Fantasy Football 2018: 10 matchups to attack in Week 11
By Connor Ulrey
4. Ezekiel Elliott vs Atlanta
Zeke ate last week, that’s for certain. The Cowboys were a team that not many liked on the road in Philadelphia and they came out with the win, in large part to their lead back. Isn’t it crazy when you let your offense run through a top five running back in the league you do well?
Elliott ran all over Philadelphia finishing with 151 yards and a touchdown on 19 carries. Add in six receptions for 36 yards and another score and it’s a wrap. Elliott should continue to perform this week against Atlanta.
Dak has played well lately and if the passing game continues to grow together and become a tough stop, Elliott could make another big splash. The Falcons pass defense continues to struggle but their run defense hasn’t been much better. Nick Chubb set the Browns record for longest rush (92 yards) last week in the win for Cleveland. Elliott getting a 94-yard run this week? Alright, not that crazy but it wouldn’t be too crazy to think he finds the end zone a couple more times.
Zeke likely won’t surpass his excellent rookie campaign but he is already at a career high in receptions so look for that to factor in again this week!
