Ezekiel Elliott will be back in the Dallas Cowboys’ lineup Sunday for a pivotal matchup with the Seattle Seahawks. Elliott returns after serving a six-game suspension for violating the NFL’s personal conduct policy. The sophomore rusher fought the suspension the first eight games of the season and started his suspension in Week 10. The Cowboys struggled without Elliott in the lineup, losing the first three games while he was absent. They were able to rebound and win the last three games without him. Elliott trained in Mexico during his six-week break.

Elliott returns to a wonderful matchup against the Seattle Seahawks on Christmas Eve. The Seahawks were just gashed by Los Angeles Rams RB Todd Gurley for 152 yards and three rushing touchdowns in Week 15. They gave up the third-most rushing touchdowns to backs so far this season.
Fantasy impact: The Cowboys and fantasy owners are ecstatic to get Elliott back in their lineup. Elliott will go back to being the workhorse and main contributor in the Cowboys’ offense Sunday. He should have no problems running over an injury-decimated Seahawks defense. He should definitely be in your finals lineup this week.
