Ezekiel Elliott Hoping To Keep Touchdown Streak Alive
2 years agoDallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott may not have the fantasy upside of backfield mate Tony Pollard, but Elliott has nine rushing touchdowns in the last seven games for his fantasy managers. Scoring for an eighth straight game will be a tall task against a tough Philadelphia Eagles defense in Week 16 on Saturday, but Elliott began his current TD streak with 81 rushing yards and a score on 13 carries against these same Eagles in Week 6. The 27-year-old has 10 rushing touchdowns on the year and has become a touchdown-dependent RB2 while working alongside Pollard. Elliott has yet to go over 100 yards rushing in 2022. The Eagles D is middle of the pack in terms of fantasy points per game allowed to the RB position, and they're surrendering 121.1 rushing yards per contest.
