Pollard is coming off a week where he was the overall RB1 in PPR formats, but that won't continue vs. the Bengals. Surprisingly, the Bengals have only allowed 18.5 PPR points per game to running backs, which is the third-fewest in the NFL. Before last week, Pollard's highest weekly finish was RB16, and his average over the first six games was RB31; call me crazy, but finishing as RB1 is the clear outlier here. He has a very limited role in the passing game, which limits his upside, and it will put him back in the RB20 range this week.
