Expert
Mike Tagliere FantasyPros	Will the Cowboys start to divvy up the workload between Elliott and Pollard now that Mike McCarthy is in town? We watched him use Aaron Jones/Jamaal Williams, Eddie Lacy/James Starks, and Ryan Grant/James Starks in timeshares over the last decade, so why not Elliott/Pollard? I just it to be known that it's possible this is more of a timeshare than it's been in years past. This duo crushed the Rams defense in Week 15 last year when they combined for over 300 total yards and three touchdowns (Elliott 160/2, Pollard 143/1). It's odd they demolished them the way they did, as the Rams allowed just 0.79 PPR points per opportunity to running backs in 2019, which ranked as the 11th-lowest number in the league. I went back and looked, and there were no major injuries that caused anyone to miss that game on the Rams defense, either. Given all the talent the Cowboys have at wide receiver, it's difficult to say the Rams can put any emphasis on shutting down the run, and it's clear their run game under Kellen Moore worked against the Rams talent. However, there are some unknowns in this game, as the Rams are under a new defensive coordinator (Brandon Staley), and one we know nothing about. We'll get information as we see the games played on both the Rams defense and the Cowboys potential timeshare, but for now, Elliott is the only one you can play with confidence as an RB1 while Pollard is more of an emergency RB4/5 option.
Jacob Wayne Lineups	Ezekiel Elliott's best fantasy performance of last season came against the Rams as he and Tony Pollard ran all over their defense to the tune of 263 team rushing yards. The Rams didn't do much to improve what was often an overmatched defensive line last year, despite the presence of perennial All-Pro Aaron Donald. Zeke is going to benefit from playing in what should be one of the highest-scoring offenses in the NFL and he is truly a game-script proof RB.
Kyle Yates FantasyPros	Zeke is a top-tier option this week for fantasy football in a matchup that could quickly get out of control. Points could be going up in excess this week and there are going to be plenty of scoring opportunities for Zeke in this game. He's essentially always a lock for 15+ carries and no one is used more in the red zone than Elliott. Start him with confidence this week.
Derek Lofland FantasyPros	The Rams were 15th against fantasy running backs, but Elliott is a matchup proof RB1 on one of the best offenses in the NFL.
