Multiple running backs should have a bump in touches on Sunday if Jamaal Williams and Aaron Jones aren’t at full strength. The main focus for contending fantasy teams is the health of Tony Pollard. His second-half success was critical to the Cowboys’ rise up the standings.
Tony Pollard, Dallas Cowboys
A thigh issue landed Pollard on the injury list this week. Dallas plays on a short week, but the Cowboys expect him to suit up against the Titans. I don’t expect him to do much in practice before Thursday.
Jamaal Williams, Detroit Lions
Over the past three weeks, Williams gained only 81 yards on 23 carries (2.3 yards per rush) with no touchdowns. Last Sunday, he suffered a lower leg injury, which looked severe enough for him to sit out this week’s matchup. D’Andre Swift and Justin Jackson should have a nice bump in touches this week if he doesn’t play.
