## Top NFL Fantasy Football Injury Updates For Week 9: Tony Pollard, Josh Jacobs Status
Tony Pollard
Dallas Cowboys running back Tony Pollard is expected to miss multiple games due to a sprained MCL, according to NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport. Pollard suffered the injury in the Cowboys' Week 8 win over the Chicago Bears.
Pollard's absence is a significant blow to the Cowboys' offense. He has been one of the most productive running backs in fantasy football this season, averaging 10.8 points per game. Ezekiel Elliott will likely see an increased workload in Pollard's absence, but he is not as explosive as Pollard and could be limited in his ability to create big plays.
Josh Jacobs
Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs is expected to play in Week 9 against the Jacksonville Jaguars, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Jacobs has been dealing with a calf injury but is expected to be active on Sunday.
Jacobs' status is a huge boost for the Raiders and fantasy owners alike. He is the team's lead running back and has been one of the most consistent fantasy performers this season. Jacobs is averaging 16.8 points per game and is a must-start in Week 9.
