Tony Pollard predictably gets a boost in the rankings after scoring three touchdowns against the Browns last week. But Pollard had only one touchdown in his first six games and was RB25 in half-point PPR scoring before the TD spree against Cleveland. Now he gets a matchup against a vastly improved Bengals defense that ranks seventh in DVOA vs. the run.

Pollard's pre-TD baseline was RB25; Bengals' seventh-ranked run DVOA makes him a fade.

Pat Fitzmaurice warns that Tony Pollard predictably gets a boost in rankings after scoring three touchdowns against the Browns last week, but before that TD spree he had only one touchdown in his first six games and was RB25 in half-point PPR scoring. Now he gets a matchup against a vastly improved Bengals defense that ranks seventh in DVOA vs. the run, with Dexter Lawrence dwelling inside where it's especially hard to run. Fitzmaurice questions whether Pollard should be an auto-start this week.
