Top RBs To Start in Week 10
Tony Pollard, Dallas Cowboys
We need a get-right game for Tony Pollard this week. Despite having all the talent in the world and playing on a solid offense, Pollard just isn’t meeting expectations this season.
Pollard has finished inside the top 24 at the position just once over the past five games, and he hasn’t scored a touchdown since Week 1! However, a matchup against the faltering New York Giants may just be a spot where Pollard gets his mojo back.
The Giants are allowing the sixth-most fantasy points to opposing running backs going into Monday Night Football, and they’ve most likely just lost Daniel Jones to an ACL injury. Tyrod Taylor is already on injured reserve.
This is where Pollard can find his way back into the end zone, which, oddly enough, is against the only team that he’s scored on so far this season. Fire up Pollard if you’ve got him.
David Montgomery, Detroit Lions
This comes with some disclaimers as we have no idea what the health status of David Montgomery is coming off of the bye week. However, all indications were that he would be back and ready for the Detroit Lions’ Week 10 matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers.

Despite Jahmyr Gibbs having a couple of breakout performances in his absence, Montgomery needs to be back in your starting lineups if he’s healthy. The Chargers have struggled to slow down opposing running games this season, and Montgomery’s a lock for red-zone work when Detroit gets deep into enemy territory.
