Ezekiel Elliott

This rookie has been lights out this year so far.  It doesn’t hurt the fact that his offensive line is outstanding!  His lowest points per game this season was in week 1 with only 11 points.  I’d be very happy if any of my running backs got me 11 points and more per game.

Elliott will be facing a Cleveland Browns defense that isn’t very good.  The way that Elliott has been running this year has been great and I don’t see him slowing.  The only thing that might slow him down is injuries or if his off the field issue comes back to haunt him.

The good thing about Elliott is that he can also catch the ball out of the backfield which opens up the Cowboys offense even more.  With everything that Elliott does, I can see him getting 175 yards on the ground and through the air.  He’ll also score a couple touchdowns that will help the Cowboys win easily over the Browns.
