Ezekiel Elliott Could Be Even Better Without Dak Prescott
4 years agoDallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott remains a surefire RB1 and could even improve his fantasy production without Dak Prescott (ankle) in the lineup. Week 6 will be Andy Dalton's first start as Cowboys quarterback, and while he should be more than able to move the offense, he does not have the rushing talent that Prescott has and won't be running in touchdowns like Prescott did. The Cowboys offense will have to run through Elliott much more than it did with Dak sharing some of the rushing work. "Zeke" has 364 rushing yards and 173 receiving yards with six total touchdowns so far. He's one of the top three running back choices for Week 6 lineups and his fantasy arrow is pointing up despite the overall downgrade to the Dallas offense.
