Law 220 Posted August 16, 2023 I can only keep one if a PPR league. Barkley has proven it and is the total focal point of his offense, but he has an injury history. Pollard was gold in a more limited role. Can he hold up to more work? Thoughts? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
polecatt 403 Posted August 16, 2023 Barkley. He's just a more complete RB. He has more upside Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JagFan 97 Posted August 16, 2023 For me it’s Pollard. Projected O-Line rankings Dal 6, NYG 29. Yes, Barkley is the focal point of the offense, but Dal presents more scoring potential. Pollard looked explosive last year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Are there any round loss or penalties for keepers? If not then the obvious choice is Barkley. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He has more upside This is the right answer. it also is looking like the Cowboys are having line issues this year. I'm sure the holdout hasnt helped but the line has looked like a mess so far in pre season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kcBlitzkrieg 17 Posted August 16, 2023 pff has Pokes oline as #6 this year after injuries hit them last year.... Zack Martin is one of NFL's best interior lineman, just got a new deal..... other than Tryon always being banged up, what are these "issues" you see this year?

GobbleDog 816 Posted August 16, 2023 A true workhorse gets 300+ touches (carries and rec) a season. People are projecting that for Pollard and probably right to do so. If everything clicks he could finish Rb1. However the most touches Pollard has ever had in all four seasons was 239 last year. Maybe he can handle a true workhorse roll, maybe. Ya know who's proven he can handle that roll having done it multiple times and coming off 352 touches last year.?. Yeah, I'd stick with him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know Barkley has only had 300+ touches twice in 5 years, so I’m not sure who you’re referring to. After the first time he did it he only played 13, 2, and 13 games the following 3 seasons.

After the first time he did it he only played 13, 2, and 13 games the following 3 seasons. On pace for way over 300+ one of those 13 game seasons, would've been close in the other. Regardless, he's done it. People just expect Pollard to become a great workhorse back in his fifth season because... they hope he will. But there's some risk he just isn't that guy. Obviously Dallas thinks he is which is a great sign, but it's still unknown. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
weepaws 2,461 Posted August 16, 2023 I think Pollard could be rb1 after this next season, I think Barkley will be a high ranked rb1. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lostsoulny 2 Posted August 17, 2023 Similar question Barkely or Bijan redraft league but there are some keepers from last season so I know these 2 will be available for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bijan may be the better long term play. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
