Ezekiel Elliott, Dallas Cowboys, $8,400

Stats: 831 rushing yards, 4 touchdowns, 262 receiving yards, 2 touchdowns 

With 1,093 total yards from scrimmage and six touchdowns, Ezekiel Elliott has placed himself once again as a top fantasy option from the running back position. Elliott dominated the Philadelphia Eagles defense on Sunday Night Football. He rushed for 151 yards and a touchdown, adding 36 receiving yards and another score. Elliott remains a RB1 moving forward.

Elliott has completed his comeback season after his latest outing. Ranking in the top five in total rushing yards and yards per game, while also ranking in the top five in overall carries and carries per game. Although low on overall touchdowns, Elliott still remains a high-value play for Week 11 based on his high volume and high floor this season. He has regained his position as the gear that churns this offense.

Week 11 also boasts a great matchup for the Cowboys offense as the Atlanta Falcons are currently 30th-ranked in the NFL defensively. This might turn out to be a one sided affair for the Cowboys as their defense is much better and will look to stop the potentially dangerous Falcons offense. The Falcons have had a up and down season as they have allowed 414 total yards per game, 294 passing yards and 119 rushing yards per game this season.

Zeke and the Boys shouldn’t have any problems scoring early and often in Atlanta this Sunday. This game could potentially be a shootout as well. It wouldn’t surprise us at all if that were to occur. Zeke does come into Week 11 as the fifth-most expensive running back on the board. Which makes him a great high-value play. Don’t pass up on what could be and most likely will be this weekend.

Prediction: 130 rushing yards, 50 receiving yards, 2 total touchdowns
