Where should you draft Pollard?
Pollard’s fantasy value should get a boost this year with the Cowboys’ former starting RB Ezekiel Elliott now in New England. Pollard could be one of the few true 3-down backs in the NFL.
Pollard was typically used as a pass-catching back while Elliott was given the bulk of early-down work, or occasionally they would trade off drives. The workload is Pollard’s now. The Cowboys should have a dynamic offense, one that has additional receiving weapons as well.
Pollard is 26 years old, and this is expected to be his most productive season in the NFL by far. He has seen his receiving targets go up from 20 to 40 to 46 to 55 across his first 4 seasons, so his value in PPR formats will be significantly higher than in non-PPR settings as he should remain active in the passing game.
Draft Pollard slightly after Lamb and don’t let him fall out of the 2nd round in 10-team leagues. He has played in 15 or more games in all 4 seasons and has the potential to be a top-five or even top-three back in the NFL, especially in PPR formats. Feel free to take him higher than his current ADP.
