Fantasy football, Week 7: Ezekiel Elliott, start or sit?

For at least one more week, the Dallas Cowboys will have Ezekiel Elliott.

As Elliott continues his battle with the NFL in the courts, he’s still allowed to play on the field as Dallas faces the San Francisco 49ers in Week 7. Elliott hasn’t had quite the sophomore season he was hoping for, but he still enters Week 7 ranked eighth among running backs in fantasy points per game.

Coming off a bye week, expect the Cowboys and Elliott to run over the 49ers this Sunday. This could be Elliott’s final game before an impending six-game suspension, so expect the Cowboys to ride him heavily against the winless 49ers.

Fantasy Advice: Elliott will face a 49ers defense among the NFL’s worst at stopping the run, allowing the second-most fantasy points to running backs this season. There’s still no questioning Elliott’s must-start status every week, so roll with him against the 49ers.
