Ezekiel Elliott (disciplinary reasons) to be inactive vs. Falcons

Nov 02, 2024

Cowboys RB Ezekiel Elliott will be inactive for Sunday’s game against the Falcons due to disciplinary reasons.

Fantasy Impact:

Elliott will not even travel with the team to Atlanta. The Cowboys elevated Dalvin Cook from the practice squad to help fill out the depth chart. With Elliott out, Rico Dowdle is in line for an increase in work, though it is a tough matchup against one of the better run defenses in the league this season in Atlanta. Dowdle is an RB3/Flex while Cook is a deeper-league option and maybe a bit of a desperation play.

Saints WR Chris Olave was carted off the field Sunday against the Panthers and was later ruled out with a concussion.

Fantasy Impact:

Olave took a hard hit from Panthers safety Xavier Woods and it wasn't long before he was ruled out for the remainder of the game. Woods was flagged for unnecessary roughness as a result of the play. Olave was taken to a local hospital but the good news is he has movement in all of his extremities.

Patriots QB Drake Maye cleared concussion protocol and will play Sunday against the Titans.

Fantasy Impact:

Maye suffered the concussion last week against the Jets on a hit by linebacker Jamien Sherwood that landed the defender a fine. The Titans usually sport one of the better defenses but cornerback L’Jarius Sneed will not play. Still, given the worries about the offense, Maye ranks outside our top 25 quarterbacks this week.

Rams expected to have Puka Nacua Sunday, reportedly on team plane

The Rams are expected to have WR Puka Nacua (knee) available for Sunday’s game against the Seahawks.

Fantasy Impact:

Nacua suffered a knee injury during practice this week but the injury was not expected to be considered serious. According to Russini, Nacua is on the team plane to Seattle. If Nacua can go, he will be one of the better fantasy options. He is currently WR18 on our board in a pretty favorable matchup against the Seahawks.
