Should You Start or Sit Ezekiel Elliott in Week 11?
Tyler Allgeier saw his role potentially vanish by struggling at the goal line during Week 10 and Ezekiel Elliott did him one better by fumbling away his opportunity to punch in a score.
The veteran back hasn’t cleared 10 rush attempts in a game this season and only has one reception since September, making him a pretty clear cut in all formats if he is still on the end of your roster for some reason. Elliott played just 21.4% of the snaps on Sunday, and by putting the ball on the ground for an offense that already has enough problems, that rate appears more likely to regress than progress in the coming weeks.
