Tony Pollard is a 2023 fantasy football draft sleeper at running back and an ADP draft value. Target Pollard as an undervalued RB in fantasy football drafts.
BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~9 Overall
CURRENT ADP: ~17
ANALYSIS:
The former Memphis star was a popular breakout candidate last season despite Ezekiel Elliott being the number one running back. Tony Pollard had an ADP outside the top-24 running backs but became a league winner. He was the RB7, averaging 14.3 half-point PPR fantasy points per game. Furthermore, he had 12 scrimmage touchdowns last season after totaling 10 career touchdowns entering the year. Pollard was a home run threat.
Despite having fewer rushing attempts than Elliott, Pollard finished third in the NFL in breakaway runs (17) and fourth in breakaway run rate (8.8%). Furthermore, the 26-year-old was fourth in yards per route run (1.82) and eighth in yards created per touch (3.3) among running backs.
Last year, Elliott had 231 rushing attempts and 12 touchdowns. While Pollard won’t receive all those rushing attempts, the star running back has overall RB1 upside this season.
