Tony Pollard Fantasy

Dallas Cowboys running back Tony Pollard (foot) practiced in full all week for the first time since he tore his plantar fascia on Dec. 2, and he will play in Sunday's wild-card game against the San Francisco 49ers. Pollard was rested in the Week 18 regular season finale last Saturday against the Philadelphia Eagles. "Tony looks great. I think definitely the time off helped him, too. Tony looks like he's back to 100%," head coach Mike McCarthy said. In three games played since his foot injury, Pollard is averaging 5.09 yards per carry on 23 attempts and 9.75 yards per catch on eight receptions (11 targets). He's been more efficient than Ezekiel Elliott this year and should continue to mix and match with Zeke in Dallas' backfield. The matchup against the 49ers isn't the greatest, but Pollard isn't a bad RB2 or flex in DFS lineups for wild-card weekend.

Dallas Cowboys running back Tony Pollard (foot) put in a full practice on Wednesday to begin the week. The Cowboys said earlier this week that Pollard would be good to go for the wild-card game against the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday, and his full practice on Wednesday mirrors that statement. Dallas held Pollard out of their Week 18 regular season finale last weekend as a precaution while he manages a torn plantar fascia in his foot that he suffered in Week 13. Pollard looked pretty healthy in his final three regular season games, though, totaling 31 touches for 195 scrimmage yards. He should continue mixing in behind Ezekiel Elliott and makes for a decent No. 2 DFS RB at his $5,300 price tag at DraftKings this weekend.

Dallas Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones said that running back Tony Pollard (foot) will be ready for the wild-card game against the San Francisco 49ers this weekend. "Absolutely. He'll be ready to roll," Jones said. Pollard was held out of the Week 18 regular season finale against the Philadelphia Eagles last Saturday as a precaution. The 24-year-old tore the plantar fascia in his foot in Week 13 but only ended up missing one game. In the three games after he returned, Pollard had 23 rushing attempts for 117 yards (5.09 yards per carry) and caught eight of 11 targets for 78 yards, and he didn't appear to be compromised physically. Expect him to continue splitting the workload with Ezekiel Elliott against the 49ers, giving him RB3/flex upside.
