8 Fantasy Football Winners From the 2016 NFL Draft
With the NFL Draft over, which players saw their situations get better for fantasy football purposes?

Ezekiel Elliott, RB, Dallas Cowboys

There's a big difference between fantasy and real football.

Last week, I let it be known that Tony Romo, the match for Zeke is out-of-control good.

We obviously remember DeMarco Murray's huge 2014 season, but what often goes unnoticed -- and I mentioned this in the Elliott article linked above -- is that Dallas' running game was nearly just as efficient last season as it was in 2015. On a per-rush basis, the Cowboys' 0.02 schedule-adjusted Rushing Joseph Randle and Darren McFadden.

McFadden -- Alfred Morris this offseason, Elliott should be in store for a large share of the team's backfield work. With Romo returning from injury, Zeke has a very legitimate shot at being a top-three running back in fantasy football this season. And that's not even a hot take.
