Who Should I Start? Ezekiel Elliott or DeAndre Hopkins

Friday, April 26, 2:07 PM

The Dallas Cowboys could draft a running back on Day 2 of the 2024 NFL draft on Friday night with one of their three picks, but that choice won't change the expectation that free-agent running back Ezekiel Elliott will return to Dallas' backfield in 2024 to complement and help mentor a rookie. Dallas Morning News' Michael Gehlken is reporting that Elliott's signing with the Cowboys is increasingly imminent. Elliott's agent met with Dallas on Wednesday, and the Cowboys have been connected with the 28-year-old RB throughout the offseason. The Cowboys lost Tony Pollard to free agency this offseason but have Rico Dowdle and Deuce Vaughn. If Elliott were to return to Big D, he'll be in a complementary role and will be an RB3/flex, at best, in fantasy after putting up a career-low 3.5 yards per carry in 2023 with New England.

Tennessee Titans wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins caught seven of his 10 targets for 46 yards and a touchdown in the Week 18 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. Hopkins notably earned a $500,000 bonus for reaching 75 receptions on Sunday. He also secured a $1 million bonus for reaching 1,050 receiving yards. It was a great day for the veteran, and his season will come to a close with a total of 75 catches for 1,057 yards and seven touchdowns. Assuming he's in Tennessee next year, he'll continue to operate as the clear No. 1 wide receiver -- presumably for quarterback Will Levis.
