Four touches in loss Elliott rushed once for eight yards and caught all three of his targets for 16 yards in Monday's 34-10 loss to the Texans.
Impact Elliott played 31 percent of the Cowboys' 83 offensive snaps Monday, and increase from the 21 percent snap share he handled in Week 10. Despite the bump in playing time, the veteran running back was unable to produce much in the way of fantasy relevant statistics. With teammate Rico Dowdle operating as the clear-cut No. 1 running back in Dallas, Elliott's fantasy utility has all but disappeared. The 29-year-old will be extremely difficult to trust for fantasy purposes in a Week 12 matchup against the Commanders.

Coughs up fumble in blowout loss Elliott (suspension) rushed six times for 22 yards while losing a fumble in Sunday's 34-6 loss to Philadelphia.
Impact Elliott returned from a team-mandated one-game suspension to resume his backup role for the Cowboys. The veteran tailback didn't make a case to earn more carries upon his return, losing one of four Dallas fumbles Sunday. With Rico Dowdle handling the lead back role, it is safe to leave Elliott on waivers ahead of next Monday's tilt against Houston.
