Ezekiel Elliott - Page 2 - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Time in Dallas over The Cowboys will waive Elliott on Tuesday, Josina Anderson of BovadaHub.com reports.

Impact According to Anderson, Elliott asked for his release ahead of the Cowboys' season finale Sunday versus the Commanders, and Dallas honored his request. His second stint in Dallas left much to be desired, as Elliott scored three touchdowns and averaged a career-low 3.1 yards on 74 carries to go with 12 receptions for 69 yards over his 15 appearances. He was also a healthy inactive for a Week 9 loss to the Falcons, after a slew of missed meetings prompted Dallas to hold him out for that contest. While Elliott will be eligible to catch on with a contending team ahead of the playoffs once he clears waivers, he could struggle to find an opportunity after averaging fewer than 4.0 yards per carry in three straight seasons and offering no value on special teams.

Finds end zone on lone carry Elliott rushed once for a one-yard touchdown in Sunday's 26-24 win over the Buccaneers.

Impact Elliott made the most of his one carry, finding the end zone from one yard out for his third rushing touchdown of the season. The 29-year-old running back played just three offensive snaps in the contest, while teammate Rico Dowdle continued to lead the backfield with 46 snaps in the game. With such limited opportunities, Elliott remains off the fantasy radar heading into a Week 17 matchup against the Eagles.

Does little with increased volume Elliot gained 30 rushing yards on nine carries and caught his only target for 11 yards in Sunday's win over the Panthers.

Impact The veteran running back saw double-digit touches for the first time since Week 8, while his 41 scrimmage yards were his highest total since Week 1. Elliott still took a clear back seat to Rico Dowdle, who ran for a career-high 149 yards on 25 totes. Even with the Cowboys' running game finding another gear in recent weeks due to improved play from the offensive line, Elliott doesn't seem likely to take advantage.

Remains afterthought in offense Elliott gained four yards on his lone carry in a 27-20 win over the Giants on Thanksgiving.

Impact The veteran back saw only nine snaps, his lowest workload of the season, and over the last three games Elliott has managed only 34 scrimmage yards on eight total touches. With Rico Dowdle cementing himself at the top of the backfield depth chart, there isn't much of a path for Elliott to have significant fantasy value.

2024 NFL MVP: Can a non-QB win MVP? Here are 5 since 2012 who came close

Four touches in loss Elliott rushed once for eight yards and caught all three of his targets for 16 yards in Monday's 34-10 loss to the Texans.

Impact Elliott played 31 percent of the Cowboys' 83 offensive snaps Monday, and increase from the 21 percent snap share he handled in Week 10. Despite the bump in playing time, the veteran running back was unable to produce much in the way of fantasy relevant statistics. With teammate Rico Dowdle operating as the clear-cut No. 1 running back in Dallas, Elliott's fantasy utility has all but disappeared. The 29-year-old will be extremely difficult to trust for fantasy purposes in a Week 12 matchup against the Commanders.

Coughs up fumble in blowout loss Elliott (suspension) rushed six times for 22 yards while losing a fumble in Sunday's 34-6 loss to Philadelphia.

Impact Elliott returned from a team-mandated one-game suspension to resume his backup role for the Cowboys. The veteran tailback didn't make a case to earn more carries upon his return, losing one of four Dallas fumbles Sunday. With Rico Dowdle handling the lead back role, it is safe to leave Elliott on waivers ahead of next Monday's tilt against Houston.
