Ezekiel Elliott is a fantasy football waiver wire pickup option for running backs. Target him as a free agent add off waivers for Week 6 of the 2023 NFL season.
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 44% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Ezekiel Elliott saw a season-high 46% snap share as a Patriot in Week 5 and has hauled in 15 passes on the season. All of a sudden, he has some PPR value as a desperation flex option.
The Patriots offense is horrific and Elliott has little juice left, but deep leaguers with a glaring need at running back can give him a look. Just don’t get too optimistic about his upside. There's also a chance New England has played him more since they've been blown out in each of the last two games, so it's tough trust him in starting lineups yet.
