Ezekiel Elliott Off Fantasy Radar Despite Favorable Matchup

Thursday, November 28, 12:17 AM

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott remains off the fantasy radar heading into Thursday's game against the New York Giants. The veteran has appeared in 10 games this season and has been held to single-digit fantasy points in all but one of his performances since Week 1. His role was minimal last week as he rushed for just six yards on three carries and was not involved in the passing game. Even against a Giants defense allowing the ninth-most fantasy points to opposing running backs, Elliott should be avoided in all leagues.

Aaron Jones In A Favorable Spot Vs. Seattle

Friday, December 20, 5:09 PM

Minnesota Vikings running back Aaron Jones has another exploitable outing on tap in Week 16 in a road tilt with the Seattle Seahawks. The veteran is in the midst of a nice stretch, with a touchdown in four straight games and three appearances of at least 16 fantasy points. He's commanded fewer targets recently than earlier in the season (likely due to the emergence of Jordan Addison). However, he has still registered at least two receptions in all but two contests. Despite allowing just nine rushing scores, Seattle has favored fantasy RBs in 2024 -; letting up the seventh-most rushing yards (109.43) and tenth-most fantasy points per game (24.8) to running backs. Jones clocks in as RotoBaller's PPR RB16 in this week's ranks.
