Not sure why but every week these guys are ranked highly (half PPR) despite poor performances. For example right now fantasypros has Henry as RB6 for Week 11 and Pollard as RB7. In contrast, Henry is actually RB15 in points per game and Pollard is RB26 for the season so far.
Guys like Montgomery, Gibbs, Rachaad white, Ken walker are ranked lower than these two!
Every week I succumb to the rankings influence and start these guys only to get terrible numbers.

I would agree they aren’t adjusting expectations based on recent performance, but Pollard’s opponent, Carolina, is getting gashed by RBs in fantasy right now.
Volume is the key. Pollard and Henry are still dominating touches in their backfields. Montgomery and Gibbs are splitting work so, in theory, big numbers for both guys won’t be sustainable, although I’d feel great about starting either. White has a tough matchup this week. Walker you could argue should be ahead of pollard/Henry I guess.
I have pollard in my main league so I’m as frustrated as anyone, but if there were ever a week for him to get going it’d be this week against Carolina. It’s do or die for him this week cause Rico has looked good and if pollard struggles early and Rico has success we could easily see a split backfield going forward
Henry’s only two bad weeks, which massively drop his average, have come against elite run defenses. You start him when he isn’t playing those guys.
If you’ve been unhappy with him “every week” when his last 3 weeks have been 19, 16, 19 you’re the problem lol. Henry is not in the tier where he is bust-proof anymore, but he’s still an obvious start most weeks just off of volume.
