DAL RB Ezekiel Elliott - Week 13 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 13 vs Buffalo
Ezekiel Elliot had 25 touches for 126 total yards but did not score a touchdown. This is why Elliot remains one of the safest fantasy options in the NFL. Even when he didn't have his best game, it was still a pretty good one.

Elliot will face Buffalo who is 22nd in aFPA to running backs. With a favorable matchup in front of a national audience, we expect a big day for him.

Start Elliot in all leagues and formats for Week 13. Even if this game leans towards a defensive battle, Elliot will get his touches and yardage.

DAL RB Ezekiel Elliott - Week 12 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 12 vs New England
Ezekiel Elliot had some of his lower fantasy numbers of the season last week although he did score his seventh rushing touchdown of the year. The negative was the touches as he was under 20 for the first time since Week 5 and only the third time all season. The Cowboys won last week, but Elliot wasn't the main factor like he is usually.

That could change this week as the Cowboys face New England. The Patriots are ranked fifth in aFPA to running backs but are even better against the pass. We expect Elliot to get back to the 20+ touch mark this week.

Elliot's ranking for this week drops from his usual spot in the top 5 running backs because of the Patriots overall defense, but he still ranks as solid RB1 for Week 12 and should be in your starting lineup in all leagues and formats.

DAL RB Ezekiel Elliott - Week 11 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 11 at Detroit
Just give Minnesota credit. They held Ezekiel Elliot in check last Sunday night. He still got 22 touches but for only 63 yards which is actually not a bad day for an NFL running back, but below what we are used to with Elliot. That yardage total tied his Week 1 numbers in a game where he was held back because he had skipped training camp.

Elliot should fare better this Sunday against the Lions who are 28th in aFPA to running backs. Detroit has not been good on the defensive side of the ball and as long as Elliot gets his 20+ touches (which he has for four straight games), we expect a big game for him.

Start Elliot as a top-five fantasy running backs in all leagues and formats for Week 11. It should be a very big bounce-back game for the Cowboys running game.

DAL RB Ezekiel Elliott - Week 10 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 10 vs Minnesota
Make it three straight 100+ rushing yard games for Ezekiel Elliot. The Cowboys running back is playing his best football and as long as Dallas keeps feeding him, he will continue to put up good numbers. Last week, he didn't have a touchdown or catch any passes, but still had a top 5 running back performance in standard leagues.

Elliot will face a tough Minnesota defense who is ranked seventh in aFPA to running backs. We have said this in the past about Elliot. It doesn't really matter who he plays. He can get the fantasy numbers against anyone.

Start Elliot in all leagues and formats as a top-five running back once again. The Vikings might keep him from going off, but he still will get enough points to make a major impact.

DAL RB Ezekiel Elliott - Week 9 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 9 at New York Giants
Ezekiel Elliot had 28 touches last week and rushed for 100+ yards for the second straight game and fourth time this season. He also scored his sixth touchdown of the season which was his fourth game in a row getting into the end zone.

Elliot will face the Giants who are 22nd in aFPA to running backs. He only had 14 touches in the first meeting of the season and ran for 53 yards. Historically, Elliot has played good and bad games against New York. He is averaging 78 rushing yards per game against the Giants.

Start Elliot in all leagues and formats as a top-five fantasy running back and expect a high-scoring game in which he is one the stars for the Cowboys.

DAL RB Ezekiel Elliott - Week 7 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 7 vs Philadelphia
Ezekiel Elliot had his fantasy outing of the season with 153 total yards from scrimmage. The 33 touches were a season-high for Elliot and signs the Cowboys understand he must get the ball.

Elliot faces division rival Philadelphia who he has had success against. He had 264 yards rushing in two games and a total of 379 yards from scrimmage. The Eagles have been good against the run this season ranked 4th in aFPA to running backs.

It should be another good performance for Elliot as he ranks as a top 5 fantasy back for Week 7. Don't expect the numbers from last season, but good ones nonetheless.

DAL RB Ezekiel Elliott - Week 6 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 6 at New York Jets
It was strange seeing Ezekiel Elliot get only 14 touches last Sunday night. Yes, the Cowboys were playing catch-up all game but that's even more reason to get the ball in your best player's hands. Dallas did not and Elliot's fantasy impact was limited.

Elliot faces the Jets this week. New York is 10th in aFPA to running backs. We don't expect the Cowboys to get behind and we do expect Elliot to be back over 20 touches.

Start Elliot in all leagues and formats as a solid RB1 for Week 6. We think Coach Jason Garrett heard it enough this week how Elliot was not involved in the offense enough and will make an effort to make sure that doesn't happen in New York.
