Tony Pollard (RB, DAL) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues

OWNED IN: 23% of leagues

ANALYSIS: After another exciting week in the NFL, it's time to look at the waiver wire for some players we can pick up. We all know just how valuable a handcuff can be in fantasy football, and Tony Pollard is one of the top handcuffs you can own. Ezekiel Elliott is currently the RB11 in PPR scoring formats, prior to the Monday Night Football matchup between the Browns and the 49ers. Elliott is without a doubt one of the most talented running backs in the league, and the Dallas offensive line is one of the best, even after losing some key pieces in the past offseason.

Pollard has just under 30 PPR points on the season and is the RB46 in PPR scoring leagues. If you can afford the roster spot, he is one of the most valuable handcuffs to own in fantasy football. We've all seen what happens late in the NFL season when a stud running back goes down to an unfortunate injury or something keeping him off the field, and Pollard is someone worth owning for that purpose alone. By himself, he hasn't been valuable or worth starting by any means, but if something were to happen to Elliott, Pollard would be a game-changer. If you can afford the roster spot, stash him wherever you can.
