Ezekiel Elliott has been dealing with a knee injury and hasn’t played since Week 7. Coming off the bye week, he remained limited in practice leading up to Dallas’s Week 10 matchup against Green Bay.

Will Ezekiel Elliott play in Week 10? And if he does, should fantasy managers deploy him? Here’s what we know.
