Zeke Elliott expected to see 20+ touches in Week 2

Sep 19, 2021

After only seeing 11 carries and 13 touches in Dallas' Week 1 loss at Tampa Bay, the Cowboys are hoping to give Ezekiel Elliott at least 20 touches and get him back to his normal workload in Week 2 against the Chargers.

Fantasy Impact:

Elliott played 70 of 83 snaps against the Buccaneers, so the Cowboys have him on the field, so that won't be an issue. It's about getting him back to a full workload. Week 16 of last season was the last time Elliott had over 20 touches, when he totaled 23 against the Eagles. Zeke is currently our No. 12 running back in half-PPR.

“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

Related Players: Eric Saubert

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.
