Ezekiel Elliott 2019 Outlook
The Cowboys officially picked up their fifth-year option on Elliott in May, so he's now under contract through the 2020 season. Dallas knows they will have to pay Elliott soon enough, but with Amari Cooper and Dak Prescott both up for free agency after the 2019 campaign, ensuring Zeke is under contract through 2020 frees up the franchise tag in case the Cowboys need it to secure their QB or top WR next year. Contract aside, we know what we're getting here: volume. In 2018, Elliott ran to his second rushing title in three seasons. And while there's a perception that he's a run-only back (Elliott notched 58 total receptions in his first two NFL seasons), that's really not the case. Indeed, beyond Elliott's value in the running game, where he gained 1,434 yards on 304 attempts, he added a whopping 77 receptions last year for another 567 yards. That's 381 touches, and 2,001 yards from scrimmage. His 77 catches last year put him in a tie for 22nd in the league with Odell Beckham Jr. There's significant fantasy value in that kind of dual-threat production; indeed, he accounted for over a third (36.3 percent) of the team's entire offensive output. So if he's going to take 380-plus touches, fantasy owners need to pay attention to that.

Ezekiel Elliott 2018 Outlook
Elliott entered Week 1 of 2017 with a six-game suspension looming over his head but filed multiple appeals that allowed him to play in Dallas' first eight games of the season. He would eventually serve the entirety of the suspension. Still, Elliott likely would have won the rushing title again if he had played all 16 games, rushing for 983 yards in 10 games. During his extended absence, Elliott’s importance to the Cowboys’ offense was apparent. As Bleacher Report noted, when Elliott was on the field, Dak Prescott had the play-action passing game rolling, and the offense worked as planned despite unexpected regression by the offensive line. So, while there are no clouds or off-field issues hanging over Elliott heading into this season, the offensive line still needs to rebound a bit, evidenced by the fact that Elliott’s rushing output dropped a full yard per carry in his second season. Assuming the blocking picks back up, Elliott is more than capable of maximizing his size and speed to return to the form we all saw during his rookie season. Even if his lighter usage as a receiver puts him behind other backs, the workload will still be sufficient to satisfy Elliott’s fantasy owners.

Ezekiel Elliott 2017 Outlook
Elliott had the best rookie season of any running back in Cowboys history. Better than Emmitt Smith and Tony Dorsett, two Hall of Famers. He proved to be everything the Cowboys (and fantasy owners) expected when Dallas took him fourth overall. Even with some attrition along the offensive line this offseason, there should be no slowing him down in 2017 as a runner, blocker and receiver. Elliott didn't reach Eric Dickerson's rookie rushing record, but he could challenge the 2000-yard mark as an NFL sophomore. He might not be the receiving threat that David Johnson or Le'Veon Bell are, but his role and supporting cast are more than sufficient to keep him on the same tier as those two in all scoring formats (and the Cowboys believe Elliott can do more as a receiver this season). Given all that, Fantasy owners hoping to cash in on Elliott's potential are going to have to pay a top-three premium to secure his services. One thing worth watching: Even though issues dating back to last summer's domestic abuse violations have been legally resolved, it's still possible that the league could weigh in at some point.
