Tony Pollard vs Tyler Allgeier: Who Should You Start?
If you are choosing between Tony Pollard and Tyler Allgeier for your lineup, you are not alone. Tony Pollard finished the 2025 season at 10.0 PPG for the Tennessee Titans (17 games), and Tyler Allgeier averaged 6.8 for the Arizona Cardinals (17 games).
That 3.2-point weekly advantage for Tony Pollard is meaningful but not automatic. Fantasy football is a week-to-week sport, and the answer to "who should I start" often changes based on opponent, recent form, and game environment. Season averages set the baseline; weekly context makes the call.
Both profile as early-down workhorses. Tony Pollard ran for 1082 yards and 5 touchdowns; Tyler Allgeier posted 514 and 8. Goal-line share, red zone touches, and which team is favored are usually the tiebreaker when neither back offers passing-game volume.
Tony Pollard has his bye in Week 5, and Tyler Allgeier rests in Week 11. Managers rostering both need waiver wire depth at running back for those two weeks, and that is exactly the kind of planning DraftCall's matchup engine surfaces automatically so you are not scrambling on a Sunday morning.
