Week 14 of the 2024 fantasy football season has already started and managers must decide which running backs they will start in their lineups. Some of them may be debating between Tony Pollard, Aaron Jones and Najee Harris this week. All three of them have upside, but here's which one is the best pick.
Is Tony Pollard a good fantasy pick in Week 14?
Tony Pollard is having a solid 2024 fantasy football season in his first year with the Tennessee Titans. He currently ranks as the overall RB22 and has finished among the top 15 weekly running backs five times, while already eclipsing 1,000 scrimmage yards this year.

Up next for Pollard is a favorable matchup this week against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Their defense has been one of the worst in the NFL this season, so he should have plenty of scoring opportunities.
Is Aaron Jones a good fantasy pick in Week 14?
Aaron Jones has struggled a bit recently, but he is still having a strong fantasy season in his first year with the Minnesota Vikings. He currently ranks as the overall RB17, but has finished outside of the top 30 weekly running backs in each of his past two games.
Jones also turned in a season-low five carries in his most recent game last week, so he will be looking to get back on track against the Atlanta Falcons. He exceeded 15 carries in each of his five games previously, so he is an ideal bounce back candidate.
Is Najee Harris a good fantasy pick in Week 14?
Najee Harris has been consistently reliable in fantasy football this season with the Pittsburgh Steelers. He has finished as the RB33 or better in each of his 12 games so far with at least 16 touches in all of them and currently ranks as the overall RB21.
He also carries additional upside this week into a matchup against the Cleveland Browns after finishing as a season-best RB3 last week with a season-high 129 scrimmage yards. He will also bring some risk, considering he recorded just 41 rushing yards in their first meeting just two weeks ago.
Tony Pollard or Aaron Jones or Najee Harris: Who should I start in Week 14 fantasy football?
Tony Pollard is the recommended running back to use in Week 14 fantasy football lineups over Najee Harris and Aaron Jones. He has the most favorable matchup of this trio of solid options, which significantly contributes to him being the preferred pick.
Sportskeeda's Who Should I Start tool predicts that Pollard will outscore Harris by nearly a fantasy point and score more than two additional fantasy points than Jones. His receiving projections are one of the biggest reasons why he is expected to record the most receptions and receiving yards of the group.
