Ezekiel Elliott fantasy football start 'em, sit 'em picks for Week 2 (2024). Should you start or sit Ezekiel Elliott for fantasy football lineups?
BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: RB3/Flex
ANALYSIS: Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott saw the slight majority in a timeshare in the opening week and remains a solid RB3/flex play in Week 2 as he will face the New Orleans Saints.
In his return to Dallas, Elliott saw 10 rushing attempts for 40 yards and a score. He added nine yards through the air on two catches.
Say what you want about Ezekiel Elliott. But he has a nose for the end zone.

Elliot logged 30 total snaps, while Rico Dowdle fell just below him with 27 snaps. Fantasy managers should expect a similar timeshare to continue throughout the majority of the season.
However, given how potent the Cowboys' passing attack is, Elliott should have ample opportunities near the red zone every week, which does give him the weekly upside for a touchdown. The 29-year-old remains a safe floor option as he lacks the upside given the limitations on his workload heading into Week 2.
