The running back position doesn’t have a ton of superstars available on the free agent market, but there are a few names of interest … including Tony Pollard. He’s coming off a career season, posting 39 catches, 1,378 scrimmage yards and 12 touchdowns. That was good enough for him to finish with 248.8 fantasy points.
Unfortunately, Pollard suffered a fractured left fibula in the Cowboys’ postseason loss to the San Francisco 49ers that will reportedly have a recovery timeline of at least three months. That could affect his value as an unrestricted free agent.
The most likely scenario is that Pollard remains with the Cowboys, whether it's via a new contract or the franchise tag, and most of us would agree that it's among his best (or the best) landing spots. But where else would Pollard retain the most fantasy value if he didn’t remain in Dallas? This doesn’t have anything to do with salary caps, money, etc., but it’s more about his overall fantasy appeal.
Here are five teams that could have a need at running back and would be interesting spots for Pollard to land in 2023. Let's start things off in Kansas City.
