WEEK 9: DALLAS COWBOYS – EZEKIEL ELLIOTT, RB

The Kansas City Chiefs only square off against the Dallas Cowboys every four years, but this year they’ll get to see Ezekiel Elliott in his second year in the pros. Elliott had a monstrous rookie season, rushing for 1,631 yards and 15 touchdowns.

Even with Logan present, however, Elliott is going to have a good day against the Chiefs.

While there’s a chance that Elliott could end up missing this game all together due to being suspended for six games and appealing that suspension, I’m sure he’ll be ready in time for Cowboys vs Chiefs.

The Chiefs run defense was awful last season, but they should be much better this year with the addition of Bennie Logan in the middle. Even with Logan present, however, Elliott is going to have a good day against the Chiefs.

It’ll be tough to game plan for Ezekiel Elliott, but if the Chiefs can hold him to under 100 yards, I’d say that’s a successful day. Hopefully Kansas City can get to Dak Prescott throughout the day to give them a chance at winning this game.
