Ezekiel Elliott is struggling to maintain his role as a key player for the Cowboys. He has become inefficient and is losing snaps to Rico Dowdle, who is emerging as a more reliable option in the backfield. Elliott’s playing time has drastically decreased, participating in only 19% of snaps during a recent game, and he is expected to be excluded from third down and hurry-up situations. With these challenges, he is considered a player to sit in fantasy football lineups this week.
