Fantasy Football Player Notes

Tony Pollard has turned in his two best games of the season over the last two weeks with a 56.3% snap rate, 20 touches, and 135.5 total yards per game. He was the RB2 and RB11 in weekly scoring. Since Week 14, Pollard has churned out a 10.3% explosive run rate and a 15% missed tackle rate. In those two games, he has had a combined two targets and one reception, so don't expect much passing game usage this week. Pollard will need a ton of volume this week to pay off for fantasy against one of the best run defenses in the NFL. Since Week 11, Kansas City has allowed the 11th-lowest explosive run rate, the fifth-lowest missed tackle rate, and the second-fewest yards after contact per attempt.
