Came here to say this.

How many things does he have to be involved in before we admit he has issues? If it were one alleged incident it could be a lying plaintiff, but he is constantly finding himself in or around trouble. He was my dynasty RB1 despite this as little as a few days ago, but if this bar fight comes turns out to be anything we need to start letting it affect our rankings. He's a ticking time bomb and will eventually do something worse.

Supposedly there were no arrests, and this was just an "incident". However, a source with the NFL said that they will take into account the "accumulative nature of Zeke’e behavior".

Rotoworld and TMZ blurb...

TMZ Sports reports a witness saw Ezekiel Elliott punch a man at a Dallas-area bar Sunday night.
A video shows the victim laying on the ground after the incident, but there is no video of the actual altercation. The victim suffered a broken nose. Despite a witness identifying Elliott as the assailant, police did not make any arrests because of a lack of information and the fact the witness appeared to be intoxicated. Police also did not speak with Elliott because he was gone by the time they arrived. No charges have been filed at this time.

Ya even though I'm concerned I'd pump the breaks on selling him. Even if he gets a decent suspension (probably 4 games) he will return to elite value once he returns. When that happens if you're worried he'll get into more trouble you'll be able to sell high instead of at a discount now

I'm a big Zeke fan from his OSU days however someone close to him needs to sit him down and be real honest with the kid. He can not continue down this path unless self-destruction is what he wants for himself. I think a suspension is not only warranted but much needed. He is on my fantasy team and I love what he can do on the football field, however, I'm a bit worried he is headed down a bad path. We can make a ton of excuses for the kid though trouble seems to be finding him frequently this past year.

Wow, can't believe Zeke got in a bar fight. I've never seen a 21 year old do that before. Crazy. What a terrible person.

Investigated for domestic violence, exposing a woman's breast in public, and now a potential bar fight. So, yes all of these combined are bad signs. He is a kid just having fun excuse is exactly the same arguments on boards when Manziel was spiraling down the rabbit hole. I'm just saying maybe a step back and taking a look could be a good thing. I think he is a good kid though bad things happen to good kids that seem to be putting themselves in bad situations. It's really easy to do.

I know you are being sarcastic, but it is not normal for 21 year olds to be getting into bar fights. I am sure lots of us have, and in my younger days I frequented bars quite a bit and got into my share of fights, but that does not mean it is a normal thing for people to do. Life would be much harder with the media always following you around, but when you get paid millions of dollars you can expect more scrutiny and be held to a higher standard than the general public. If you don't want to be held accountable, just get a lower profile job and no one would bat an eye.

Also, not implying zeke is a bad person what so ever, but when you are in the limelight you have to act accordingly.

Can confirm as a 24 year old, don't know anyone around my age who has ever been in a bar fight, only people I know who have were at least 30 when it happened

You guys need to get out more. Of course, you're also not loaded and famous like Zeke so it would be a different experience for you.
