Dallas' Ezekiel Elliott facing suspension, again, after legal setback

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott has had his six-game suspension reinstated after Federal Appeals Court rules in favor of the NFL, per the Associated Press.

What It Means:

The ruling removes a temporary injunction granted to Elliott, that allowed him to play while the suspension was fought in court. As of now, Elliott's suspension is scheduled to start in Week 7, after the Cowboys' bye week. However, the star running back is bound to appeal or file a motion for a new injunction, allowing him to play while the suspension is argued in court. So this is by far not the end. Alfred Morris and Darren McFadden stand to fill in for Elliott if the suspension is upheld.

Our models project Elliott for 1,067.2 rushing yards, 262.1 receiving yards, and 12.2 total touchdowns the rest of the season; if he is allowed to play the remaining 11 games, of course.
