The stat that says Cowboys RB Ezekiel Elliott is poised for a big year

Ezekiel Elliott has seen a steady decline in his production over the past two seasons, but he could be primed for a bounce-back in 2021.

Entering the league in 2016, Elliott electrified the Cowboys offense averaging 5.07 yards per carry. There was no question that Elliott was the engine that made the Dallas offense go, and his production resulted in not only the Offensive Rookie of the Year distinction but a 13-3 record for the Cowboys that locked up the top seed in the NFC.

In year two, however, a lengthy battle with Roger Goodell and the league office ultimately resulted in a six-game suspension for Elliott.
