Pollard could be RB2 again if Ward provides decent QB play; Cleveland's run defense is vulnerable.

Since Week 2, Pollard has been RB34 in fantasy points per game, averaging 17.4 touches and 67.8 total yards with two RB2 weekly finishes (RB16, RB24). Over his last five games, he has a 56.9% snap rate, 68.4% of rushing work, 30.6% route share, and 5.5% target share. Among 39 qualifying backs, he ranks 15th in yards after contact per attempt and 21st in explosive run rate. Cleveland's run defense is vulnerable, allowing the second-highest explosive run rate, 12th-highest rushing success rate, fourth-most yards after contact per attempt, and sixth-highest missed tackle rate. If Cam Ward provides decent quarterback play to move the offense, Pollard could return to RB2 status this week.
