New England Patriots running back Ezekiel Elliott rushed 13 times for 54 yards during Sunday's loss to the New York Jets. He also caught five of seven targets for an additional 27 yards through the air. The veteran running back logged yet another start with Rhamondre Stevenson (ankle) sidelined and maintained a key role as unfavorable weather conditions interrupted the passing attack. He was particularly impactful in PPR leagues where he added extra points for his five catches. He's headed for free agency where he'll likely earn a spot in a committee or split backfield.

Green Bay Packers running back Kenyan Drake has been released by the organization on Friday. Drake was signed to the practice squad over a month ago. However, he only appeared in one game and had one carry in that contest. It doesn't look like the Packers are going to need Drake heading into their upcoming playoff game. The team will move on from Drake and he'll look to catch on as a backup elsewhere this offseason.
