NFL 2018: Top 12 0.5 PPR NFL Fantasy Running Backs

#3 Ezekiel Elliott - Dallas Cowboys - 2017 total = 190.2

Chicago Bears v Dallas Cowboys

Ezekiel Elliott comes in at number 3 on my list. The 2017 season was one of frustration for Zeke. The Dallas Cowboys had their offensive struggles, and his off-field ongoing battle with the NFL finally culminated in a 6 match ban. That being said, Zeke still tallied up 1252 yards from scrimmage and 9 touchdowns.

He averaged over 20 points a week for his owners last year, to help repay some of the faith that was shown in him with his ban looming. However, those problems are now a thing of the past and Zeke will once again look to prove himself in the upper echelon of NFL running backs. He is the workhorse back in the Dallas offense with very little competition for snaps, despite the recent trade acquisition of Tavon Austin, who is to be converted into an RB.

I can see head coach Jason Garrett going with a very run-heavy approach this year as the team acclimatizes to life after Dez Bryant and Jason Witten.
