Ezekiel Elliott suspension likely: What to do in fantasy?   Published: Oct 31, 2017 at 11:35 AM                      The NFL's legal battle with may finally be coming to a close. New York District Judge Katherine Failla denied the NFLPA's motion  Luka Samanic Jersey for a stay, which has resulted in the with the Second Circuit Court of Appeals for an injunction. I know, I know, you don't really care about this legalese and want to know what this means for your fantasy squad. Well, the long and short of it is Zeke is an extreme longshot to play this weekend, and an even longer shot to avoid serving the league's six-game suspension this year.    Now-Zeke needs emergency relief from 2d Cir to stay on field. Then- NFL needed (and got) emergency relief from 5th Cir to keep him off field Gabe Feldman (@SportsLawGuy)      There's a small chance Elliott and the NFLPA  Patty Mills Jersey win their appeal, but it's looking very unlikely. So, for the sake of saving time, let's operate under the a sumption that Elliott's suspension begins this Sunday against the (Week 9), which would keep him off the field until Week 15, when the face the . That would put him back into the mix for potentially two weeks of the fantasy postseason (depending on your league's schedule), so Zeke owners will have incentive to stash him on their bench.      As for the backfield sans  Fabricio Oberto Jersey Zeke, , we really know nothing about who the leader will be or if it will be a committee. has received the most work in relief to date (13 carries for 105 yards), while ama sed 1,400 total yards in this offense in 2015. Then there's the wild card of , a young runner out of Ohio State (undrafted in 2015) who gained some buzz during the preseason and has 10 carries for 69 yards on the year. All three should be added in leagues just in case, as the Dallas offense remains one of the league's most potent and its running back(s) will have fantasy value. The have four favorable running back matchups during Zeke's suspension ( , , , Giants) and two worrisome matchups ( , Redskins). We'll need to read the tea leaves, track practice reports, and listen to coaches this week in order to discern who might lead the backfield this week against the . But right now, it's anyone's gue s.     One quick note on , this could increase the offense's reliance on him and raise his fantasy ceiling for the rest of the season. Prescott has played exceptionally well this year already and that's translated into fantasy succe s (currently the QB6). Increased pa sing volume, especially near the goal line, could  DeMar DeRozan Jersey be a huge boon for him down the stretch. If you've been leaning on Prescott as your starter, do not panic at Zeke's impending departure from the starting lineup. Dak will be fine.     Make the nece sary moves on the waiver-wire to add one or more of these  Tim Duncan Jersey players and stay tuned to the news. The final chapter in this suspension saga has yet to be written ... sadly.     *-- Alex Gelhar is a fantasy writer/editor for the NFL, who encourages you to check out the and spend your time, energy, and money on a good cause. *          This article has been reproduced in a new format and may be mi sing content or contain faulty links.
