Ezekiel Elliott Officially Active For Week 11
Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott (knee) is officially active for Sunday's game against the Minnesota Vikings. The 27-year-old returns from a two-game absence but is still expected to split time with Tony Pollard this week. He is averaging 68 rushing yards and 0.6 touchdowns per game this season. The veteran should be viewed as a high-end RB3.
Nov 20, 2022 • 8:01 PM | RotoBallerEzekiel Elliott Expected To Play In Week 11
Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott (knee) is expected to suit up for the Week 11 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings. Owner Jerry Jones mentioned earlier in the week that Elliott looks like he's going to be available for this game. It sounds like Elliott is light years ahead of last week in terms of health. It's uncertain if the team plans to limit Elliott at all during this contest. Regardless, his return would be bad news for the streaming value of Tony Pollard. Fantasy managers should consider Elliott a low-end RB2, assuming he's able to play on Sunday.
Nov 20, 2022 • 3:07 PM | RotoBallerEzekiel Elliott Likely To Play In Week 11
Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott (knee) should be available for Week 11, according to owner Jerry Jones. The Cowboys owner mentioned that he's glad to have Elliott back and it looks like he's going to be available against the Minnesota Vikings. It sounds like Elliott is set to return, assuming he doesn't suffer a setback. He'll likely be eased back into action, but would be the lead back for this game. That being said, Tony Pollard won't be as attractive as a streaming option with Elliott healthy. Fantasy managers should consider Elliott a low-end RB2 for this upcoming matchup.
Nov 18, 2022 • 5:30 PM | RotoBallerEzekiel Elliott Takes Part In Individual Drills
Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott (knee) went through individual drills during the portion of practice open to the media on Thursday. Elliott was limited on Wednesday and will likely receive the same tag on Thursday, but he reportedly looked great on Wednesday and has a shot to end his two-game absence in Week 11 against the Minnesota Vikings this Sunday. The 27-year-old is attempting to return from an MCL sprain, but he could be eased back into the backfield rotation alongside Tony Pollard once he's ready, which will make him more of a shaky RB2/3 option for fantasy managers. Another thing working against Zeke this week if he returns is the fact that the Vikings defense has allowed just 17.8 half-points PPR points to the RB position per game in 2022, which ranks sixth-fewest in the league.
Nov 17, 2022 • 7:18 PM | RotoBallerEzekiel Elliott Limited On Wednesday
Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott (knee) was listed as a limited participant in the team's practice on Wednesday. Elliott has not seen the field since Week 7 but was able to get in some limited practice work last week before ultimately being ruled out against the Green Bay Packers. The Cowboys have a short week after this upcoming Sunday's contest as they will play on Thanksgiving Day, but head coach Mike McCarthy stated that this will not be a factor in determining Elliott's availability for a Week 11 matchup with the Minnesota Vikings. Tony Pollard has been excellent in Elliott's absence, so fantasy managers will want to monitor practice reports throughout the week before making any lineup decisions.
Nov 16, 2022 • 11:43 PM | RotoBallerEzekiel Elliott Inactive For Week 10
Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott (knee) is inactive for Week 10 against the Green Bay Packers. He hasn't played since Week 7 against the Lions when he racked up 57 yards and two touchdowns. Tony Pollard will start in his place, ranking as a fringe RB1 option in fantasy football this week.
Nov 13, 2022 • 7:56 PM | RotoBallerEzekiel Elliott Likely Inactive For Week 10
Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott (knee) is expected to miss Sunday's Week 10 matchup against the Green Bay Packers. The 27-year-old has been dealing with a knee issue for multiple weeks. The team mentioned that Elliott would test his knee pregame, but said he'd sit unless he was 100 percent healthy. It's highly unlikely that the Cowboys let Elliott suit up for this game. The Cowboys don't need to risk Elliott's health with Tony Pollard playing this well as the backup. Fantasy managers should consider Pollard a fine RB1, assuming Elliott does sit out.
Nov 13, 2022 • 4:36 PM | RotoBallerCowboys Won't Take Any Chances With Ezekiel Elliott
Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott (knee) is in danger of sitting out during the Week 10 matchup against the Green Bay Packers. The 27-year-old will test out his knee pregame before the team makes a final decision. There was optimism earlier in the week, but it sounds like the team might take the cautious approach here. It seems like Elliott is going to sit unless he is 100 percent healthy before game time. That being said, it sounds like Tony Pollard is headed towards another start. He'll be a fine RB1 for this upcoming matchup, so fantasy managers should stay tuned.
Nov 13, 2022 • 2:38 PM | RotoBallerEzekiel Elliott Is A Game-Time Decision
Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott (knee) is looking like a game-time decision for the Week 10 matchup against the Green Bay Packers. It sounds like the team wants to see how Elliott responds during pre-game workouts before they make a final decision. The 27-year-old missed the Week 8 contest before Dallas had a bye in Week 9. Tony Pollard would be in line for another start, assuming Elliott is unable to play. Pollard would have RB1 value without Elliott on the field. Fantasy managers will have to check back closer to game time on Sunday.
Nov 12, 2022 • 11:27 PM | RotoBallerEzekiel Elliott Officially Questionable Against Packers
Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott (knee) is officially listed as questionable for Week 10 against the Green Bay Packers with his knee injury. ESPN Dallas' Todd Archer truly believes Elliott will be a game-time decision on Sunday afternoon, which makes him an even riskier fantasy option this weekend. The Cowboys fully expect The 27-year-old to return after missing the Week 8 game, but fantasy managers should be wary that Elliott will see a diminished backfield role coming off the Week 9 bye, especially since backup Tony Pollard dominated with 100-plus rushing yards and three touchdowns with Zeke out in Week 8. Elliott was limited in practice all week and profiles as a shaky RB2 play in fantasy if he returns.
Nov 11, 2022 • 11:23 PM | RotoBallerEzekiel Elliott Expected To Play Against Packers
Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said on 105.3 The Fan on Friday that he expects running back Ezekiel Elliott (knee) to play in Week 10 against the Green Bay Packers. "I do. Everything I've seen, I watched him yesterday, I think he's on go," Jones said. Elliott missed the Week 8 game with a sprained MCL in his knee and had last week's bye to heal, so the Cowboys fully expect him to return this weekend. However, it remains to be seen if the 27-year-old will have a full workload after putting in limited practices this week. With the potential for less work than usual after Tony Pollard ran for over 100 yards and three touchdowns in his absence in Week 8, Elliott will be on the RB2/3 borderline if he's officially active in Week 10. Expect him to have a questionable tag going into the game.
Nov 11, 2022 • 8:01 PM | RotoBallerEzekiel Elliott, Noah Brown Limited Thursday
Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott (knee) and wide receiver Noah Brown (foot) were both listed as limited practice participants for the second straight day on Thursday. The Cowboys fully expect Elliott to return in Week 10 against the Green Bay Packers after he sat out in Week 8. Dallas had their bye in Week 9. Backup Tony Pollard went off for over 100 yards and three touchdowns in Week 8, so it's very possible that Dallas limits Zeke's snaps in his return this weekend. Pollard has already looked more dynamic and explosive in the backfield than Elliott for the second straight season. The Cowboys will want to keep Elliott healthy for the long run and a potential playoff run, so he'll be a shaky RB2 play if he's active this week. Brown missed Week 8 as well, but he's looking good for a possible return Sunday. That would be bad news for Michael Gallup.
Nov 10, 2022 • 10:34 PM | RotoBallerEzekiel Elliott To Have His Reps Monitored Wednesday
Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott (knee) will practice on Wednesday, but his repetitions will be monitored. Elliott was always expected to return to practice on Wednesday after missing the Week 8 game and resting up during the Week 9 bye. The Cowboys expect the 27-year-old to play in Week 10 against the Green Bay Packers despite dealing with a sprained right MCL, but it's not a lock yet. He'll have to get through the practice week without any setbacks. And even if Elliott is active on Sunday against Green Bay, there's a chance the Cowboys ease him back and limit his snaps. Tony Pollard is more than capable of handling a bigger role after he ran for over 100 yards and three touchdowns in Week 8 with Elliott sidelined.
Nov 9, 2022 • 5:01 PM | RotoBallerCowboys Expect Ezekiel Elliott To Play In Week 10
Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said on 105.3 The Fan that he expects running back Ezekiel Elliott (knee) to play in Week 10 against the Green Bay Packers. Elliott was held out of the Week 8 game due to a knee sprain, but he had last week's bye to rest up. However, Elliott didn't take part in the team's light practice session on Monday. Don't be surprised if the Cowboys take it easy on him in practice this week leading up to Sunday's game. Even though Tony Pollard exploded for over 100 yards and three rushing touchdowns with Elliott sidelined in Week 8, the Cowboys continue to say that Elliott is their lead back. Still, the 27-year-old will be a bit more risky for fantasy managers if he returns in Week 10.
Nov 8, 2022 • 5:02 PM | RotoBallerEzekiel Elliott Doesn't Practice Monday
Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott (knee) did not practice on Monday, according to head coach Mike McCarthy. Elliott said the swelling in his knee went down during last week's bye, and he's hoping to return to practice on Wednesday as the team begins to prepare for a Week 10 tilt against the Green Bay Packers. When the 27-year-old does get back on the field, he'll be wearing a brace on his knee, and there's no guarantee he'll actually play this weekend after missing the Week 8 contest. If Elliott returns in Week 10, we wouldn't be surprised to see him share more of the backfield workload with Tony Pollard, who went off for 131 rushing yards and three touchdowns on 14 carries in Week 8 without Elliott in the picture.
Nov 8, 2022 • 12:28 AM | RotoBallerEzekiel Elliott Expected To Return In Week 10
Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said on 105.3 The Fan that he expects running back Ezekiel Elliott (knee, thigh) to return after the bye in Week 10 against the Green Bay Packers. Elliott is dealing with a Grade 2 sprained MCL in his right knee and a bruised thigh and sat out the Week 8 win, when backup Tony Pollard went off for 147 total yards and three touchdowns in the win over the Detroit Lions. Despite Pollard's impressive performance, the Cowboys continue to say that Elliott is their No. 1 back when healthy, even though Pollard has looked better for the second straight season. Depending on his health, Elliott could be in play as a low-end RB2 for fantasy managers if he's back in Week 10.
Nov 4, 2022 • 4:27 PM | RotoBallerEzekiel Elliott Remains Integral To Cowboys Backfield
Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said on Monday that running back Ezekiel Elliott (knee) remains integral to the team, even after Tony Pollard ran wild for 131 yards and three touchdowns on 14 carries in the Week 8 win over the Chicago Bears with Elliott sidelined. "There's no argument," Jones said. "Zeke's ability to punish, Zeke's ability to deliver, Zeke's ability, what he does for us in pass protection, and, frankly, Zeke's ability to make big plays are there, and we're going to go where Zeke goes. He's that integral to our success." Dallas has a bye in Week 9, and it remains to be seen if Elliott will be healthy enough to play in Week 10 against the Green Bay Packers. Pollard has proven to be more efficient and explosive than Elliott again this year, but Zeke will continue to "start" and see plenty of touches when he's healthy.
Oct 31, 2022 • 4:41 PM | RotoBallerEzekiel Elliott, Noah Brown Inactive Against Bears
Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott (knee) and wide receiver Noah Brown (foot) are both officially inactive for the Week 8 game against the Chicago Bears. Elliott missed practice all week and is dealing with a Grade 2 MCL sprain that he suffered in the Week 7 win over the Detroit Lions. The Cowboys are going to give Zeke and Brown a little extra rest with their bye coming in Week 9. In addition to Elliott and Brown, free safety Malik Hooker (hamstring) is also out for Dallas. The 27-year-old Elliott will miss his first game since the 2020 season, and with him out, Tony Pollard will be a must-start for fantasy managers as the team's lead back against Chicago. Brown will miss his first game of the season, and in his absence, Michael Gallup and Jalen Tolbert should see more targets behind CeeDee Lamb.
Oct 30, 2022 • 3:50 PM | RotoBallerEzekiel Elliott Not Expected To Play Sunday
Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott (knee) is not expected to be active for the team's Week 8 contest against the Chicago Bears, according to ESPN.com's Adam Schefter. This comes as no surprise after Elliott missed practice all week long and was listed as doubtful heading into the weekend. In his absence, Tony Pollard will start at running back, launching him into the RB2 tier in fantasy football.
Oct 30, 2022 • 12:21 PM | RotoBallerEzekiel Elliott Officially Listed As Doubtful
Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott (knee) is officially listed as doubtful for Week 8 against the Chicago Bears after missing practice all week. It was reported earlier on Friday that Elliott was out this weekend, but the Cowboys want to see if he can do anything at practice on Saturday before officially ruling him out. But with a bye coming next week, it's highly unlikely that we'll see the 27-year-old this weekend after he sprained his MCL in the Week 7 win over the Detroit Lions. With Elliott likely out, Tony Pollard should see the majority of backfield work for Dallas, giving him RB1 upside as a must-start for fantasy managers. Malik Davis or Qadree Ollison will likely be brought up from the practice squad before Sunday's game.
Oct 29, 2022 • 12:13 AM | RotoBallerEzekiel Elliott Ruled Out For Week 8
Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott (knee) has been ruled out for Week 8 against the Chicago Bears, according to owner Jerry Jones. Things were trending this way when it was announced that Elliott was dealing with a Grade 2 MCL sprain in his knee as well as a thigh bruise earlier this week. The Cowboys are on bye next week, so the 27-year-old will get an extra week to heal up before potentially returning in Week 10 to face the Green Bay Packers on the road. With Elliott sidelined this weekend, Tony Pollard will see the lion's share of the backfield work and should be a must-start option for fantasy managers. Just like last year, Pollard has been more efficient and explosive than Elliott, so he'll have RB1 upside with Elliott out of the picture against Chicago.
Oct 28, 2022 • 4:16 PM | RotoBallerEzekiel Elliott Misses Practice Again
Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott (knee) missed practice for the second straight day on Thursday due to his right knee injury, which is being described as an MCL sprain. Elliott is rehabbing off to the side and is unlikely to play in Week 8 against the Chicago Bears. With the team's bye coming next week, it makes all the sense in the world for Dallas to hold Zeke out so that he has two weeks to rest up. The 27-year-old is also dealing with a thigh bruise. The Cowboys have yet to officially rule Elliott out, but all signs are pointing towards him being inactive this Sunday. Fantasy managers that have Tony Pollard rostered should be ready to fire him up as a must-start this weekend in a lead-back role.
Oct 27, 2022 • 4:01 PM | RotoBallerEzekiel Elliott Likely To Miss Week 8
Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott (knee) is dealing with a sprained right knee and is likely to miss the Week 8 game against the Chicago Bears. Elliott missed practice on Wednesday, and with a bye next week, holding him out would allow him another week's worth of rest. He's coming off a two-touchdown performance in the Week 7 win over the Detroit Lions, and he has 109 carries for 443 yards and four touchdowns so far in 2022. Tony Pollard would see the lion's share of backfield work this weekend if Elliott doesn't play. Pollard has been more efficient and explosive than Elliott this year, averaging 5.6 yards per carry, which ranks ninth among NFL RBs. Pollard is looking like a must-start in fantasy on Sunday if Elliott is indeed out.
Oct 26, 2022 • 7:35 PM | RotoBallerEzekiel Elliott Won't Practice Due To Knee Sprain
Dallas Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy said that running back Ezekiel Elliott (knee) won't practice on Wednesday and will work exclusively with director of rehabilitation Britt Brown. Elliott is dealing with a knee sprain, but it's not the same PCL injury that took his explosiveness away for much of last year. However, the injury is to the same knee, so we'll have to keep a close eye on Elliott's practice participation this week leading up to the Week 8 game against the Chicago Bears. With Dallas' bye coming next week, there's a chance the Cowboys play it safe and hold Zeke out. If that comes to pass, Tony Pollard will be a must-start fantasy RB with lead-back duties this Sunday. Stay tuned for more updates on Elliott's status this week.
