From the article

If there's any week to trust Pollard as a clear fantasy RB2, it's one in which three top-20 running backs in terms of fantasy points per game (RB1 Jahmyr Gibbs, RB17 Aaron Jones Sr., RB18 Chase Brown) are on bye and where he gets to face one of the league's struggling run defenses. The Colts just got pummeled for 36.8 fantasy points by Jaylen Warren in Week 5, meaning they've surrendered two of the position's five best single-game scores this season. They've also allowed the fourth-most points per rushing attempt and the third-most points per target to running backs, giving Pollard multiple potential avenues to success.

Pollard is a clear RB2 play vs. Colts' league-worst run defense.

Pollard faces the Colts, who have given up two of the five best scores to running backs this season and just surrendered 36.8 fantasy points to Jaylen Warren in Week 5. The Colts have allowed the fourth-most points per rushing attempt and third-most points per target to running backs, giving Pollard multiple avenues to success. With three top-20 RBs on bye (Gibbs, Jones, Brown), this is an ideal week to trust Pollard as a clear fantasy RB2.
