BALLER MOVE: Cash Game Play
DRAFTKINGS DFS SALARY: $6,300
ANALYSIS: Tony Pollard's price and stranglehold on touches make him a near must-play in DFS cash contests this week. Despite rushing for 93 yards and a touchdown last week against the Colts, Pollard's price only increased a few hundred dollars.
While the Bills are a top-10 run defense, they're dead last in production to backs as receivers. And now that Pollard's competition for touches has been ruled out (Tyjae Spears), we can feel pretty confident that Pollard will be a three-down back this week against Buffalo.
No one mentions #TitanUp RB Tony Pollard when you think of workhorses.
He had 90% snap share once teammate Tyjae Spears was ruled out.

Pollard was already the goal line back and now he will be getting even more quality touches as a pass-catcher. Pollard is averaging nearly four targets per game and should soak up additional targets that are being vacated by Spears (three per game) as well.
The volume that Pollard should get this week makes it hard to pass up at his price, and we know Tennessee is going to do everything they can to get him going and avoid having Will Levis attempt too many extra throws.
