Cowboys RB Ezekiel Elliott eligible to play Week 7

Oct 17, 2017

Ezekiel Elliott is back off suspension.

A U.S. District judge in the Southern District of New York has granted Elliott his temporary restraining order against his six game suspension. Elliott is eligible to play against the 49ers this weekend.

Related players: Darren McFadden, Alfred Morris

Fantasy Impact:

Ian Rapoport's tweet within the story said the suspension "is stayed for 14 days or until further proceedings" so it looks like Elliott can play Week 8 as well. Of course, Elliott's long-term status is still very much up in the air. Basically, this ruling kicks the can down the road two weeks. Owners who picked up Alfred Morris or Darren McFadden should sit tight, if possible.

Chicago signs TE Jake Butt

The Bears have signed former Broncos TE Jake Butt.

Fantasy Impact:

That makes 6,926 TEs on the Chicago roster. Joking of course, but Jake Butt joins Jimmy Graham, Cole Kmet and a slew of others in the Bears TE room. He's not on the fantasy radar.

Rookie D'Wayne Eskridge misses practice due to toe injury

Top rookie WR D'Wayne Eskridge continues to miss practices with a toe issue. Coach Pete Carroll calls that unfortunate for the important time he is missing in the new #Seahawks offense

Fantasy Impact:

It's not great that D'Wayne Eskridge is missing time while a new offense is being installed in Seattle. He has an opportunity to be the WR3 for the Seahawks, but if he can't go Freddy Swain would be the next man up.

Jamison Crowder renegotiates with the Jets through 2021

The #Jets and WR Jamison Crowder have finalized a renegotiated contract with plans to keep him on the team for the 2021 season, source said. Crowder will be a free agent next offseason at age 28 to get another payday before age 30.

Fantasy Impact:

The WR room is crowded in New York, with Corey Davis, Keenan Cole and rookie Elijah Moore, along with Crowder. With all those wideouts hungry for targets from a rookie QB, it's tough to know who will emerge as fantasy relevant. Maybe training camp will provide some clarity.
