News

  • Back to full participation

    Pollard (ankle) practiced fully Thursday, David Helman of the Cowboys' official site reports.

    Analysis: Pollard opened the week with a cap on his reps, but his ability to handle every rep Thursday paves the way for him to return to action Sunday against the Rams following a one-game absence. Working behind Ezekiel Elliott, Pollard likely is in line for the four touches per game he received in the nine games prior to his Week 14 DNP.

  • Practices in limited fashion

    Pollard (ankle) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Analysis: Pollard sat out the Week 14 loss to the Bears due to an ankle injury but appears to be trending in the right direction for Sunday's tilt against the Rams. The rookie fourth-round pick will have two more opportunities to increase his practice activity and avoid an injury tag entirely for Week 15. If he's indeed cleared to play this weekend, Pollard will reprise his usual backup role behind Ezekiel Elliott.

  • Likely to return Week 15

    Coach Jason Garrett said Pollard (ankle) "should be able to play" in the Cowboys' next game Dec. 15 against the Rams, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Analysis: After failing to practice Tuesday and Wednesday due to an ankle issue, Pollard didn't suit up Thursday in Chicago, leaving the backfield solely in the hands of starter Ezekiel Elliott. It was notable that fullback Jamize Olawale didn't get a single carry and was targeted just once on his 11 offensive snaps, despite the potential opportunity at hand. If Pollard returns to action Week 15, he likely will be afforded his typical handful of touches.

  • Not available Thursday

    Pollard (ankle) is listed as inactive Thursday at Chicago, David Helman of the Cowboys' official site reports.

    Analysis: Pollard ended Week 14 prep in a precarious position, being held out Tuesday and Wednesday due to an ankle injury. Despite the Cowboys not bolstering the backfield prior to kickoff, the team has opted to keep Pollard in street clothes. As a result, FB Jamize Olawale is the only back available to the offense aside from workhorse Ezekiel Elliott.

  • Status in question for Thursday

    Pollard (ankle) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game in Chicago, Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Analysis: Pollard didn't make an appearance on the Cowboys' Week 14 injury report until Tuesday, capping it with back-to-back absences from practice. After Ezekiel Elliott, fullback Jamize Olawale is the only other backfield option on the Cowboys' 53-man roster, so the team would show its hand with Pollard if it makes an addition to the backfield before Thursday's kickoff.

  • Added to injury report

    Pollard (ankle) didn't practice Tuesday, Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Analysis: Pollard was added to the Cowboys' Week 14 injury report Tuesday, so his status for Thursday's game against the Bears will be worth monitoring. Pollard remains firmly behind Ezekiel Elliott on the Cowboys' running back depth chart, which limits his fantasy ceiling, but he does remain useful as an insurance policy in the event that Elliott suffers an injury down the stretch.

  • Can't do much in rain

    Pollard carried the ball four times for 19 yards and caught three of four targets for nine yards in Sunday's loss to the Patriots.

    Analysis: The weather was miserable in Foxborough, and while Pollard saw his highest touch volume since he got eight carries Week 7 against the Eagles, the rookie wasn't able to turn them into much yardage. With his role increasing, however, Pollard could have some big-play potential in Week 13's home tilt against the Bills.

  • Scores first receiving TD

    Pollard carried the ball twice for 12 yards and caught all four of his targets for 44 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's win over the Lions. He also added a two-point conversion.

    Analysis: The rookie running back had his best game yet as a pass catcher and topped 50 scrimmage yards for the first time since his huge Week 3 performance against Miami. Pollard remains firmly behind Ezekiel Elliott on the depth chart, but if offensive coordinator Kellen Moore is committed to getting the dynamic back more touches, Pollard could have deep-league value down the stretch.

  • Barely involved in Sunday's loss

    Pollard lost four yards on his only carry in Sunday's loss to the Vikings.

    Analysis: The rookie RB saw only three snaps on offense, a somewhat surprising number given how little success Ezekiel Elliott was having. Since his huge performance against Miami in Week 3, Pollard hasn't topped 30 scrimmage yards in a game, and his only fantasy utility at this point is as Elliott's handcuff.

  • Involved early in win

    Polland carried the ball three times for 21 yards and caught one of three targets for nine yards in Monday's win over the Giants.

    Analysis: Surprisingly, the Cowboys' No. 2 RB saw some early red-zone touches rather than being used later in the game to give Ezekiel Elliott a breather, but after Pollard dropped a screen pass that could have resulted in a TD, he was mostly relegated to the bench once again. The rookie now has 230 rushing yards with an impressive 4.8 YPC and one TD on the year, while catching five of seven targets for 37 yards.

  • Another quiet performance

    Pollard carried the ball eight times for 28 yards in Sunday's win over the Eagles.

    Analysis: The eight touches represented his biggest workload since his Week 3 explosion against the Dolphins, but they still didn't lead to much production. Pollard can be explosive, but unless Ezekiel Elliott gets hurt his minimal usage doesn't offer much fantasy value.

  • Gets just three rushes Sunday

    Pollard had three carries for 13 yards during Sunday's 24-22 road defeat to the Jets.

    Analysis: After the Cowboys' Week 5 loss to the Packers, Pollard dealt with knee and ankle injuries, but his practice reps weren't affected, and he entered this past weekend without a designation. Still, he didn't make much headway on the ground for a third consecutive game behind workhorse Ezekiel Elliott, who received 28 totes and six targets Sunday. Without an injury to Elliott, Pollard will have difficulty making more than a negligible mark in the box score most weeks.

  • Practices in full

    Pollard (knee/ankle) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Pollard came out of Sunday's loss to the Packers nursing a pair of injuries, but it appears both issues are minor and don't threaten his availability for the Week 6 game against the Jets. The rookie hasn't seen much work behind Ezekiel Elliot in the past two games, so he doesn't possess much appeal for fantasy purposes beyond being a high-upside backup.

  • Banged up heading into Week 6

    In the aftermath of Sunday's loss to the Packers, Pollard is dealing with knee and ankle issues, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Analysis: That said, the running back should be able to practice this week, suggesting that neither ailment is viewed as a major concern. Pollard logged just five snaps on offense Week 5, while rushing four times for 19 yards. With two straight quiet statistical weeks in the books, Pollard is off the fantasy radar for now, and it would probably take an injury to Ezekiel Elliott for that to change.

  • Usage dries up

    Pollard played two offensive snaps and didn't have a touch in Sunday's 12-10 loss to the Saints.

    Analysis: After turning 16 touches into 128 yards in Week 3's win over the Dolphins, Pollard vanished in the primetime matchup. Ezekiel Elliott rushed 18 times for 35 yards and a touchdown and caught six of seven targets for 30 yards in this contest while playing 56 of 58 possible snaps, shaping up as the bell cow the Cowboys need him to be. Pollard's usage over the first three weeks looks like it was a mirage due to Elliott missing the entire preseason and the blowout win over hapless Miami, so his…read more

  • Explodes for 128 scrimmage yards

    Pollard carried 13 times for 103 yards and a touchdown Sunday against the Dolphins. He also caught three passes for 25 additional yards in the 31-6 win.

    Analysis: Pollard tied his career high of 13 carries in a game his team was heavily favored in, responding with an impressive 7.9 yards per carry as he repeatedly gashed the Miami defense. He scored his first NFL touchdown on a 16-yard run in the fourth quarter and also showed his ability as a pass-catcher out of the backfield. Pollard has already touched the ball 34 times through three games and seems to have carved out a legitimate role as a change-of-pace option behind Ezekiel Elliott. Game flow will…read more

  • Workload shrinks

    Pollard carried the ball four times for 22 yards and caught his only target for three yards in Sunday's win over Washington.

    Analysis: With Ezekiel Elliott taking on his usual workload (25 total touches), there wasn't much left over for Pollard. He did find the end zone on a three-yard run in the third quarter while Elliott was getting a breather, but the touchdown was wiped out by a holding penalty. The fact that the Cowboys were comfortable using Pollard in the red zone is encouraging, but unless something happens to Elliott, the rookie's fantasy value will be minimal.

  • Makes little impact in debut

    Pollard carried the ball 13 times for 24 yards in Sunday's 35-17 win over the Giants.

    Analysis: The rookie wound up seeing the same number of carries as Ezekiel Elliott, but Pollard wasn't able to do much with his touches as his longest run went for only six yards. Elliott's workload will only increase moving forward, so Pollard will need to show the same kind of electricity he did in the preseason if he wants to retain any kind of significant role in the offense.

  • Conflicting reports on workload

    Pollard is slated to serve as the top backup to starting tailback Ezekiel Elliott in Sunday's game against the Giants, but the extent of the rookie's role in the Week 1 game plan is uncertain. Ian Rapoport of NFL Network relays that Elliott is expected to play around 20-to-25 snaps, while a source tells Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com that the veteran will handle a "normal" workload.

    Analysis: Even if Rapoport's report proves more accurate of the two, Elliott would still make for a solid universal lineup play in season-long formats, but Pollard's fantasy viability would vary more wildly based on Elliott's usage. If Elliott is on tap for a 20-to-25-snap role, Pollard might still have a path to around 10 touches, which would keep him on the radar in deeper leagues. If Raanan's prediction comes to pass, however, little work would likely be left over for Pollard, as Elliott never played…read more

  • May be on tap for small role

    Pollard may be in line for a more limited role than initially anticipated Sunday against the Giants with top back Ezekiel Elliott expected to handle a "normal" workload, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Pollard's fantasy value took a major hit when Elliott inked a six-year, $90 million contract extension earlier this week, but the rookie was still expected to have a fairly prominent role in the Cowboys' Week 1 game plan since the veteran missed all of training camp and the preseason while holding out. Earlier reports suggested that Elliott would likely only be in line for around 20-to-25 snaps, but the Cowboys have seemingly been satisfied enough with his fitness after three practices to…read more

  • Set for backup role

    Pollard enters the regular season as the top backup to Ezekiel Elliott, who is expected to be available Week 1 against the Giants after reaching a six-year contract extension with the Cowboys on Wednesday, Jane Slater of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Pollard could still be looking at a significant role during the regular-season opener, as Elliott only expected to play about 20-to-25 snaps after missing training camp and the preseason, according to Slater. Once Elliott answers any concerns about his conditioning, he'll presumably reclaim the overwhelming share of backfield snaps for Dallas, leaving few left over for Pollard. At the point, the rookie fourth-round pick could still end up making an impact for Dallas as a gadget player, slot…read more

  • Seen as every-down back

    Coach Jason Garrett said Monday that he's confident in Pollard "as a runner, protector and receiver," Jane Slater of NFL Network reports. "Nothing feels too big for him," Garrett added. "He's been with the 1's a lot."

    Analysis: As mentioned by Garrett, Pollard has been working with the first-team offense during the entirety of Ezekiel Elliott's holdout. Overall, Pollard totaled 15 carries for 84 yards and one TD while hauling in all three targets for 19 yards across three preseason appearances. Such production indicates he'll be able to handle a three-down workload as long as Elliott remains away from the team. If the impasse with Elliott ends and he returns to the Cowboys, owner Jerry Jones has expressed that Elliott…read more

  • Totals 36 scrimmage yards

    Pollard gained 26 yards on six carries and added two catches for 10 yards during Saturday's preseason game against the Texans.

    Analysis: Pollard averaged a respectable 4.3 yards per carry and looked especially explosive on a 20-yard carry in the first quarter. He also added a pair of five-yard receptions before taking a seat in the second period. The exciting rookie has certainly caught some eyes during the preseason and seems to be the likeliest option to step into a prominent role during the duration of Ezekiel Elliott's holdout. Should it extend into the regular season, Pollard would be poised to start in Week 1 against the…read more

  • Carries load on lone drive

    Pollard carried five times for 42 yards and a touchdown while catching his lone target for a nine-yard gain during Saturday's 14-10 preseason win over the Rams.

    Analysis: Pollard got the start but only participated on one drive, a 97-yard march by the Dallas offense. He was especially impressive on his 14-yard touchdown run, exploding through the hole and lowering his shoulder to punch his way in. Pollard has drawn rave reviews during camp and finally showed what he's capable of after a solid, albeit unspectacular, preseason debut. Ezekiel Elliott's contract holdout continues to dominate the headlines, so at the very least, Pollard makes for a nice contingency…read more

  • Starts in preseason opener

    Pollard carried four times for 16 yards in Saturday's 17-9 preseason loss to the 49ers.

    Analysis: After making waves early in camp, Pollard earned the start with the first-team offense. He began their initial drive with a six-yard burst and carried three more times to help his side to a field goal. Pollard came out of college with a reputation as an impactful pass catcher, so perhaps the only real disappointment from this outing is that he didn't receive a single target. Still, Pollard seems to have caught the eye of his coaching staff and could get more work next Saturday against the Rams.…read more

  • Could start Saturday

    Pollard worked with the first-team offense during Thursday's practice and could get the start in the preseason opener Saturday against the 49ers, Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Analysis: The recently signed Alfred Morris is also expected to see action, as should Darius Jackson, but Pollard's impressive showing in camp so far has the rookie looking like he can be a big part of the Cowboys' backfield picture in the event Ezekiel Elliott's holdout drags on into the regular season. If Pollard is able to flash his speed and power Saturday, he could catapult into the No. 2 spot on the RB depth chart.

  • Shining in camp

    Pollard has been one of the standout players of training camp for the Cowboys so far, David Moore of the Dallas Morning News reports. "[Pollard is] one of the most exciting players to me of this training camp,'' quarterback Dak Prescott said this week. "The things that he's been able to do running the ball, catching the ball out of the backfield. He's making plays."

    Analysis: The fourth-round pick out of Memphis has not only been able to showcase his speed and physicality on both offense and special teams, he's drawn significant praise for how quickly he's sponged up the playbook. Pollard's actual role and workload in new coordinator Kellen Moore's offense remains unclear, but if Ezekiel Elliott's holdout extends into the regular season, Pollard could be a lot more than just a replacement for Tavon Austin on jet sweeps and gadget plays.
