Pollard's 0.50 PPT is dead last among 40 RBs with 50+ touches; avoid despite volume.

Pollard is a bust despite high volume, ranking RB38 in fantasy points per game (7.88 in half-PPR) despite being tied for 17th in running back touches and seeing at least 14 touches in five straight games. He's scored fewer than eight points in four of six games with an absolute ceiling of just 12.0 points (Week 4). Among 40 running backs with at least 50 touches, Pollard's 0.50 fantasy points per touch is dead last, just below Skattebo (0.51). Entering a matchup with the Browns, who allow the second-fewest fantasy points per game to the position (14.23), Pollard would almost certainly need a touchdown to crack double digits, but he has just one touchdown all season playing in the league's least threatening offense. The name and role create a false floor impression, but 10-15 inefficient touches won't produce starting-lineup value.
