Deep dives

Tony Pollard has strong upside due to increased workload and potential goal-line usage

Tony Pollard has the potential to have a strong season due to an increased workload and potential goal-line usage. With the departure of Ezekiel Elliott, Pollard is expected to see more opportunities in both the running game and as a receiver. While he may not match Elliott's previous workload, Pollard has shown he can handle a bigger role when given the opportunity. With his explosive playmaking ability and an offense that should produce points, Pollard has the potential to provide strong fantasy production at a relatively affordable cost.
