Although limited in his time on the field, New England Patriots RB Ezekiel Elliott still managed to make an impact on his new team in Week 1. And although he’s still not viewed as the Patriots’ featured back, with Rhamondre Stevenson still expected to receive the bulk of the carries, there are prop bets out there worth taking advantage of with Elliott.

Elliott Betting Trends and Stats
The Dolphins allowed the third-fewest rushing yards by running backs last season (1,160).
Elliott Best Bet
Elliott was on the field for only 28 of the Patriots’ offensive plays last week, but he more than made his presence felt in Week 1. Zeke led the Patriots in rushing yards (29), and he caught five passes out of the backfield, albeit for only 14 yards.

Elliott has shown that even if his time on the field doesn’t increase, he’s still good enough to produce for New England. That is why I’m going to predict the former two-time NFL rushing leader will get some more carries tonight vs. the Dolphins.
You have a choice of taking the over in rush attempts or rushing yards with Elliott. Since the odds are better with rushing yards, that’s where I’m leaning.
Ezekiel Elliott Best Bet: Over on 23.5 Rushing Yards (-110 at DraftKings)
