Week 9 at Philadelphia Eagles
Tony Pollard continues to underwhelm in fantasy, despite playing on a healthy number of snaps and seeing a good number of opportunities. In a game that quickly became a blowout against the Rams, Pollard was held to 53 yards on 12 rushing attempts, and caught his solitary target for two yards. His 53 yards on the ground were his most since Week 3, and he hasn’t scored a touchdown since the opening week of the season. Pollard had just six points in Half-PPR scoring against the Rams, and is averaging just 12.16 this season.
Things are not likely to get a lot easier for Pollard this week, with a matchup against the Eagles on the slate. No team has been less welcoming to fantasy running backs than the Eagles this year, as evidenced by their ranking first in aFPA to the position. You are certainly not dropping Pollard, but you shouldn’t expect a ceiling above a high-end RB2 this week.
