Ezekiel Elliott

Ezekiel Elliott rushed 10 times for 34 yards and a touchdown in the Cowboys’ Week 8 loss to the 49ers, adding four yards on his lone reception.

Zeke got the spot start with lead back Rico Dowdle held out with an illness, accounting for 11 of the 18 backfield opportunities split with recent acquisition Dalvin Cook. Even with the increase in role, Zeke rushed to only 3.4 yards per carry and owns a career-low 3.1 yards per carry mark on the season. Any fantasy value remaining has quickly gone with the wind on the veteran back.
