Fantasy Football Start/Sit Advice: Start or Sit Tony Pollard?

Tony Pollard: Pollard is the RB26 in fantasy points per game and an upside RB3 this week. Excluding a disappointing Week 1, Pollard is ninth in yards after contact per attempt, 14th in breakaway rate, and 17th in PFF’s elusive rating (minimum ten carries). Over the last two games, he has averaged 13 touches and 101.5 total yards. In those last two contests, he’s out-touched Elliott inside the 20 while seeing a 13.3% target share. If Pollard doesn’t get it done on the ground this week, he can through the air. Washington is 18th in DVOA against pass-catching backs with the most receiving touchdowns.
