Most rookies I would say no, but Dallas' O-Line is so dominant might be hard to argue against an early-mid 2nd for sure.

Absolutely. They're gonna ride that horse same way they did with Murray.

I would say yes. What should be a good RB behind what is a good line. I like the odds that he will dominate fantasy.

Yes without a doubt I see him with lots of yards and a bunch of TDs. He'll end up extending Romo's career.

In 2017? Sure. Definitely not this year. Too risky, imo.

The COWBOYS, in the last three seasons, have never really had problems on offense.
except ONE......Keeping Tony Romo healthy.....And I think EE will be great for the offense.
But the COWBOYS, have got a mess on defense. And Rod Marinelli can only do so much.

If he doesn't win ROY I would be extremely shocked.

No way this season

Youd be passing on too many more reliable guys

Would you take him over a Davonte Freeman or Thomas Rawls?

And you have to think Mcfadden will still be in the mix after a solid season

They have proven themselves reliable after one successful season? Didn't Freeman kind of disappear in the second half last year? Rawls was hot for a little stretch in the second half, but we have seen that before - think Bryce Brown in Philly a couple years ago

I dont think Freeman dissapeared, especially in a PPR league, he will still catching 6, 7 balls a game

With Lynch gone, Im just thinking Rawls is a really high volume guy in a run first offense

Listen, I love Zeke and was praying he would drop to the Giants, I just think in fantasy, if you whiff on your #1 pick, your whole season could be shot, and he's gonna be a bit more risky than a bunch of other guys

And again, Mcfadden deserves to still be in the mix for work in that offense, so you have to worry about how much

Freeman from week 8 on had 345 yards rushing and 258 yards receiving and 5 total TDs. That's not exactly spectacular.

Seeing what the Dallas line was able to do for Mcfadden last year, with no passing threat, gives me great confidence in Zeke's potential behind this line - and if Romo is healthy for all 16, forget about it.

I think Mcfadden will be granted his release.

I'm taking Zeke over Rawls every day of the week. Seattle has made no secret about the fact that they want to add another RB to the mix. Rawls is no guarantee to start.

Elliott, I'm considering taking him with the #1 pick that I have (granted, it's a keeper, so it's more like the #1 pick in the second round) and teaming him up with Todd Gurley. Elliott is a significantly superior player to McFadden, who should be used for no more than 6-8 carries a game just to spell Zeke.

If Mcfadden is released, I dont know why they would do that, than it would obviously change things big time......

You could definitely be right.....I do dis-agree on Rawls, he is absolutely the starter, they arent starting a guy that isnt even on the roster yet........(if healthy of course)

You're probably eventually going to be right about Rawls, but with Michael there, and them wanting to bring in someone else, how much upside is there really? Elliott is going to be running behind a much better OL than what Seattle has, and Elliott is also a threat to catch passes while Rawls is not.

Yes, there is some homerness to my Zeke love, but man you have to be excited about his upside in Dallas. Their offense is going to be explosive, and he's going to be a big part of it. If they made Demarco Murray look like a stud two years ago, Zeke may lead the league in rushing this year.
