UPDATE 4: Elliott rushed 17 times for 77 yards and a touchdown against the Colts on Sunday. He also caught all three of his targets for 14 yards in a 54-19 rout.
UPDATE 3: SiriusXM NFL Radio’s Adam Caplan has Elliott (knee) listed as questionable for Sunday’s game against the Vikings.
UPĐATE 2: According to Jon Machota of The Athletic, Elliott (knee) practiced in a limited capacity on Thursday.
UPDATE: Ezekiel Elliott (knee) took part in limited practice Wednesday, according to Patrick Walker of the Cowboys’ official website.
Elliott was a limited participant in every practice last week and did not play in the Packers’ eventual loss.
Coach Mike McCarthy stated on Wednesday that the upcoming Thanksgiving game and the short week will have no bearing on Elliott’s active/inactive status this Sunday at Minnesota, telling reporters that Elliott will play if he is ready.
Elliott had a career-low 13.9 carries per game but finished in the top ten among backs in carries, rushing yards, rushing touchdowns, carries inside the 5, routes, targets, and receptions. Elliott has finished each of his six NFL seasons as a top-12 fantasy back, but he has finished outside the top 15 in PPG the last two years.
Elliott, now 27 years old and extremely overworked (1,938 career touches), should be considered a mid-to-backend RB2.
