Cowboys RB Ezekiel Elliott denied preliminary injunction, suspension is back on

Oct 30, 2017

Ian Rapoport: Cowboys RB Ezekiel Elliott has lost his attempt at a preliminary injunction. He’s suspended again.

Amy Dash: The NFLPA has failed to demonstrate a substantial question warranting the extraordinary remedy of injunctive relief.

Jason La Canfora: If NFLPA can't win an appeal in next 24 hours, Zeke is gone for 6 games.

Adam Schefter: To summarize: Ezekiel Elliott is facing suspension in 24 hours, but this is not over yet. Is it ever?

Fantasy Impact:

The bottom line is that Elliott is suspended, for now. The NFLPA can appeal (again) but as it stands, he will miss the next six games, which would put his return in Week 15. The Cowboys will likely use a committee to replace Elliott. Morris is second on the team with 13 carries, while McFadden has been inactive all season. Look for Morris to get first crack on first and second downs, with McFadden filling the change-of-pace/third-down role.

“I will be playing on Sunday. Very excited, can’t pass up playing the Packers. I will be out there for sure.”

George Kittle says he’s good to go for Sunday

Fantasy Impact:

Kittle returns to a great matchup against a Packers defense that ranks 26th in TE aFPA. He should be fired up as a high-end TE1 once again.

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
