Fantasy Football Player Notes

Last week Elliott played 69% of the snaps finishing with 21 touches and 92 total yards. He will be New England's unquestioned bell cow this week. After Rhamondre Stevenson left due to injury, Elliott only came off the field for three snaps. Elliott's only appeal is volume because his tires are bald. Among 58 qualifying backs, Elliott ranks 54th in missed tackles forced per attempt and 50th in yards after contact per attempt. Pittsburgh has massively improved as a run defense as the season has moved along. Since Week 8, they have had the eighth-best stuff rate while also allowing the 12th-lowest rushing touchdown rate and the 10th-lowest yards after contact per attempt.
