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.

Roschon Johnson Trending Towards A Return In Week 16

Thursday, December 19, 3:26 PM

Chicago Bears running back Roschon Johnson (concussion) practiced in full for the second straight day this week and is on his way towards clearing the league's concussion protocol and returning to action this Sunday in Week 16 against the division-rival Detroit Lions. Johnson has missed the team's last two games due to a concussion but is trending in the right direction to return this weekend. He still needs final clearance from an independent neurologist later this week, though, to get the final green light to play. Even if Johnson is active against the Lions on Sunday, he won't have any real standalone fantasy value with a lot on the line in leagues this weekend. He's been the clear backup behind D'Andre Swift on game days and hasn't been a reliable producer, although he has chipped in six rushing touchdowns. Perhaps if Chicago's offense was more reliable.
