Ezekiel Elliott, RB, Dallas Cowboys

FanDuel Price: $8,800
Projected Points: 23.1

No player in the NFL has a higher market share of their team's carries than Ezekiel Elliott (44.5%) this season. And over the past three games, that number has actually increased to 46.2%, which is more than 5.0% higher than any other player during that span. Our models like that heavy workload to continue in Week 16, projecting Elliott to carry the ball nearly 3.0 more times than any other back.

Like McCaffrey, Elliott has turned his high usage rate into more than 100 total yards for seven straight games, further showing his solid floor.

One thing that has been missing lately is touchdowns, as Elliott has failed to find the endzone in two consecutive games. But after getting shutout in Week 15, the Dallas Cowboys are expected to rebound in a big way on Sunday, as their 27.50 point implied total is the fifth-highest of any team on the main slate. So, as the Cowboys continue to feed Zeke, let him fuel your lineup with points in Week 16.
