Scouting report

NE RB Ezekiel Elliott - Week 15 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 15 vs. Kansas City Chiefs

Ezekiel Elliott is back as a top fantasy option. Who would have thought? But here we are. Rhamondre Stevenson is still hurt and Elliott actually ran well last week against the Steelers. The Chiefs have actually been a favorable matchup over the course of the season for opposing running backs. It’s hard to believe, but Elliott is a borderline RB1 for the fantasy playoffs this week.

NE RB Ezekiel Elliott - Week 14 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 14 at Pittsburgh Steelers

Ezekiel Elliott is now in line to start Thursday against the Steelers as Rhamondre Stevenson is out with an ankle injury. Elliott seems to be over his thigh injury as he was taken off the injury report Tuesday. Elliott obviously isn’t what he used to be but he could see about 15-20 carries so that alone makes him worth a flex consideration. The Steelers are among the middle of the pack against the run. But as we’ve seen lately, the Patriots are a mess on offense, so be cautious with Elliott.

NE RB Ezekiel Elliott - Week 13 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 13 vs. Los Angeles Chargers

The good news? Ezekiel Elliott rushed for 46 yards on nine carries. The bad news? He only played 15 snaps. This is Rhamondre Stevenson's backfield again so there is almost no reason at this point to play Elliott unless you are desperate. Even against the Chargers, it's too risky at this stage of the game.

NE RB Ezekiel Elliott - Week 12 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 12 at New York Giants

Ezekiel Elliott saw 13 rushing attempts in Germany two weeks ago and hit 50 yards for the first time since Week 3. The Giants are not very good against the run, so the game script could allow both Elliott and Rhamondre Stevenson to have success this week. Elliott remains a risky play, but there's at least some reason to consider the week given the matchup and the quarterback situation possibly allowing the Patriots to focus on the run more this week.

NE RB Ezekiel Elliott - Week 10 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 10 vs. Indianapolis Colts (Germany)

Ezekiel Elliott is pretty much getting clean-up and spell work in the backfield behind Rhamondre Stevenson. He has seen double-digit rushing attempts just twice this season and double-digit touches just four times. He's not worth a start going forward.

NE RB Ezekiel Elliott - Week 9 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 9 vs. Washington Commanders

Ezekiel Elliott was back to single-digit carries last week after getting 11 against the Bills. Against a tough front seven of Washington, New England may continue to struggle on the ground. Elliott is a deep-flex play only.

NE RB Ezekiel Elliott - Week 8 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 8 at Miami Dolphins

Ezekiel Elliott now has two straight games with a touchdown, but he still only has one game with more than 40 yards rushing. There’s still not enough for him to be a viable fantasy option. He’s more of a touchdown vulture to Rhamondre Stevenson.
