefined touchdowns; Tony Pollard posted 1082 and 5. Goal-line share, red zone touches, and which team is favored are usually the tiebreaker when neither back offers passing-game volume.
One scheduling note: Jawhar Jordan is off Week 14 and Tony Pollard Week 5. If these two are on your roster, you will need a fill-in running back for both weeks. DraftCall flags bye conflicts so you can plan ahead rather than panic on waivers.
