Dallas Cowboys RB Ezekiel Elliott rushed just once for eight yards in Week 11 against the Houston Texans, while adding three receptions for 16 yards on three targets.
Huddle Up: How the mighty have fallen. Elliott's previous career low in a single game was three carries in Week 3 against the Baltimore Ravens, and he has hit double-digit carries just twice this season. He has fallen behind Rico Dowdle on the depth chart, and even Deuce Vaughn out-touched him on MNF. Zeke can longer be trusted outside of the very deepest of fantasy leagues at this juncture.

Dallas Cowboys RB Ezekiel Elliott ran the ball six times for 22 yards in a Week 10 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. Elliott also fumbled once with the Eagles recovering the ball in the end zone for a touchback to end Dallas' best drive of the day.
Huddle Up: Back after a one-game suspension, Elliott had a brutal fumble that ended a long drive when the game was still competitive -- the Eagles led, 7-3, when Elliott fumbled at the goal line. Given where Dallas is, you wonder if Elliott makes it to the end of the season with the club, especially if the losses keep piling up. He has marginal fantasy value at this point.

Dallas Cowboys RB Ezekiel Elliott won't travel with the team or play in Week 9 game for disciplinary reasons, according to a source on Saturday, Nov. 2.
Huddle Up: With Elliott out, that should give a boost to both Rico Dowdle and Dalvin Cook, who has been elevated for the second straight week. Dowdle is the better play, but neither one is a suggested lineup option.

Dallas Cowboys RB Ezekiel Elliott rushed 10 times for 34 yards and a touchdown and caught his only target for four yards in Week 8 against the San Francisco 49ers.
Huddle Up: Elliott handled more of the backfield work than expected on Sunday night after Rico Dowdle (illness) was ruled out earlier in the day. As expected, Elliott did not do much with his opportunity. If it says anything about where he is at age 29, the 34 rushing yards is his second-highest total of the season. Elliott figures to slide back into his usual backup role in Week 9 and will not be worth using in most fantasy leagues despite facing the accommodating run defense of the Atlanta Falcons.

Dallas Cowboys RB Ezekiel Elliott rushed eight times for 17 yards in a 47-9 loss to the Detroit Lions in Week 6.
Huddle Up: Elliott continues to struggle running the ball, and for the second game in a row, he didn't have a reception. There is no reason to hold on to Elliott at this point.

Dallas Cowboys RB Ezekiel Elliott rushed six times for 17 yards and did not catch his only target in Week 5 versus the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Huddle Up: Rico Dowdle handled the ball 22 times, making it clear that he is now the lead - if not the featured - back. Elliott's role in the offense has declined dramatically since Week 1 to the point where he can probably be dropped in most leagues. Even in the middle of the bye-week season, managers can do better - especially in Week 6 against the stingy run defense of the Detroit Lions.

Dallas Cowboys RB Ezekiel Elliott (illness) fully participated in practice Friday, Oct. 4, and is not on the injury report for Week 5.
Huddle Up: Elliott likely will see a limited amount of carries in the running game this week against the Pittsburgh Steelers but should be avoided in fantasy leagues.

Dallas Cowboys RB Ezekiel Elliott (illness) was limited during practice Thursday, Oct. 3.
Huddle Up: Elliott was dealing with dehydration and should be fine for the Week 5 game. He has been held to under 20 yards in each of the last three games and probably can be avoided in all fantasy leagues.

Dallas Cowboys RB Ezekiel Elliott posted five carries for 19 yards against the New York Giants on Thursday, Sept. 26. He added one reception (on one target) for five yards.
Huddle Up: In three games since posting 49 yards and a tuddy in Week 1, Elliott has totaled 32, 12, and 24 total yards, respectively. He's logged fewer touches than backfield mate Rico Dowdle in each of those three contests as well. While Elliott wasn't viewed as more than a low-end RB3 or flex candidate coming into the season, the veteran is currently falling well short of that designation. He should be kept on the bench for the time being, and those in standard formats could even consider him expendable if a roster spot is needed.

Dallas Cowboys RB Ezekiel Elliott rushed three times for just six yards in Week 3 against the Baltimore Ravens, and he had one grab for six yards on two targets.
Huddle Up: The Cowboys fell behind early, and were getting blown out for three quarters, so Zeke's role shrunk significantly. Rico Dowdle is better at catching the ball out of the backfield, so he was the tailback for most of the second half, totaling 11 touches to Elliott's four. We'll see what the breakdown is heading into Week 4 against the New York Giants on the road Thursday. It's concerning, as Zeke was already a RB3 or flex play in most fantasy leagues, and his arrow is definitely pointing down right now.
