 Let's dive into our trends discussion for week number 11 starting off with an offense. I think we both like quite a bit that's the Dallas Cowboys and They're an interesting offense because they've been in flux for a lot of the year We had Randall Cobb miss a game Michael Gallup missed a couple as well And it's led to some funky target distributions specifically for their running backs You're gonna talk about this Dallas offense and how we should handle them here on the road against Detroit Yeah, I mean overall Dallas is a pretty fun DFS offense They're in a matchup that could feature points Especially if Stafford were to play if not, I mean still kind of in on that game regardless Dak Prescott has been really good He's $8,100 so he's a little bit pricey, but I you know spoiler alert. I like him a lot He has been really good against non-elite defenses. That's what Detroit is He's had 282 yards two points you touchdowns against past defenses outside the top 12 based on number fires metrics That's good for point four zero passing that expect the points per drop back Which is four times the NFL's full season average of the NFL average against non top 12 opponents is point one seven So he's you know more than double that so he's really been taking advantage of good matchups But since Michael Gallup's return a week five the target shares are 23% from our Cooper 22% for Gallup 16% per for Jason Witton 14 for Randall Cobb and 11 for Ezekiel Elliott Cooper barely played on week six though And if you remove that game his share jumps up to 26% with 36% of the ariard as well. So his role is really good Even with Michael Gallup back, but over that full sample even if you don't remove week six Amari Cooper's 16 deep targets put in a sixth among all receivers in that split Gallup's at just six Cobb actually has nine, but you know everything looks good for Amari Cooper Michael Gallup and even Randall Cobb as a team Detroit is sixth in target success rate a lot of receivers on the full season But since week five they're 27th. They're 29th against tight ends So it's a good spot for those three receivers and Jason Witton You know Cooper's a stud Gallup's averaging 100 ariards per game and this you know since returning Witton's 12th in ariards per game amongst among tight ends in here and in this sample With almost six targets per game. So everything's looking good, but Then you get to Ezekiel Elliott and things are a little bit weird You know that limited receiving has really done a number for his ceiling and floor Yes, three targets over the past two games He's so averaged five per game since Gallup's return But you know the past two it hasn't really been there It might not matter a ton because the choice only 25th in brushing success rate allowed to running backs But I'm a little bit nervous about Ezekiel Elliott. I know you are too But Dallas is one of the first offenses that I'm looking to when building lineups this week So how are you viewing the Cowboys for week 11? I think that the reasons that were skeptical of Zeke are exactly what you said with the decrease in targets where he had none Against the Giants he had three against the Vikings and those are really tough numbers to swallow in your $8400 and like last year we used to Zeke like every week the second half of the year because he was getting like I Think like 18 to 20% of the team's targets each week, which was an awesome number So I think that when I'm looking at this from a cash game perspective He's between a lot of guys I'd rather have like I think that you look at Dalvin Cook at 86 You look at Josh Jacobs at 8,000 jumping down to Leonard Fournette at 72 Devin Coleman Devin Singletary there are a lot of backs. I feel safer about so for cash games I don't think Zeke really fits what I'm looking for for tournaments He does because I think that there is still a path to passing game involvement here And there's also a path like for a running back who is not involved in the passing game to pay off for fantasy at This price tag you need a buck 25 and two touchdowns. He can get that in this matchup So for tournament Zeke is still a very good play I'd rank him beneath cook still, but I think he's a very good play So not a cash game guy for me, but he's still a good guy for tournaments Just not you know at the top of my list. Is that how you would describe it for yourself as well Yeah, so if I'm voting a cash game lineup or say, you know, one to maybe five tournament lineups I don't really know if I'd have Elliot in there even though I If I did five I would at five short I just meant like a very concentrated, you know a number of tournament lineups I don't know if Elliot would be there. I love the upside if the receiving's there and again I mean look, we know that Fandal is a half PPR site, but You get on average a running back gets twice the fantasy points on a target Then he does on a carry. So targets matter. It's just like free yardage touchdown equity So sure, you know, we he can like you said pay off his tag without the receiving but you kind of want the receiving Right, I know that you know guys who don't get receiving are more palatable on a half PPR site than a full PPR site But that does not mean they are desirable and I think that's a big distinction to make and It's something we talk about a lot like we do the you know, I at least do the adjust opportunities Which is carries plus 2x targets. That's why and if you look at that Zeke's not top 10 over the past three weeks. I don't think so Actually, I could pull it up here over the past three weeks. He is 13th. He's behind David Montgomery It's behind Josh Jacobs. He doesn't get a lot of work in the passing game either. So Yeah, I think I think he's a good tournament play not a great turn in play. He's not a cash team play
