Who Should I Start? Tony Pollard or Devon Achane

Sunday, October 1, 8:12 PM

Dallas Cowboys running back Tony Pollard had a mediocre game in a Week 4 win over the New England Patriots. With the Cowboys defense dominating throughout, the Cowboys didn't need to run their best plays with their best players on offense, ending up with Pollard taking just 11 carries for 47 scoreless yards. He added three catches for 13 yards on three targets. There were 15 other running plays out of the Cowboys backfield that didn't involve Pollard. Week 5 should be a closer game against the San Francisco 49ers, making Pollard a likely RB1 in that matchup.

Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane took eight carries for 101 yards and two touchdowns with three catches for 19 yards in Week 4's 48-20 loss to the Buffalo Bills. Achane picked up right where he left off from last Sunday's outburst, hitting paydirt on his first two touches with both seeing Tyreek Hill act as a decoy. But as both offenses calmed after scoring five touchdowns on the game's first five drives, so did Achane's usage. The speedy rookie was still able to show off his wheels on a neat 55-yard run in the face of the rout. Achane out-touched Raheem Mostert (who fumbled twice Sunday) 11-10, which is a promising sight for those who broke the FAAB bank to claim him off waiver wires. It remains to be seen what kind of role Miami has in store for Jeff Wilson Jr. (ribs), who might be on the cusp of a return. Achane's weekly home-run potential should keep him in RB2 territory, regardless.
