EzekielElliott

News: 5 days agoElliott rushed once for eight yards and caught all three of his targets for 16 yards in Monday's 34-10 loss to the Texans.

Spin: Elliott played 26 of the Cowboys' 83 offensive snaps Monday, with his 31 percent share being an increase from the 21 percent he handled in the Week 10 loss to the Eagles. Despite the bump in playing time, the veteran running back was unable to produce much in the way of relevant statistics. With teammate Rico Dowdle operating as the clear-cut No. 1 running back in Dallas, Elliott's fantasy utility has all but disappeared.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: After one underwhelming season with an even more underwhelming Patriots offense, the 29-year-old Elliott signed back with the Cowboys, days after the franchise spent its draft picks on other positions. He will battle holdovers Rico Dowdle and Deuce Vaughn for touches. Elliott used to be one of the first picks in a fantasy draft, but his last RB1 season was 2019. He scored a solid 12 touchdowns during each of his final two inefficient seasons with Dallas, though, and he showed he can still catch passes last season in New England's terrible offense, so perhaps RB2 production remains attainable. Just don't draft him as an RB2.
