What is Ezekiel Elliott’s fantasy football status, DFS price for Week 13?
Ezekiel Elliott carried the ball 21 times for 86 yards and caught four passes for 40 yards in a loss to the New England Patriots. Heading into Week 13, he will look to find his way back into the end zone against the Buffalo Bills on Thanksgiving afternoon.
What is Ezekiel Elliott’s fantasy football status, DFS price for Week 12?
Ezekiel Elliott scored two touchdowns on Sunday against the Detroit Lions and rushed for 45 yards with 28 receiving yards.

What is Ezekiel Elliott’s fantasy football status, DFS price for Week 11?
Ezekiel Elliott had the worst performance he’s had this fantasy football season against the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday Night Football. He was held to 47 yards on 20 carries and was held out of the end zone. Elliott caught two balls for 16 yards.
With what Elliott has done in 2019, it’s fair to say we can expect a bounce back performance from Elliott and the Cowboys going into a matchup against Detroit. He is the second most expensive running back behind Christian McCaffrey heading into Week 11’s matchup at $9,000. The Lions ranked last against running backs this season. Elliott should be set for a big day.
What is Ezekiel Elliott’s fantasy football status, DFS price for Week 10?
Ezekiel Elliott rushed for 139 yards on 23 carries in a win over the New York Giants. Elliott did what star running backs do on Monday night, except he was held out of the end zone and recorded zero catches. He now has five 100-yard games on the season including three in a row.
Heading into Week 10, Elliott is the third-highest priced running back at $8,900 behind Christian McCaffrey and Dalvin Cook. The Cowboys have a matchup with the Minnesota Vikings, coming off a loss to a Patrick Mahomes-less Kansas City Chiefs. It could be a tough matchup, but Elliott provides value and produces week after week.
What is Ezekiel Elliott’s fantasy football status, DFS price for Week 9?
Ezekiel Elliott is coming fresh off a bye week and will have a favorable matchup on Monday Night Football against the New York Giants. Elliott is the third highest priced running back in week 9 at $8,900 behind only Christian McCaffrey and Dalvin Cook.
Elliott should be ready to go especially having the week off to rest after a combined 50 carries the last two weeks. With that workload, talent and an offense that heavily uses a running back, he has been among the most reliable players in fantasy football in 2019. Elliott scored a touchdown in all but one game this season.
What is Ezekiel Elliott’s fantasy football status, DFS price for Week 8?
Ezekiel Elliott carried the ball 22 times for 111 yards with a touchdown in the Dallas Cowboys beat down of the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday night. He also caught six passes for 36 yards.
The Cowboys have a bye in Week 8, but Elliott has a favorable matchup with the New York Giants in Week 9. If you were brave enough to select Elliott with the uncertainty of his contract dispute in the preseason, you must be one happy fantasy owner because he gets a ton of carries and makes the most of them.
What is Ezekiel Elliott’s fantasy football status, DFS price for Week 7?
Ezekiel Elliott rushed for 105 yards and a touchdown on a whopping 28 carries during Sunday’s loss against the New York Jets. He also caught five passes for 47 yards.
With the massive workload Elliott will continue to have every week, he will be right around the top of most expensive running backs in daily fantasy. That’s the case in Week 7 when he is the second-highest priced back at $8,100. It’s an expensive price, but you know he will be getting his touches against the Philadelphia Eagles.
What is Ezekiel Elliott’s fantasy football status, DFS price for Week 6?
Despite a decent outing from Ezekiel Elliott against the Packers, fantasy owners had to leave the game disappointed. The matchup was perfect, going up against a run defense that has struggled in 2019, but unfortunately for Elliott owners, the Cowboys tailed big early, leading to more passes than usual. He carried the ball 12 times for 62 yards with a touchdown.
The 14 touches were a season-low for Elliott, who looks to bounce back on Sunday against the Jets. He returns to the No. 1 most expensive running back going into Week 6 at $8,500, and New York provides a nice bounceback opportunity this weekend.
What is Ezekiel Elliott’s fantasy football status, DFS price for Week 5?
Ezekiel Elliott carried the ball 18 times for 35 yards in a game against the New Orleans Saints on Monday Night Football. He also caught six balls for 30 yards and ran for a touchdown late to add to what wasn’t a great performance by Dallas.
Elliott dropped down to the fourth highest priced running back going into Week 5 at $8,300 against a Packer defense that cannot stop the run. This is a perfect matchup for Zeke to bounce back, and he should be ranked as the top back this week. He should be able to find pay dirt multiple times and touch the ball 20 or more times. That’s about all you can ask for from your stud running back.
What is Ezekiel Elliott’s fantasy football status, DFS price for Week 4?
A true workhorse back is becoming more and more rare every season, and Ezekiel Elliott is just that. If you took the gamble in your draft and went after him early, you’re reaping the benefits. Elliott went for 125 yards on 19 carries but unfortunately was kept out of the end zone on Sunday against Miami. Fantasy owners cannot complain, but if we’re being greedy, it would’ve been nice to see more going up against the lowly Dolphins.
Expect another big week for Elliott as Dallas heads to New Orleans for Sunday Night Football. He is listed as the most expensive back heading into Week 4 at $8,900, and to be honest, it might be worth it. The Saints are without Drew Brees and it’s possible Dallas pulls ahead early and controls the rest of the game, keeping the ball on the ground.
What is Ezekiel Elliott’s fantasy football status, DFS price for Week 3?
If there were conditioning concerns about Ezekiel Elliott coming off his holdout, we can probably put them in the rear view mirror entirely. A week after splitting work with Tony Pollard in his 2019 debut, Elliott was the clear workhorse in Week 2. He rushed 23 times for 111 yards and a touchdown and added nine yards on two receptions, finishing the day with 23 DKFP.
The Cowboys host the abysmal Miami Dolphins in Week 3, and has seen his price increase $200 to $8,900. He will likely be a popular pick this weekend in DFS, and you have to decide just how much playing time he might see. If this game turns into a blowout, does Tony Pollard get more work?
What is Ezekiel Elliott’s fantasy football status, DFS price for Week 2?
Going into the weekend, we did not really know what to expect fro Ezekiel Elliott as he works his way back from a holdout through most of training camp. He fared well in limited work going for 53 yards on 13 carries. He also added a 10-yard touchdown run in the third quarter.
As the second-highest priced running back at $8,700, he is not worth that type of price tag going into Week 2 as he continues to get into the swing of things. The Cowboys expect to be a good football team this year, and they need him for the stretch run. Find a better option in daily, but you probably have no choice but to stick him in your lineup in the traditional fantasy game.
Ezekiel Elliott 2019 fantasy football preview
A major question mark among fantasy players continues to be what to do with Ezekiel Elliott, who has yet to report to camp in a contract dispute. An offseason is never quiet in Dallas and it remains to be seen what the near future holds for one of the top backs in the league whose name is brought up constantly by Jerry Jones, a man who has never met a microphone he didn’t like.
Elliott is one of the most valuable players in fantasy as a true workhorse back in a league that values a crowded backfield. As the lone player to reach more than 300 carries in 2018, he led the league with 1,434 yards on the ground.
The Cowboys need Elliott to be the most successful version of themselves this season, and Jones will do whatever it takes to win. Dallas puts out a rare offense that builds through the running game. If he’s on the field, he’s a top RB1. Dallas needs him, and fantasy owners need him.
What is Ezekiel Elliott’s fantasy football status, DFS price for Week 1?
Elliott enters the opening week of the season as the No. 1 ranked running back on DraftKings with a $9,200 salary, ahead of Saquon Barkley and Christian McCaffrey. Though going up against the Giants is a favorable matchup, select Zeke with caution because there are still no guarantees he even suits up Week 1.
