Cowboys RB Ezekiel Elliott (calf, questionable) missed practice all week and is questionable for Week 15. Elliott was limited all last week and ultimately split the backfield work with Tony Pollard, so this is a downgrade. Both Mike McCarthy (per Todd Archer) and Jerry Jones (per Michael Gehlken) said that they expect Elliott to play on Sunday. Thankfully, the Cowboys play early on Sunday.

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones told 105.3 The Fan Friday that RB Ezekiel Elliott's workload would not be diminished the rest of the season.

Fantasy Impact:

Elliott has been a disappointment as a high first round pick in fantasy this season. His fumbling issues and general lack of efficiency is not entirely his problem, but teammate Tony Pollard has shined in smaller bursts despite the situation. The Cowboys are on their bye week.

Cowboys RB Ezekiel Elliott (hamstring, questionable) took limited practice reps all week and is questionable for Week 9. Elliott looks a little iffy for Week 9 and the Cowboys play late. Tony Pollard might see an expanded workload this week but the matchup is a tough one. If Elliott plays, he'll be a risky start given a potentially limited workload against the Steelers.

Cowboys RB Ezekiel Elliott fumbles twice on MNF

After fumbling only three times all of last season, Ezekiel Elliott coughed the ball up twice on Monday, making it five in the last five games. The Cowboys’ defense was putting together their best start of the season, forcing Arizona to punt on the Cardinals’ first three possessions. But once the wheels came off for Elliott, it was over for the rest of the team as well. Elliott fumbled on back-to-back possessions late in the first quarter and early in the second. The Cardinals offense turned those turnovers into a 14-0 lead.

Pollard came out and started the next series and was on for eight-straight plays before Elliott did come back into the game. The story said Elliott will need to take on a bigger leadership role with Dak Prescott out. He also could be counted on for possibly more touches as a result of Prescott being out, but will need to get the fumbling issue back under control.

Cowboys to use RBs as receivers more

Jerry Jones confirmed both Tony Pollard and Ezekiel Elliott will be key parts of the passing attack going into Week 1 against the Los Angeles Rams, and then each game to follow.

"Out of the backfield, it should be interesting this year with more use of Pollard and Zeke as receiver types," Jones said to 105.3FM the Fan on Tuesday. "We've got that in and it's gonna be very effective. I'm sure excited about that area."

Fantasy Impact:

The offense is expected to be way more creative this year, which says a lot since the Cowboys were the league's top O in 2019. Going into 2020, the Cowboys truly have a chance to begin unleashing more two-halfback sets that utilize both Elliott and Pollard on the same play, the story said.
