Ezekiel Elliott has had little trouble running away from defenders this season, but he’s having a tougher time staying ahead of the NFL.
Fantasy football start/sit, Week 9: What to do with Ezekiel Elliott on Sunday

The league continues to try and enforce a six-game suspension initially given to the star running back before the season began. Elliott was able to delay the suspension on several occasions, including this week after it appeared his suspension was set to begin in Week 9.
Elliott is once again among the NFL’s best running backs in just his sophomore season. He’ll look to carry the Dallas Cowboys to another win when they host the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 9.
Fantasy advice: Elliott is set to face a Chiefs defense allowing the sixth-most fantasy points to running backs over the last three weeks. It’s a great matchup, and there’s no question you’ll start Elliott, but you also should be finding a replacement for him if his suspension takes effect next week.
