Fantasy Football Player Notes

Elliott has been exactly as advertised all season long. 25-plus touches per game and touchdowns galore should continue throughout the season. With injuries to Christian McCaffrey and Saquon Barkley, Elliott should be considered the top running back in the game until further notice.

Schultz is in line for a fairly hefty workload with Blake Jarwin lost for the season. He saw 10 targets in his first full game as the top tight end target in Dallas, and although he's unlikely to see that number in any game going forward, he should still be an option that fantasy managers can play in the right matchup.

Dalton will get his opportunity to start with Dak Prescott surely being lost for the year after fracturing his ankle. Dalton hasn't been particularly fantasy-relevant throughout his career, but with plenty of weapons and an excellent offensive system, he should at worst be a bye-week filler going forward and at best be a potential every-week starter.

Zuerlein hasn't been close to the fantasy stalwart he once was over the last two seasons, as accuracy issues have plagued him as they did earlier in his career. Now with the Cowboys, Zuerlein should have every opportunity to bounce back on a team that provides its kickers with plenty of field goal opportunities. Once the top few kicking options are gone, Zuerlein should be next off the board (in the last round, obviously).
