Should Ezekiel Elliott miss any time, Pollard projects as a top-12 back in those weeks.īut his poor performance in BB points is a red flag, especially when we consider his role in Dallas' offense. I'll continue to draft him given what we know about his talent and situation. Nevertheless, this isn't meant to scare anybody off of Pollard. Pollard was the RB37 in PPR per game (10.8). Let this also serve as a cautionary tale on why it's best to look at player production on a points per game basis rather than a yearly total. Of the 15 games Pollard appeared in last season, he surpassed the 11.9 point threshold just three times and never had a true breakout game - his best performance came in Week 10 vs.
To the surprise of myself (and perhaps others reading this), I have drastically misremembered Pollard's 2021 season, which included over 1,000 yards from scrimmage and 39 receptions. Only David Johnson and Mike Davis had a worse ranking differential (tied -27). The problem is the ranking differential for Pollard (PPR rank minus BB points rank) is -18, which ranks third worst in this group. In essence, he's still better than half the group. After all, he's being measured against a field of 94 other backs. His RB46 ranking in BB points doesn't sound terrible on the surface. Last season, Pollard finished as the RB28 in total PPR points (pretty good) and as the RB46 in BB points (pretty bad). I'm devastated to know that within these charts lies one of my favorite best ball targets this season in Tony Pollard. In the same way, I looked at the difference in player rankings in the wide receiver article, I want to do the same here. Kupp had 12.3 better in best ball points (BB points) in Week 1 last season. In Week 1, Cooper Kupp scored 23.8 PPR points. In Hayden's article, "better in best ball points" for wide receivers were found by subtracting the average point total for the WR36 from any weekly output that exceeded that.Įxample: Average point total for WR36 in 2021 was 11.5.

NOTE: Weekly PPR finishes are courtesy of Pro Football Focus. But if they did I'd want to know which ones are best for my fantasy teams. The lack of roster management is why I love best ball. All I need to do is draft the right players. In your ordinary redraft league it can be quite burdensome figuring out who to start each week, but this is best ball, baby.
#Another word for running back crack#
Instead, give me those late-round guys with upside who randomly crack my lineup any given week, devastating my opponent. Guys like Derrick Henry, Jonathan Taylor and Austin Ekeler - who all finished top-three in BB points per game - are of little interest to me. With wide receiver now covered, it's time to take a look at better in best ball running backs.Īs a drafter whose brain has been broken by Zero RB, I often find myself shying away from elite backs.
