From the episode
I like Pollard this week only because it is a gross game. The spread is close. He's getting a crap ton of early down work. Like since week two, he's averaging 17.4 touches per game. He's quietly been very good with the work he's gotten. Like amongst 39 qualifying backs, he's 15th in yards after contact per attempt.
STACKED’s take
Positive signalMatchup
Pollard's 17.4 touches/game and elite YAC rank him above consensus for Week 7.
Pollard is ranked RB20 in half-PPR for Week 7, one spot above consensus (RB21). The source likes him this week specifically because of the gross game environment (low 37.5 total, close spread) and his consistent early-down work: averaging 17.4 touches per game since Week 2. Among 39 qualifying backs, he ranks 15th in yards after contact per attempt. The Browns' run defense is bottom-12 in rushing success rate, bottom-5 in explosive run rate and yards after contact per attempt. If Pollard gets 15-17 carries for 80 yards, a catch or two, and a touchdown, he projects as a strong RB2.
