Dak Prescott, Dallas Cowboys stake claim as contenders with big win over Eagles

Gets 12 touches Pollard rushed 11 times for 60 yards in Monday night's 41-21 win over the Eagles. He also caught his lone target for five yards.

Impact Pollard, fresh off a 140-yard outburst in Week 2, was a nice complement to starter Ezekiel Elliott in the first half, when the Cowboys' offense line dominated up front. Although Elliott had two rushing touchdowns by halftime, Pollard still ran 10 times for 56 yards. Despite that production and a comfortable lead, however, Pollard wasn't used much in the second half, capping his overall output. While Elliott's star presence should usually limit Pollard's upside, he's proven to be a valued contributor to Dallas' offense the past couple games, giving him decent utility ahead of Week 4's matchup versus the Panthers.

Erupts for 140 yards in win Pollard carried the ball 13 times for 109 yards and a touchdown and caught all three of his targets for 31 yards in Sunday's 20-17 win over the Chargers.

Impact After the Cowboys' running game got bottled up by the Bucs in Week 1, offensive coordinator Kellen Moore made a point of getting his ground game going in this one. While Ezekiel Elliott led the team with 16 carries, it was Pollard who led in rushing yards, and he scored his first TD of the season on a four-yard plunge midway through the first quarter. Zeke remains the unquestioned starter, but if Pollard continues to capitalize on his opportunities, double-digit touches could become the norm for him. The third-year back's big performance will give the Eagles' defense something else to think about heading into a Week 3 clash back in Dallas.

Seven touches in opener Pollard carried the ball three times for 14 yards and caught all four of his targets for 29 yards in a Week 1 loss to the Buccaneers.

Impact Coach Mike McCarthy stated in the offseason that the Cowboys would look to reduce Ezekiel Elliott's workload early in the year, and while that came to pass in the team's opener, it didn't result in a big increase in touches for Pollard. Facing one of the toughest front sevens in the NFL likely also played a role in Dallas not utilizing its backfield very much. Both RBs have a more favorable matchup Week 2 against a Chargers defense that just gave up 108 yards from scrimmage to Antonio Gibson, but as long as Elliott is healthy, Pollard's week-to-week fantasy value will be limited.

Looks good Saturday Pollard rushed for 20 yards on five carries while catching both his targets for 16 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's preseason loss to the Texans.

Impact Getting the start once again as Ezekiel Elliott gets saved for the regular season, Pollard scored the Cowboys' first TD of the game late in the first quarter on an eight-yard screen pass from Cooper Rush. The third-year running back saw 129 touches last season as the No. 2 option in the backfield, but Pollard could see that number increase in 2021 even if Elliott stays healthy, as the coaching staff seems intent on reducing Zeke's workload.
