Marcus Pollard, TE ATL
News: The Falcons listed QB D.J. Shockley, DB Glenn Sharpe, DB Eric Brock, LB Tony Gilbert, DL Simon Fraser and TE Marcus Pollard among their inactives for Week 16 at Minnesota.	Analysis: None of these players ever does enough statistically to matter in Fantasy. Leave them all on waivers.

Falcons make roster moves	Updated 12/17/2008
Marcus Pollard, TE ATL
News: The Falcons placed WR Laurent Robinson and CB David Irons on Injured Reserve on Tuesday, elevating DB Eric Brock from the practice squad and signing free-agent TE Marcus Pollard to take their place.	Analysis: Robinson missed several games this season with a hamstring injury and will be considered a candidate for a breakout 2009 since it will be his third season in the NFL. He and all the others listed here aren't worth a look in Fantasy play at this time.

Falcons announce roster cuts	Updated 8/30/2008
Marcus Pollard, TE NE
News: The Falcons waived the following players Saturday as they cut their roster down to 53 players: QB Joey Harrington, OL D'Anthony Batiste, S Eric Brock, OL Michael Butterworth, S Deke Cooper, C Doug Datish, DE Willie Evans, CB Wilrey Fontenot, OL Kynan Forney, DE Brandon Miller of Georgia, DT Rashad Moore, OL Terrance Pennington, LB Mickey Pimentel, TE Marcus Pollard, CB Glenn Sharpe, DT Montavious Stanley, S Daren Stone, LB Cameron Vaughn, WR Eric Weems, WR Chandler Williams, TE Keith Zinger.	Analysis: Clearly, none of these players were being considered for significant playing time anyway. They may clear waivers and could be on the practice squad, but won't be worth owning in Fantasy.

Pollard lands with Falcons	Updated 8/24/2008
Marcus Pollard, TE NE
News: The Falcons signed veteran tight end Marcus Pollard on Sunday, adding experience and a receiving threat at the position. Pollard, a 14-year veteran, was released by New England on Wednesday. He has 349 career receptions for 4,280 yards and 40 touchdowns in 13 seasons, most with Indianapolis. He led Seattle tight ends with 28 catches for 273 yards last season and signed with New England as a free agent in April.	Analysis: Pollard should help the progress of the Atlanta offense and be a little-used short-area target. He's not worth a draft pick or roster spot in leagues at this time.

Pollard dumped by Patriots	Updated 8/19/2008
Marcus Pollard, TE NE
News: The Patriots released 13-year veteran tight end Marcus Pollard on Tuesday. Pollard signed with the Patriots on April 23 after being released by Seattle, where he spent one season. He played his first 10 seasons with Indianapolis and two with Detroit. "It wasn't really going to work out here the way that we had hoped and he had hoped," coach Bill Belichick said. "At the same time, there are still a couple preseason games left and time before the season opener and I think there are some other teams that are looking for tight ends and maybe there is a better opportunity for him somewhere else."	Analysis: In 191 games, including 133 starts, Pollard caught 349 passes for 4,280 yards and 40 touchdowns. Last season, he had 28 catches for 273 yards and two touchdowns in 14 games. Don't count on him to be an asset in Fantasy play this year.

Pats sign TE DeVree, release Pollard	Updated 8/19/2008
Marcus Pollard, TE NE
News: According to the team's official site, the New England Patriots have signed rookie tight end Tyson DeVree and released tight end Marcus Pollard on Tuesday.	Analysis: DeVree was originally signed by the Pats as a rookie free agent on May 5, 2008 and was released June 11. The 6-foot-6, 245-pound tight end played in 44 collegiate games at Colorado and Western Michigan, making 96 receptions for 987 yards and 15 receiving touchdowns. He doesn't figure to see enough of the field on Sunday's to be a relevant Fantasy option. Pollard will probably catch on elsewhere but probably won't see much time on the field either and even with a team would be a considered someone with minimal Fantasy value.

TE Pollard fitting in with Pats	Updated 6/9/2008
Marcus Pollard, TE NE
News: Patriots head coach Bill Belichick had an encouraging review of new TE Marcus Pollard after the team's recent minicamp. He said Pollard's experience -- he has career totals of 349 catches and 40 touchdowns -- is valuable. "Marcus knows the passing game. He has a lot of experience in offenses such as Indianapolis' and Mike Martz's West Coast offense" while with Detroit, Belichick said.	Analysis: Looks like Pollard was recruited to catch the ball, not block. That's what he used to do best before years in Detroit and Seattle ended his productivity. Figure him to be a low-end one-week replacement option in Fantasy play this summer, only worth a pick in the deepest of Fantasy Football drafts, though he would see a jump in stats if Ben Watson were to miss significant playing time.

Patriots sign TE Marcus Pollard	Updated 4/23/2008
Marcus Pollard, TE SEA
News: The New England Patriots signed veteran tight end Marcus Pollard on Wednesday. Pollard has been in the league for 13 seasons with Indianapolis, Detroit and Seattle. He has 349 catches for 4,280 yards and 40 touchdowns in 191 career games. The 36-year-old led Seattle's tight ends last season with 28 receptions for 273 yards and two touchdowns.	Analysis: Pollard isn't expected to total many statistics with the Patriots (Benjamin Watson is their main receiving target at tight end). Thus, he can be ignored for now in Fantasy league play.

TE Pollard underwhelms in 2007	Updated 2/11/2008
Marcus Pollard, TE SEA
News: Signed to be a receiving tight end for the Seahawks in 2007, TE Marcus Pollard caught 28 passes for 273 yards (9.8 avg.) with two touchdowns. He is scheduled to be an unrestricted free agent this offseason.	Analysis: Pollard will be 36 when the 2008 season opens and is no lock to start no matter where he ends up this offseason. Keep him out of Fantasy draft plans this summer.

Pollard has three-catch game	Updated 12/23/2007
Marcus Pollard, TE SEA
News: Seahawks TE Marcus Pollard caught three passes for 15 yards during a Week 16 win against the Ravens. Pollard had two catches in eight straight games before being shut out Week 15 against the Panthers.	Analysis: If there was one thing you could say about Pollard this season is that he was consistent -- consistently bad. The Seahawks just don't use the tight end that much and Pollard remains a poor Fantasy option heading into Week 17 against the Falcons.

Seahawks have some non-factors	Updated 12/16/2007
Marcus Pollard, TE SEA
News: Notable Seahawks who were active and dressed but didn't record an offensive stat in Week 15 at Carolina include: TE Marcus Pollard, RB Josh Scobey, TE Bennie Joppru, FB David Kirtman and backup QB Seneca Wallace.	Analysis: Only Pollard is of any use for Fantasy owners as a low-end No. 2/top-end No. 3 Fantasy TE. He shouldn't start, nor should any of his aforementioned teammates, when the Seahawks host the Ravens in Week 16.

Pollard does two-catch dance again	Updated 12/9/2007
Marcus Pollard, TE SEA
News: Seahawks TE Marcus Pollard is becoming a consistent mark for Seattle. How so? After catching two passes for 15 yards Week 14 against the Cardinals, he now has two catches in eight straight games. You want more? Pollard also caught his second touchdown of the season Week 14, a 3-yard reception in the fourth quarter.	Analysis: It seems as though Pollard's favorite number is two. It's very ironic to see him with two catches in so many games, but at least Fantasy owners can get a grip on what to expect from the veteran tight end. He is merely a low-end No. 2 Fantasy TE heading into Week 15 against the Panthers.

Two more grabs by Pollard	Updated 12/2/2007
Marcus Pollard, TE SEA
News: Seattle TE Marcus Pollard caught two passes for 11 yards at Philadelphia in Week 13.	Analysis: Pollard doesn't post enough stats on a weekly basis to warrant use in Fantasy play. Keep him off Fantasy rosters. Seattle hosts the Cardinals in Week 14.

Pollard has two catches	Updated 11/25/2007
Marcus Pollard, TE SEA
News: Seattle TE Marcus Pollard had two catches for 18 yards Sunday at St. Louis.	Analysis: Pollard is a low-end TE and should not be used in Week 13 at the Eagles.

TE Pollard catches two passes	Updated 11/18/2007
Marcus Pollard, TE SEA
News: Seahawks TE Marcus Pollard caught two passes for 33 yards during a Week 11 win against the Bears. He did not have a touchdown and his longest reception went for 20 yards. It was the second straight game Pollard was active after missing two games with a knee injury.	Analysis: The Seahawks have gone to a wide-open passing attack, but they use four wide receivers a lot and the tight end is not an integral part of the passing attack. Pollard is nothing more than a No. 2 Fantasy TE for Week 11 against the Rams.

Pollard catches two for 19 in return	Updated 11/13/2007
Marcus Pollard, TE SEA
News: Seahawks TE Marcus Pollard caught two passes for 19 yards in his return to the lineup Week 10 against the 49ers. He had missed two games because of a knee injury.	Analysis: Pollard has been too inconsistent this season to be anything more than a borderline No. 1/No. 2 Fantasy TE. Start him Week 11 against the Bears only in the most desperate of circumstances.

TE Pollard active again for Seahawks	Updated 11/12/2007
Marcus Pollard, TE SEA
News: The Seahawks didn't list Marcus Pollard among their inactives Monday, meaning he'll return from a two-game absence Week 10 against the 49ers.	Analysis: Pollard has been too inconsistent this season to be anything more than a borderline No. 1/No. 2 Fantasy TE. Start him Monday only in the most desperate of circumstances.

Pollard misses practice all week	Updated 11/9/2007
Marcus Pollard, TE SEA
News: Seahawks TE Marcus Pollard (knee) is listed as questionable for Week 10 vs. San Francisco. He has not practiced all week. Pollard has missed the last two games while recovering from arthroscopic surgery to repair partially torn cartilage in his right knee.	Analysis: Pollard has been too inconsistent this season to be anything more than a borderline No. 1/No. 2 Fantasy TE when healthy. His status for Week 10 doesn't appear to be promising at this juncture. If he can't play, Will Heller will once again start in his place.

Pollard might miss third straight game	Updated 11/8/2007
Marcus Pollard, TE SEA
News: Seahawks TE Marcus Pollard (knee) did not practice Wednesday or Thursday as the team prepares for Week 10 vs. San Francisco. Pollard has missed the last two games while recovering from arthroscopic surgery to repair partially torn cartilage in his right knee.	Analysis: Pollard has been too inconsistent this season to be anything more than a borderline No. 1/No. 2 Fantasy TE when healthy. His status for Week 10 doesn't appear to be promising at this juncture. If he can't play, Will Heller will once again start in his place.

Pollard inactive as expected	Updated 11/4/2007
Marcus Pollard, TE SEA
News: As expected, the Seahawks listed TE Marcus Pollard among their inactives for Week 9 at Cleveland. He recently had arthroscopic surgery to repair partially torn cartilage in his right knee. Will Heller, who caught a career-high two touchdown passes against the Rams in Week 7, will again start in his place.	Analysis: Pollard hasn't played since Week 6, but he only has 12 catches and one touchdown this season. Even when healthy, he's nothing more than a bye-week replacement in Fantasy.

Pollard to miss second straight	Updated 11/2/2007
Marcus Pollard, TE SEA
News: The Seahawks have officially ruled Marcus Pollard out for Week 9 at Cleveland. He recently had arthroscopic surgery to repair partially torn cartilage in his right knee. Will Heller, who caught a career-high two touchdown passes against the Rams in Week 7, will likely start again.	Analysis: Pollard hasn't played since Week 6, but he only has 12 catches and one touchdown this season. Even when healthy, he's nothing more than a bye-week replacement in Fantasy.

Pollard a long shot to play	Updated 10/31/2007
Marcus Pollard, TE SEA
News: Seahawks head coach Mike Holmgren said Marcus Pollard is a "long shot" to play against the Browns in Week 9. The tight end had surgery to repair partially torn cartilage in his right knee. Will Heller, who caught a career-high two touchdown passes against the Rams in Week 7, will likely start again.	Analysis: Pollard, who did not practice for the second straight session Thursday, has been too inconsistent this season to be anything more than a borderline No. 1/No. 2 Fantasy TE when healthy. Plan to be without his services in Week 9.

TE Pollard to undergo knee surgery	Updated 10/23/2007
Marcus Pollard, TE SEA
News: Seahawks TE Marcus Pollard, who missed Week 7 with a sore right knee, is expected to undergo arthroscopic surgery and will likely miss the Seahawks' Week 9 game at Cleveland reports the Seattle Times. "He felt he was almost hurting the team because he could not do the things he was used to doing," head coach Mike Holmgren said. "It may be just arthritis. You know, Marcus has played a long time."	Analysis: Pollard has been too inconsistent this season to be anything more than a borderline No. 1/No. 2 Fantasy TE, and his owners should be ready with a replacement for him in Week 8 anyway with Seattle being on a bye.

Knee injury makes Pollard inactive	Updated 10/21/2007
Marcus Pollard, TE SEA
News: The Seahawks have listed TE Marcus Pollard (knee) among their inactives for Week 7 against the Rams. After opening the season with a five-catch game, he has only seven total catches and one touchdown in his last five contests.	Analysis: Pollard's too inconsistent to serve as anything more than a No. 2 TE in Fantasy. Obviously, reserve him this week and keep track of his status leading up to Week 9 at Cleveland. The Seahawks have a bye in Week 8.

Pollard's status in question Week 7	Updated 10/19/2007
Marcus Pollard, TE SEA
News: Seahawks TE Marcus Pollard (knee) is listed as questionable for Week 7 vs. St. Louis. After opening the season with a five-catch game, Pollard has only seven total catches and one touchdown in his last five contests.	Analysis: The Rams gave up six catches for 71 yards and a touchdown to Jason Witten, the last good pass-catching TE they played this season, so Pollard has the opportunity to put up some decent numbers against the Rams. Still, he's too inconsistent to be anything more than a borderline No. 1/No. 2 Fantasy TE in Week 7. He dealt with a knee injury leading up to Week 6, but managed to start. Continue to track his progress leading up to inactives.

Pollard to get going vs. Rams?	Updated 10/17/2007
Marcus Pollard, TE SEA
News: After opening the season with a five-catch game, Seahawks TE Marcus Pollard has only seven total catches and one touchdown in his last five contests. Pollard will look to get more of the action in Week 7 when Seattle hosts St. Louis. Pollard (knee) did not practice Wednesday or Thursday.	Analysis: The Rams gave up six catches for 71 yards and a touchdown to Jason Witten, the last good pass-catching TE they played this season, so Pollard has the opportunity to put up some decent numbers against the Rams. Still, he's too inconsistent to be anything more than a borderline No. 1/No. 2 Fantasy TE in Week 7. He dealt with a knee injury leading up to Week 6, but managed to start. Continue to track his progress.

Pollard manages 25 yards	Updated 10/15/2007
Marcus Pollard, TE SEA
News: Marcus Pollard picked up two receptions for 25 yards in Week 6 against the Saints.	Analysis: Pollard remains a decent low-end No. 2 Fantasy option in deeper leagues for Week 7 against the Rams.

TE Pollard questionable Week 6	Updated 10/12/2007
Marcus Pollard, TE SEA
News: Seahawks TE Marcus Pollard (knee) is listed as questionable for Week 6 vs. New Orleans. Pollard did not practice Wedmesday or Thursday and the Seahawks did not release a practice report for Friday. Pollard has just 10 catches for 98 yards and one touchdown in five games.	Analysis: Pollard is not having a great start to his first year with the Seahawks and there is no telling if his production increases in the weeks to come. For now, he is nothing more than a No. 2 Fantasy TE. Continue to track his progress.

Pollard not yet practicing	Updated 10/11/2007
Marcus Pollard, TE SEA
News: Seahawks TE Marcus Pollard (knee) missed a second straight practice Thursday as the team prepares for Week 6 vs. New Orleans. Pollard has just 10 catches for 98 yards and one touchdown in five games.	Analysis: Pollard is not having a great start to his first year with the Seahawks and there is no telling if his production increases in the weeks to come. For now, he is nothing more than a No. 2 Fantasy TE.

Pollard has two catches	Updated 10/7/2007
Marcus Pollard, TE SEA
News: Seattle TE Marcus Pollard had two catches for 28 yards Sunday against Pittsburgh.	Analysis: Pollard is a No. 2 TE and should be used as a bye-week replacement in Week 6 against New Orleans.

Pollard likely to be limited	Updated 10/5/2007
Marcus Pollard, TE SEA
News: Seahawks TE Marcus Pollard had two catches for 23 yards and a touchdown last week against San Francisco. Prior to that, he had one catch for four yards in his past two games against Cincinnati and Arizona. The Steelers have only allowed three passing touchdowns on the season, so expect Pollard to be limited again this week.	Analysis: Seattle QB Matt Hasselbeck never really used Jerramy Stevens enough when he was with the Seahawks, so it's no surprise that Pollard is only putting up minimal stats from the TE position. Seattle play at Pittsburgh in Week 5, and Pollard isn't worth starting.

Pollard finds end zone	Updated 9/30/2007
Marcus Pollard, TE SEA
News: Seahawks TE Marcus Pollard caught two passes for 23 yards in Week 4's victory over the 49ers, including a 14-yard touchdown pass from Matt Hasselbeck.	Analysis: Pollard had five catches in Week 1, but only has three in the three games since then. He is only worth using as a bye-week replacement in the deepest of leagues when Seattle visits Pittsburgh in Week 5.

TE Pollard losing his stats	Updated 9/26/2007
Marcus Pollard, TE SEA
News: TE Marcus Pollard started the 2007 season off strong, catching five passes for 43 yards. But since then, he's played in two games and made one four-yard catch. This week, Pollard and the Seahawks will play against the Niners again in Week 4 at San Francisco. The Niners rank 11th against the pass, allowing an average of 192.0 passing yards per game and yielding three passing scores all season (one each week).	Analysis: Pollard should be considered a desperation low-end TE option in Fantasy play in Week 4. Don't expect to find him useful this week.

Seahawks players pitch in	Updated 9/23/2007
Marcus Pollard, TE SEA
News: Notable Seahawks players from Week 3 vs. Cincinnati include: RB Leonard Weaver (three rush yards), FB Mack Strong (nine receiving yards), TE Will Heller (12 receiving yards) and TE Marcus Pollard (4 receiving yards).	Analysis: None of these players are considered useful for Fantasy play, although Pollard is still a low-end option as a bye-week replacement. The Seahawks play at San Francisco in Week 4.

Pollard to match Winslow's totals?	Updated 9/21/2007
Marcus Pollard, TE SEA
News: Seattle TE Marcus Pollard didn't have a catch in Week 2 against Arizona, but he has to be excited after watching what Kellen Winslow did last week against the Bengals, who are No. 27 in pass defense. Winslow had six catches for 100 yards and a touchdown.	Analysis: Pollard went from five catches in Week 1 to no catches in Week 2, but with Matt Hasselbeck such a great start against Cincinnati, you have to think that Pollard will at least see a significant chunk of the action. We think he is a high-end No. 2 Fantasy TE this week.

No catches for Marcus Pollard	Updated 9/16/2007
Marcus Pollard, TE SEA
News: Seahawks TE Marcus Pollard started in Week 2 at Arizona, but did not have any catches.	Analysis: He had five catches in Week 1 and could be in for an up-and-down year. Hopefully, it won't be as hit-or-miss as the first two weeks. Consider him a decent No. 2 Fantasy TE for Week 3 vs. Cincinnati.

Pollard has team-high five grabs	Updated 9/10/2007
Marcus Pollard, TE SEA
News: Marcus Pollard had five receptions for 43 yards in Week 1 against the Buccaneers in his first game with the Seattle Seahawks.	Analysis: Pollard fits into the West Coast offense nicely and might re-emerge as a solid Fantasy option this season. The Seahawks travel to Glendale, Ariz. to meet the Cardinals in Week 2.

One catch for Marcus Pollard	Updated 8/19/2007
Marcus Pollard, TE SEA
News: Marcus Pollard made a seven-yard catch at Green Bay in Seattle's second preseason game. He has two catches for 16 yards in limited preseason action.	Analysis: Pollard is a good sleeper TE and someone worth keeping an eye on. Consider him a No. 2 TE option with a lot of upside in 2007.

TE Pollard earning praise	Updated 8/17/2007
Marcus Pollard, TE SEA
News: New tight end Marcus Pollard is having a strong camp as a receiver and blocker, according to offensive coordinator Gil Haskell, reports The Sports Xchange. "Marcus Pollard is a fine player," Haskell said. "He had eight years at Indianapolis and was a really a good player. For us, we can run the outside now. He can block the corner, which we have not had since (Ryan) Hannam left."	Analysis: Pollard is a good sleeper TE and someone worth keeping an eye on. Consider him a No. 2 TE option with a lot of upside in 2007.

TE Pollard makes Seattle debut	Updated 8/13/2007
Marcus Pollard, TE SEA
News: Marcus Pollard, who signed with the Seattle Seahawks in mid-March, made his preseason debut on Sunday at San Diego. He had a reception for nine yards, starting as the team's tight end.	Analysis: Pollard sits atop the Seattle depth chart with Will Heller, Bennie Joppru, Leonard Stephens and rookie Joe Newton as the other tight ends on the Seattle roster. If Pollard is going to re-emerge as a Fantasy threat, Seattle appears the best bet for that.

Seahawks excited about Pollard	Updated 6/11/2007
Marcus Pollard, TE SEA
News: The Seahawks are expecting big things from TE Marcus Pollard this season. "Pollard knows how to play the game," offensive coordinator Gil Haskell said in the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. "He's got a feel for the whole picture. He's aware. He sees the entire field. He knows how to use his body."	Analysis: This was only Pollard's eighth practice since coming to Seattle. He is a good sleeper TE and someone worth keeping an eye on. Consider him a No. 2 TE option with a lot of upside in 2007.

TE Pollard signs with Seattle	Updated 3/13/2007
Marcus Pollard, TE DET
News: The Seahawks have signed TE Marcus Pollard to a one-year contract, the club announced. Pollard is primarily a receiving tight end expected to help replace Jerramy Stevens.	Analysis: Pollard got lost in the shuffle in Detroit last season but does have some ability left and can do some damage as a No. 2 tight end in the right system. Seattle would qualify, so consider him with a late-round pick in deeper 2007 Fantasy leagues.

TE Pollard meets with Seattle	Updated 3/13/2007
Marcus Pollard, TE DET
News: The Tacoma News Tribune reports that the Seahawks have met with TE Marcus Pollard. No offer has officially been made. The Seahawks could be looking to replace TE Jerramy Stevens, who is still a free agent.	Analysis: Pollard got lost in the shuffle in Detroit last season but does have some ability left and can do some damage as a No. 2 tight end in the right system. Seattle would qualify, if he starts for them.

Lions cut TE Pollard, two others	Updated 3/2/2007
Marcus Pollard, TE DET
News: The Lions have released TE Marcus Pollard and DTs Tyoka Jackson and Marcus Bell. Pollard caught just 12 passes in 2006, getting exactly 100 receiving yards. He played in 15 games, starting five. The linemen combined for three sacks in 2006.	Analysis: Pollard has fallen off the Fantasy map since leaving Indianapolis, and the Lions defense continues its purge. Consider all of these players too unproductive for Fantasy use at this point.

Marcus Pollard, TE DET
News: Lions TE Marcus Pollard caught just 12 passes in 2006, getting exactly 100 receiving yards. He played in 15 games, starting five.
