RB Ezekiel Elliott, LAC (2 Viewers)

[BroncoFreak_2K3]

He's only 28, but seems like 38.

See my post just above about the players older than him that he is currently ranked behind.

If those players can do it, no reason Zeke can't.

there are some hard miles on that odometer though. its not just about age, its also about usage. though I think fully in shape and if he stays healthy he can have a good year.

its the staying healthy thing that may be the most difficult if they use him a lot.

I like Zeke, and hope he has a good year. I just question whether hes a starting RB for fantasy anymore. if you can get him as a RB3 I think you've done ok. and if you somehow get him as your RB4, youve done really well. the latest ADP i found on him had him as the 39th RB off the board at 123 overall (on average), and thats RB4 territory. at that price I dont think you can lose. even if you want to grab him a round earlier to make sure you get him I dont think you will be disappointed at the price.

Agree. But Henry doesn't??

I'm not saying Zeke is an RB2 here. Just that he may present great value at his ADP.

yeah its a lot easier to swallow any risks with Zeke because of where you can pick him.

Henry has been a whole lot more durable than Zeke has been. I'm less concerned about injury with him but its still a concern as hes now 30. 50% of the time RB's hit the wall at this age due to injury. 50% due to skills fading. and its nearly impossible to predict which will affect who.

so depending on ADP I may or may not endorse drafting Henry. right now it feels like his ADP is a bit higher than it should be given the risks.

Zeke is as durable as durable gets. He also plays on a better offense, is a better receiver and doesn't have Lamar vulturing TD's.

Again, not saying he is a 3rd round pick, but the guy could get 60 yards a game and a TD. Not to mention 2-3 catches.
If Dallas doesn't bring in a Herbert, etc I think Zeke presents really good value.

at his ADP he presents excellent value to be clear.
Last I checked his ADP was in the region where most RB4's go. and I'd be more than happy enough to have him as my RB4

This dude droppable now? Thinking of dropping him and picking up Mattison as an end of bench flyer. Mattison seems to be getting better production than Zeke is for the cost.

I dropped him for Jalen Brooks. It was just time to let Zeke go. It was a good ride, but I think it is over. He is 29, and to me, he looks like he lost a step or two.

Yes.

yes, I think I have to agree. hes not performed to the level I had hoped, and neither has any part of the dallas offense. The line also has not been as good as they have been in the past. its been a comedy of errors for the whole offense. Dak has been able to put up some stats in garbage time so his stats have looked better than they should. Dak really hasnt been very good to be honest.

I feel like the only players you want are Dak and Ceedee and the rest are matchup dependant plays at best

For me, it is not just about this season but the total picture of many factors. I most likely held on too long, but being a Buckeye fan and following his career made it a tad harder. I have no real regrets. He performed okay in the last few years, but the decline has happened, and it happened a couple of years ago.

well, its funny, Daks scouting report coming out of college was that hes good when he has time to throw but not nearly as good when he doesnt. but then he drops into the Cowboys roster. at the time I thought this kid actually has a shot at being decent. the line will cover up most of his deficiencies.

then Romo got hurt, and he got his shot and made good on the opportunity.

even though the line hasnt been quite as good in recent years they still were playing in what was one of the easier divisions in football, so the deficiencies were not as apparent.

this year though the line took a step backwards (in my opinion) and i think a couple members of the line have hit their expiry date (or are near the expiry date) and they need some good young talent in there. I still think if the line performs, the rest of the offense will be able to play. but for me, it all begins and ends there. Daks running ability does cover up some deficiencies but it may now be to a point where thats not enough. Dak is also getting older so he cant run all the time either. I dont think you'd want him to either. Hed get hurt if he did.
