Dallas Cowboys
Zeke Elliott likely to be eased in this weekend
Rookie RB expected to play about "a dozen plays or so"

Cowboys expect rookie RB Ezekiel Elliott to be in for about a dozen plays or so tonight in his debut. Easing him into action. (Brandon George on Twitter)

FFToday's Take: The MMQB reported Thursday Dallas had concerns about Elliott's weight before camp - he was roughly six pounds over his 225-pound weigh-in at the combine - although that doesn't appear to be an issue now. Regarding his limited snap count, pro-Elliott owners probably don't have to worry about him leaping into the first round of fantasy drafts as a result of this weekend's action. However, owners should be aware it might take a couple of weeks of regular-season action for Dallas to ramp up his workload to 20 touches.
