SBR It 3 Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 I grabbed him in our Dynasty Rookie draft with the hope the Cowboys take a similar approach with Elliott that they took prior with Murray. Best case scenario he ends up being a feature back there in a coupe years. Not super likely, but I liked the potential upside. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hard1 2,466 Posted July 11, 2019 Author Share Posted July 11, 2019 Yeah despite the talk about him you have to just think he may only get handful of carries... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

True, but with all the carries Zeke gets he’s more likely to get injured then timeshare backs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah I agree... I'm actually shocked to read and hear things like this when zeke is their main guy... like really? You wanna possibly take him off the field.... remains to be seen...

affliction 2,172 Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 I think the Zeke deal eventually gets done but he is worth a late pick as of now Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KennyWoo 3,323 Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 Tony Pollard has a chance to provide real value in PPR leagues even if Zeke plays the whole season (which he probably will). He caught 75 passes in his last two seasons at Memphis and was probably the best kick returner in the nation. Dallas has been talking about ways to get him the ball. It could be all hype (some people are comparing him to Kamara, which is really ridiculous), but there's upside here, and then you throw on top of it the uncertainty of the Zeke situation and it adds a little something. As a last-round pick in a draft you could do worse, especially in deeper leagues and/or leagues that reward return yardage. In dynasty, look for him in the late 2nd round.

I suspect he'd be the most valuable guy to own, but he wouldn't just replace Zeke's workload. You really need to think of the value this guy can offer even if Elliott plays, and then think of that contingency as extra upside. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BUT i think the Cowboys view Pollard as more then just a Tavon type gadget. They have given him a LOT of work at RB and he's been working with the 1's the past few days. Overall, he's had a pretty nice camp early on. I think we would see Pollard take over almost all of the third down work and if he shows some juice, he could get early down work. I don't think Weber is ready or fits that type of role, and I'm doubtful Jackson makes the roster. Pollard's pass pro hasn't been great in camp, so thats def concerning. But I'm not surprised given his college history and use previously; and at this time i simply don't see a player fit for a third down role outside of Pollard. IF Zeke sits, Pollard is the only guy i'd consider rostering in redrafts as of today. He's the only player i view that would have any sort of upside. We should get a decent look at Pollard this preseason. Edited August 7, 2019 by BlakeP42 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We should get a decent look at Pollard this preseason. That's fair and you're right. We'll see with time. If I'm drafting today I don't touch him with a 10 foot pole though. I imagine his ADP going to continue to skyrocket because of the natural "what if" of fantasy football players. "Do you want this boat or what's in this mystery box? It might even be a boat" Bottom line he wasn't good enough to play consistent RB or WR in an AAC school. I'm a UH guy so I watched him some. He's a gadget guy to me. I honestly think he's a below average RB and WR and am frankly baffled he's seeing so much run right now. Alf is boring, but I'd take boring Alf in hopes of a 16 carry 64 yards and a TD game with maybe 1 reception for 7 yards. I get the temptation of the unknown though and won't fault anyone for going for it. I still am not convinced Zeke holds out though either. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nonstopfan 4,593 Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 Wonder why no one is talking about this guy. Sure, he is no Zeke, but the Cowboys have a great O-Line, and in my opinion need to run the ball. From a fantasy perspective, how is this guy still only going in the 14th round? He worked with the 1's yesterday in their first preseason game and while no back really impressed, he still looked solid including a nice little cut back run for a first down. http://www.nfl.com/videos/nfl-game-highlights/0ap3000001040780/Tony-Pollard-dances-up-the-middle-for-first-down 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CooL 3,264 Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 Is he this year's James Conner? All it takes is a double digit round pick or a free pick-up off waivers to find out... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nine9s 84 Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 (edited) Looks promising but all this media coverage, initiated by the Joneses, gives me pause. They are evidently wanting Elliot to get the message. Edited August 11, 2019 by nine9s Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CooL 3,264 Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 It may be a negotiating tactic as the Cowboys are the ones initiating all this talk and not the fantasy beatwriters, but don’t you think Zeke is smart enough to understand that? Somehow I don’t think Zeke cares. Roster this guy for free right now and cut before the season starts if the situation warrants it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
