"Good chance" Cowboys' Ezekiel Elliott (hamstring) plays in Week 9
Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott (hamstring) reportedly "has a good chance to play" in Week 9 against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
What It Means:
Elliott was encouragingly able to participate in Saturday's workout, but the Cowboys will still test his hamstring out ahead of this afternoon's game against the Steelers before making a final decision about his availability.
If Zeke can't play Sunday, expect Tony Pollard to pick up most of the running back work. Pollard's salary is just $4,900 on FanDuel this week, but our models project him to score 13.3 fantasy points if Zeke misses the game.
