Tony Pollard, RB, Tennessee Titans

Week 11: 9 carries, 15 yards; 2 catches, 14 yards

2024 Season: 160 carries, 681 yards, 3 TDs; 30 catches, 168 yards

Don’t worry about Tyjae Spears’ recent return to action. Pollard is still the Titans’ lead running back with a clear edge in touches over his running mate.

Over the last two weeks, Pollard has outpaced Spears in touches 24-15. More importantly for fantasy managers in point-per-reception leagues, Pollard has a steady role in the short passing game, logging multiple catches in every contest this season and at least three in each outing between Weeks 8 and 10.

Pollard will have a tailback-friendly schedule during the fantasy playoffs, facing the Jacksonville Jaguars (twice), who allow the most fantasy points to running backs, the Indianapolis Colts’ run defense, which ranked 29th coming into Week 11, and the Cincinnati Bengals have allowed 15 rushing touchdowns in 11 contests.

Buy Pollard for: Rhamondre Stevenson, Najee Harris, D’Andre Swift

Rachaad White, RB, Tampa Bay Buccaneers

2024 Season: 80 carries, 306 yards, TD; 37 catches, 291 yards, 4 TDs

White has lost his stronghold on the lion’s share of touches in the Buccaneers’ backfield. At times, Tampa Bay employs a three-man rotation with Bucky Irving and Sean Tucker. Yet White still has value, especially with a favorable schedule coming up.

White has had at least 11 touches in all but one of his nine appearances this season. In his last outing, he logged 10 carries and hauled in six out of seven targets for 39 yards and a touchdown. Wide receiver Mike Evans’ imminent return from a hamstring injury shouldn’t impact the dual-threat running back’s target share.

Though White has a tough Week 15 matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers, he finishes with games against the Dallas Cowboys and Carolina Panthers. The Cowboys and Panthers are the bottom two teams in rushing yards allowed and rank within the top seven in fantasy points allowed to running backs.

Buy White for: Brian Robinson Jr., Travis Etienne, Najee Harris

Jakobi Meyers, WR, Las Vegas Raiders

Week 11: 4 catches, 28 yards; 1 carry, 20 yards

2024 Season: 43 catches, 458 yards, 2 TDs; 2 carries, 23 yards

The Raiders have some uncertainty at quarterback. They may bench Gardner Minshew for a fourth time in favor of Desmond Ridder or Aidan O’Connell, who’s recovering from a fractured thumb.

Still, Las Vegas’ quarterback situation doesn’t change Meyers’ status as the No. 1 wide receiver on its roster. Rookie tight end Brock Bowers will likely lead the team in targets for the remainder of the season, but Meyers shouldn’t be far behind him in the pecking order.

In Week 9, Meyers had his best game of the season, catching eight passes for 105 yards. He cooled off last week, recording just four catches for 28 yards, which makes him a viable buy-low candidate.

Between Weeks 15 and 17, Meyers will face the Atlanta Falcons, Jaguars and New Orleans Saints. All three teams rank within the top seven in fantasy points allowed to wide receivers. In Week 14, Meyers gets the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who are 11th in that category.

Buy Meyers for: Michael Pittman Jr., Tyler Lockett, Rashod Bateman
