Ezekiel Elliott to see more work in Cowboys' passing game

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott is expected to be used more in the passing game this season.

What It Means:

"I think it's just an opportunity to elevate my game, an opportunity to show that I can do more," Elliott said. "In the past, I really wasn't asked to run as many complex routes but now I have a couple of more routes to add to my route tree." Elliott averaged 2.6 catches during his second season after pulling in 2.1 receptions per game as a rookie.

numberFire's models expect Elliott to catch 39.1 passes for 318.2 yards and 1.33 receiving touchdowns, in addition to racking up 1,514.4 rushing yards and 11.83 scores on the ground.
