How is the board feeling about Zeke this season in standard scoring? Anybody actually worried about Tony Pollard stealing touches?

He's great for standard. I wouldn't be too worried about Pollard stealing touches. But, Make sure that you get Pollard in the draft even if you have to reach a round early for him.

quote:

Elliott averaged 22.3 FPG in games Prescott played. That would have ranked 3rd-best over the full season.

2B. Throughout his career, Elliott averages +7.5 more FPG in wins than losses. Using these splits, and based on Vegas’ 2021 win-total expectation of 9.5 for the Cowboys, we can expect Elliott’s FPG average to jump from 15.4 to 19.4. For perspective, that would have been the difference between finishing 15th and 5th at the position last year.

2C. Elliott also had the league's 5th-toughest schedule last season (-1.45). But, lucky for him, his schedule ranks 5th most-improved, and worth a boost of about +0.69 to his FPG average.

2D. Dallas’ offensive line ranked 27th-best by PFF last year, but ranks (projected) 6th-best this year with everyone healthy.

2E. Due to some brutal touchdown luck, Elliott finished 5.4 touchdowns shy of his volume-based expectation in 2020, which ranked worst among all players. This alone was worth a boost of +2.2 FPG to his 2020 average, or the difference between him finishing 15th and 6th at the position.

2F. In other words, 2020 was a total outlier year in which everything that could have gone wrong did go wrong, and he’s an easy top-5 pick in fantasy drafts.

I dont have any shares of Zeke but honestly, I'd be excited if I had him.


I don't think he will finish as the #1 overall RB but he's got a very safe floor. I cant imagine him finishing lower than RB5 if Dak is healthy. He's as steady as they come

He fell to 9th in my 10 man .5 PPR league last weekend. Was happy to grab him and Tyreek on the turn. Had to double check and make sure he wasn’t hurt/suspended.

Similar, fell to 11 in 12 man. No real outlier picks either. Needless to say I was happy for the gift.

I got him at #8 and was stoked. If Dak stays healthy he has a chance to be a top 3 RB.
