From the episode

I'll say one, one player that I am very underweight on and it's kind of contrarian because there's a lot of big names in the space that are very high on him as a sort of a, a middle round running back pick... I have 1% Tony Pollard and last year I had 23%... you look at how he performed last year, specifically as a receiver, you know, as yards per hour run was really poor... He's not a young man anymore... he had pretty bad splits with Tajay Spears last year

STACKED’s take

Negative signalBust

Zachariason fades Pollard to 1% (from 23%) due to poor receiving splits and age.

JJ Zachariason is very underweight on Pollard (1% allocation vs. 23% last year) despite big names being high on him as a middle-round RB. Reasoning: poor receiving performance last year (yards per route run was really poor and has been declining for multiple seasons); bad splits with Tajay Spears when Spears was healthy; age concerns; and competition from Nick Singleton down the stretch. Zachariason prefers pass-catching backs like Dylan Sampson and Tajay Spears in the same range.
