Cowboys' Tony Pollard: Excels as receiver Monday

Pollard rushed 15 times for 30 yards and secured six of seven targets for 80 yards in the Cowboys' 20-17 win over the Chargers on Monday.

As his final line implies, Pollard was stonewalled on the ground, but he salvaged his fantasy night as a receiver with numbers that were all good for second on the Cowboys. The versatile back's receiving yardage total was also a season high and boosted by a 60-yard reception early in the fourth quarter on which he almost broke free for a touchdown. Pollard will aim to snap a three-game streak of sub-50-yard rushing performances when the Cowboys return from a Week 7 bye to tangle with the Rams at home on Oct. 29.
