What are the realistic expectations for Zeke (question 6 of 20)

[CowboyRoy]

On 17 less carries dummy, damn near a full game...lol
It'd a shame I have to teach this fool how this work....lol

So lets see if you can do advanced math.

At 6.5 ypc for Pollard and 5.3 for Zeke, how many yards does each back get with 10 carries each?

Take your time.............

Ill give you a hint......with equal carries, Pollard has more.

you don't know it's something you cant predict. With your logic Jamal Agnew is the best back in the league at 15.9 ypc....lol

This is an amusing thread

I dont have to predict it, its already been happening for 3 years.

Games like this:

Chargers game: Pollard 13 carries, Zeke 16 carries

Pollard 109 yards 1 TD at 8.4 ypc

Zeke 71 yards 1 TD at 4.4 ypc

Poor guy. Let me know if you want more.

"Duh zeke gets more carries because he is better"

Zeke 71 yards 1 TD at 4.4 ypc

And you ommit Zeke 20-143 at 7.2 ypc



Poor guy. Let me know if you want more.

You listed 2 games...lol

Again by your logic Jamal Agnew was the best best in the league this year....lol

HARDY is the best back on the team at 7.3...lol

TP is just as good as Jonathan Taylor and Nick Chubb this year all at 5.5

I think Zeke is going to show out.......this a basically a contract year for him. He's playing this season not only for the Cowboys but 31 other teams.

I believe the same thing. He won't look anything like a 27-year-old RB this year.

I would say a close return to his 2019 numbers but not quite, only due to him getting less carries. Assuming both remain healthy, I see a few more carries for Pollard, an average of 3-4 a game.

This would put Elliott at about 250 carries a game for an average of close to 15 carries a game. In fact, let's say he misses a game, keep it a little more realistic. That would be an average of between 15-16 carries for 16 games.

Now I'll say his average yards per carry will be better than the two previous seasons, that he won't be hobbled by the nagging injuries of last season. I'm also going to say that the rookie, Tyler Smith, is an upgrade on the O-line. However, it won't be quite as good as it was in 2019. I'll give him 4.4 yards a carry.

Okay, so 250 carries for an average of 4.4 yards is 1100 yards.

I'm also going to give him close to the receiving numbers he had in 2019. I'm giving him 400 yards and bumping him up a yard per reception over the previous two seasons, up to 7.5. That's still close not quite as good as 2019 so I'm staying true to my premise.

So that would be about 53 receptions for the season with an average of a little over 3 receptions for the 16 games I'm supposing he will play in.

So to summarize:

I'm proposing a close return to his 2019 numbers but not quite. I am giving him 1100 yards rushing and 400 yards receiving for a total of 1500 yards from scrimmage.

hum this was a surprise to me since I hear how he's a bum.

Since 2016, Ezekiel Elliott has the most rushing yards, with 7,386 yards.
