Fantasy Football: 5 Historical Vegas Trends You Should Know for Week 16
What do the odds say about Week 16 for certain players -- like Ezekiel Elliott's performance as a favorite -- and how can your fantasy football team benefit?

Start Ezekiel Elliott as a Favorite

Ezekiel Elliott returns from his six-game suspension this week, and he looks to be undervalued on FanDuel.

The Dallas Cowboys are favored by 5 points over the Seattle Seahawks. The Seahawks have not been an underdog of this many points all season long. Since drafting Zeke in 2016, the Cowboys have leaned on him when favored.


When favored by a field goal or more, you can see that Zeke averages a shade over 21 half-PPR (point per reception) points per game, according to the Rotoviz Game Splits App. If we slide that to reflect games with a line of five or more points, Zeke's score improves.


Elliott is priced at $8,300 on FanDuel, which ranks 5th among running backs. He is a safe cash-game play and has as much upside as any running back on the slate for tournament usage.
