Tony Pollard was considered one of the top running backs in fantasy football heading into last season, even being a late first-round pick in some drafts. Unfortunately for fantasy managers who invested in him, he failed to meet expectations with an RB14 finish. Pollard saw his yards per rush average drop from 5.2 the previous season down to 4.0 in 2023, and he finished with just six touchdowns. That’s half of what he had produced the prior season.
Pollard is still relatively young entering his age-27 campaign, though, and he’s had a light workload in his career. In fact, he hadn’t had more than 130 carries in a single year before 2022. He’s also a pretty versatile runner out of the backfield, catching 55 passes on 67 targets last season. He had 39 catches in both 2021 and ‘22.
Now a free agent, here are five of the teams where Pollard would be best served, in terms of both real and fantasy football, as he enters his sixth NFL season.
