Is Ezekiel Elliott playing Week 10?
UPDATE: Cowboys don’t expect to finalize a decision on Elliott’s status until evaluating him pregame, according to ESPN’s Ed Werder.
Elliott (knee) was officially listed as “questionable” ahead of the Cowboys’ Week 10 matchup against the Packers. Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said Friday that he expects Elliott to play, according to beat writer Jon Machota.
The veteran running back has been limited at practice throughout the entire week after not playing in Week 8 against the Bears. The Cowboys had a bye last week, which gave Elliott more time to rest his sprained MCL. If Elliott suits up, it will be interesting to see how many carries he gets compared to Tony Pollard. Both Pollard and Elliott should be viewed as RB2/flexes against a Packers’ defense that is allowing the 13th-most fantasy points per game to RBs this season.

Is Kyren Williams playing Week 10?
Rams head coach Sean McVay said Friday that Williams (ankle) will be added to the active roster and play on Sunday against the Cardinals, according to ESPN’s Sarah Barshop.

The rookie running back was designated to return from injured reserve late last month after initially injuring his ankle in Week 1. Los Angeles’ running game has been disappointing this season, with Cam Akers, Darrell Henderson Jr., and Ronnie Rivers all getting touches. The uncertainty surrounding Williams’ role makes him tough to start in all leagues this week, but there’s a real chance he leads the Rams’ backfield. He should be stashed on rosters right now just in case he sees the most snaps and touches. Even if he doesn’t, he has upside for the fantasy playoffs.
