Dallas Cowboys running back Tony Pollard's production plummeted as the team's lead back in 2023, but The Athletic's Saad Yousuf thinks the Cowboys don't need to rule out the possibility of bringing Pollard back in 2024 in free agency. Despite his disappointing season as a whole, Pollard was also coming back from a serious leg injury last year. However, he may have proved that he can't be relied on to be a workhorse. If a bidding war breaks out for the 26-year-old, though, the Cowboys won't be expected to consider bringing him back. After earning a Pro Bowl nod in 2022, Pollard averaged a career-low 4.0 yards per carry on a career-high 252 rushing attempts for 1,005 yards and six touchdowns in 2023, adding a career-high 55 catches for 311 yards through the air. Pollard may not have been back to full health until December. Where he ends up in 2024 will ultimately determine his fantasy value.
Dallas Cowboys running back Tony Pollard scored a rushing touchdown in the first week of the playoffs against the Green Bay Packers. Pollard ran the ball 15 times, picking up 56 yards and scoring a touchdown on a one-yard run in the third quarter. He also saw nine targets in the passing game, gaining 29 yards on seven catches. It was a very up-and-down season for Pollard in his first season as the Cowboys lead back, where he was widely drafted as a surefire RB1 but ended up disappearing often even in good matchups. The Dallas backfield will be interesting to follow throughout the offseason.
Dallas Cowboys running back Tony Pollard has a good matchup against the Green Bay Packers on Wild Card Weekend. Pollard ended his first regular season as the Cowboys lead back with 1,005 rushing yards and six touchdowns, wrapping up with a 16 fantasy point performance in Week 18, good for an RB12 finish. Pollard had an up-and-down season, finishing as a fantasy RB1 six times, but outside of the top-30 six times as well. In what should be a high-scoring game, Pollard is one of the safer options in the first round of the playoffs.
Dallas Cowboys running back Tony Pollard scored a touchdown in a Week 18 blowout win over the Washington Commanders. Pollard ran the ball 17 times, gaining 70 yards and scoring his touchdown on a goal line run in the second quarter. Pollard was also targeted twice in the passing game, making two catches for 16 more yards. It was a solid game for Pollard, who ceded 12 touches to his backup, Rico Dowdle, once the game was firmly in hand. Pollard, Dowdle, and the rest of the Cowboys will host the Green Bay Packers next week for the first round of the playoffs.
Dallas Cowboys running back Tony Pollard will look for a strong end to the season in a Week 18 game against the Washington Commanders. Pollard has had some solid moments but it's been an overall disappointing season for the Cowboys lead back. Still, the Commanders run defense hasn't done much of anything lately, allowing the third-most rushing yards and fourth-most rushing touchdowns since Week 12. Despite his up-and-down season, Pollard will come in as a low-end RB1 in the regular season's final game.
