Pollard's TD spike is an outlier; brutal schedule makes him a sell-high candidate.

Pollard's three-touchdown performance in Week 7 is much more likely to be an outlier than a sign of things to come; he was outside the top 30 fantasy running backs in four of his first six games. The schedule ahead is brutal: the Bengals allow the fourth-fewest fantasy points to running backs, followed by a bye week, then the Jaguars who allow the second-fewest fantasy points to running backs. The Titans play the Jaguars again in Week 12, making Pollard virtually unusable for four of the next five weeks. While leaguemates will see only one good game, Pollard can still be sold as part of a package deal.
