The fantasy football world is smiling on the Dallas Cowboys for a change. And it’s reasonable to think this is good news even for Cowboys fans who don’t play...

was the 15th running back taken last year as he headed toward his Dallas finish line, Pollard went sixth and I can make the case for him going as high as second among backs. The 49ers’ Christian McCaffrey is listed first, and the man missed 23 games in the 2020-21 seasons. Tread lightly.

The Chargers’ Austin Ekeler, in the final season of a contentious contract struggle, is second and he’s still a fine player but who knows. Cleveland’s Nick Chubb is probably the most solid pick at the No. 3 spot since the Browns figure to improve with a full year from Deshaun Watson, but Chubb is really not part of the passing game. Atlanta’s Bijan Robinson is fourth andAdvertisement

The Giants’ Saquon Barkley went fifth in our draft, but Pollard’s ADP is higher and I would say he has more upside right now. We’re all curious to see how many carries he can handle when Zeke isn’t getting most or half of the load, but I don’t think anyone should . Pollard‘s league-best yards after contact and his pass-catching skills that got him into the league to begin with should keep him right at the top of the fantasy producers in the backfield.Combine that upgrade with a defense that went second in the draft instead of 11th a year ago. Not everyone was ready to buy into Dan Quinn’s turnover machine in 2022.

Still, Dallas was the only NFL team to produce a top 12 quarterback, running back, wide receiver and defense. And two of those figure to be special fantasy producers in 2023. That has to bode well for Cowboys fans whether they are fantasy-inclined or not.
