Ezekiel Elliott's Workload To Be Managed?
3 years agoDallas Cowboys star running back Ezekiel Elliott could see a slight drop in touches this season compared to years past. Head coach Mike McCarthy spoke to reporters on Friday about Elliott's workload, saying "We've got some younger guys who can play and produce, so it's not necessary for Zeke to run the ball 25-30 times a game. When you get to December, January football, you want him to be in top form." Elliott's fantasy upside could be slightly capped if he's not touching the ball 25-30 times a game, but he still projects for a heavy workload and should see around 20 touches per game. Elliott's status as a first-round RB1 is still intact, but his ceiling could be lower than anticipated.
