Few would reasonably believe that Ezekiel Elliott, who notably reunited with the Dallas Cowboys this spring, is the same player -- physically and ultimately statistically -- that used to be a fantasy football superstar. Drafted in 2016, Elliott finished as a top-five fantasy running back in three of his first four NFL seasons, carrying myriad fantasy managers to championships. Even in his final two seasons in Dallas, when backup Tony Pollard pushed him for touches, primarily receptions, Elliott scored 12 touchdowns each season. He was the No. 6 running back for fantasy in 2021, a top-20 player overall.
