Running Back Growth Potential Starts with Size

He may never have been the consensus top choice in a fantasy draft, but Ezekiel Elliott is the perfect fantasy football player. His selection at fourth overall in the actual 2016 draft was a clear signal that he would start for the Cowboys immediately as a rookie. And since then, he has dominated the team's running back touches. He has never fallen short of 13 touches in a game and only five times fallen short of 18 touches. Since he has been healthy, Elliott has reached the rare benchmark of 300 PPR points in a season three times, tied for the most at his position in the last decade with Arian Foster and Le'Veon Bell.
