Ezekiel Elliott Has Favorable Matchup In Week 16
11 months agoNew England Patriots running back Ezekiel Elliott could benefit from a favorable matchup against the Denver Broncos on Sunday evening. The veteran has made two starts in place of Rhamondre Stevenson (ankle) but produced mixed results. In fact, he totaled 140 yards and one touchdown in Week 14 before being held to just 46 carries last Sunday. With that said, he should bounce back this week with a much more favorable matchup on tap. The Broncos have struggled to defend the run, allowing the most rushing yards per game (129.0) and the second-most fantasy points per game (22.2) to opposing running backs. Just last week, Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery ran wild on Denver, amassing 190 total yards and two touchdowns. Needless to say, Elliott, with this backfield all to himself, is a viable RB2 option for fantasy football.
