BALLER MOVE: Start in 10+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: RB2
ANALYSIS: Well...it kind of feels like it's now or never for Tony Pollard and his fantasy managers. While many expected a superstar-making campaign for Pollard when Ezekiel Elliott left Dallas, the Cowboys' longtime backup running back has failed to fully capitalize on his role in the top spot.

Pollard has been given elite volume in 2023 -- his 135 carries are tied for the ninth-most in the NFL -- but he's failed to produce with the opportunities. He comes into a Week 11 matchup with the Carolina Panthers averaging a ho-hum 3.9 yards per carry and standing as the overall fantasy RB20 (PPR) through the first 10 weeks of the season.
The Dallas offense has leaned pass-heavy in recent weeks and found lots of success through the air. However, this is a prime breakout spot for Pollard and the 'Boys run game, as the Panthers have been consistently gashed on the ground in 2023. Carolina has allowed the NFL's most rushing TDs (13) to the RB position this season while relinquishing a chunky 4.63 yards per carry to opposing backs.
Frustrated Pollard managers have to start him in this dreamy matchup, but if he fails to produce in this spot, we could very well see an increase in fellow Cowboys running back Rico Dowdle's playing time during the backstretch of the season.
