Tony Pollard vs Trey Benson: Who Should You Start?
Deciding between Tony Pollard and Trey Benson is a common lineup dilemma for fantasy managers. The Tennessee Titans running back put up 10.0 PPG in 2025 over 17 games; Trey Benson of the Arizona Cardinals averaged 7.2 in 4. A 2.8-point margin that could shift on any given week.
The per-game difference of 2.8 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. Tony Pollard ran for 1082 yards and 5 touchdowns; Trey Benson posted 160 and undefined. 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: Tony Pollard is off Week 5 and Trey Benson Week 11. 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.
