Injury analysis powered by Draft Sharks Injury Guide, formerly
Date | League | Injury | Details |
---|---|---|---|
Aug 8, 2014 | Non-NFL | Hand Wrist Fracture | Elliott suffered the injury in pre-season practice. He underwent surgery on August 9, 2014, and had another procedure to stabilize the wrist in early 2015. |
Aug 2, 2016 | NFL | Thigh Hamstring Sprain/Pull Unspecified Grade 1 | Elliott dealt with a sore hamstring in camp. He missed time in the preseason, but it didn't affect him when the games counted. |
Dec 8, 2020 | NFL | Leg Calf Strain | Elliott sustained a calf injury during the Week 13 game vs. the Baltimore Ravens. He was ruled out of the matchup with the 49ers due to that injury |
Oct 6, 2021 | NFL | Knee Strain Grade 1 | Elliott was bothered by his knee ahead of Week 5. He shook off the knee issue and was active. |
Oct 10, 2021 | NFL | Chest Rib Sprain/Pull Unspecified | Elliott hurt his ribs in Week 5’s game against the New York Giants. He was good for the next game |
Nov 7, 2021 | NFL | Knee Strain Grade 1 | Elliott suffered a right knee contusion during Week 9's game against the Broncos. He didn't miss any game |
Nov 21, 2021 | NFL | Knee PCL Tear Grade 3 | Elliott briefly left the Week 11 game with a knee injury. He played through a partially torn PCL during the 2021 season |
Oct 23, 2022 | NFL | Knee MCL Sprain Grade 2 | Zeke played through the injury in Week 7, then missed the next 2 games. |
Elliott sat on the free agent market until mid- August. He took a relatively light $600K signing bonus ($1.55M base salary) to be a complementary piece behind Rhamondre Stevenson.
Stevenson, of course, is fresh off a breakout 2022.
With little to offer as a pass-catcher and New England’s offense projecting no better than league average, Zeke looks like an RB5 stash.
-Elliott continued to battle knee trouble. He missed two games with an October MCL sprain.
-He posted a career-low 3.8 yards per carry. But he remained relevant in fantasy on the strength of 12 rushing TDs — tied for second most of his career.
-Elliott ranked T-3rd league-wide in goal line carries (26).
-Among 22 RBs with 200+ carries, Elliott ranked T-18th in yards after contact per attempt, 19th in Pro Football Focus rushing grade, and 20th in PFF’s Elusive Rating.
-Zeke garnered only 23 targets, a 4% team share. He caught a career-low 17 balls.
-We expect Elliott to see the bulk of his work on early downs, in short yardage, and in the red zone.
-We know HC Bill Belichick is a stickler for ball security. Zeke didn’t fumble once in 2022; Stevenson fumbled twice.
-Damien Harris, now in Buffalo, averaged 9.6 carries in games with Stevenson last year. It’s a reasonable expectation for Zeke.
-Elliott just doesn’t bring much receiving upside, as Stevenson beats him in that category.
For us, it's 1/17th of the equation. Hear us out.
