Fantasy Football: Ranking the Top Running Backs for Week 9
1. Ezekiel Elliott @ CLE FD: $9,200 DK: $7,900

It doesn't get much better than this in terms of matchup opportunity. The Dallas Cowboys have one of, if not the best, offensive lines in the NFL. Against top-flight defensive lines, they create truck-sized holes for Elliott to run through and let him use his agility and elusiveness at the second level to rip off big runs. Now that take dominating offensive line and put it up against the Cleveland Browns front seven that allows 4.8 yards per carry this season. This is very much the type of game where we could see Elliott turn in 200 total yards and two touchdowns. Grand Canyon-sized holes are going to be created by the Cowboys' offensive line. Elliott will rip off long run after long run and contribute in the passing game as well, where he could see 30-ish receiving yards. Elliott is locked in as the RB1 of fantasy this week.
