Only two teams on bye this week. Lamar Miller and Ameer Abdullah sitting this week, but everyone else back. I did not rank Ezekiel Elliott this week. It seemed like perhaps the most obvious thing ever to see Elliott's injunction overturned. The CBA very clearly states that the laws of New York will government the CBA. As such, this fight is heading to New York now. Sure, the Southern District of New York might issue a similar injunction before the weekend. If so, Elliott would fall in between Le'Veon Bell and Devonta Freeman.
Several of these names hurt you last week. Kareem Hunt and Todd Gurley did not put up the numbers we have come to expect. Do not let that bother you. The names at the top of the list will stay there. The match ups do not change the top couple names. Orleans Darkwa and Adrian Peterson showed something that moved them up the list this week.
