Fantasy football impact: Ezekiel Elliott (Knee)
Through four weeks, Elliott is the RB5 overall in half-PPR scoring formats. He has rebounded extremely well after a season-opening 4.9 fantasy point performance. Elliott has 64 receptions for 342 yards and four touchdowns on the ground. He has caught seven of eight receptions for an additional 53 yards through the air. If Elliott starts, he should be started without hesitation in your fantasy lineups.
Backup running back Tony Pollard has carved out a nice role for himself this season. Even if Elliott starts, Pollard has shown that he has a weekly FLEX appeal. If Elliott starts, FLEX Pollard sits, START Pollard.
