The Dallas Cowboys will face the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 14. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, especially regarding RB Ezekiel Elliott.
Is Ezekiel Elliott Playing in Week 14?
Elliott is not listed on the injury report this week, so barring any setbacks, he is on track to play this weekend.
We’ll continue to monitor the Cowboys’ injury report. You can also visit and bookmark our NFL Injury Tracker and Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.
Should You Start or Sit Ezekiel Elliott in Week 14?
Elliott’s name holds value, but his role and form simply do not. Rico Dowdle has been labeled as the bell cow in Dallas, a role that he’s not in any danger of losing.
If Zeke was getting every non-Dowdle carry, we might be able to squint and justify rostering the veteran, but that’s not even close to the case — he got one of the 10 rush attempts that didn’t go to the starter (Hunter Luepke had three).
You’re not optimizing your roster if Elliott is still kicking around the back end of it.
