EE vs DJ

[SanDiegoGuy]

If you were to have your own NFL franchise, which player, Ezekiel Elliot or David Johnson, would you want for your team?

[Steelersfan]

Elliot and it's not even close.

[FantasyFreak]

Elliot and it's not even close.

Why? I chose Elliott, but DJ is the better all purpose back. I chose Elliott because he's the better interior runner, and 3 years younger, but if there are many offences that would be better of with DJ as their back.

[WideoutWizard]

David Johnson and it's not as close as people think. David Johnson's receiving ability puts him over the top, and his college and NFL resumes have been a bit better so far.

[Jfever]

I see this as being as close as it gets. Splitting hairs almost. Curious as to how someone from either opinion could think it isn't close? Myself, I side with DJ based off of ppr ability. Age difference means nothing to me when they are each this young.

[Crwdstunna]

To me, it's DJ because of his PPR abilities. They are both studs and you'll be happy with either, but I'm all aboard the DJ will be a top 3 dynasty RB for the next 5 years at least. Just a complete stud. I'm also not sure if Zeke will be able to produce at this level once a few of his OL leave.

[Unicorn92]

For me it is dj and it is not close he is a better pass catcher and is a mismatch as wr and does marvellous with a terrible oline. Eze is great but with his oline this is too easy not sure he will be able to keep this level when cowboys will lose offensive linemens via free agency and that will happen

[Valhalla]

It's close, but I'd go with DJ. He is just so good in the passing game. The age doesn't bother me, because if you are an NFL GM and you are planning for your RB to last more than a few years without insuring securities, your forecasts are off.

[Phaded]

It is interesting to me how little the Cowboys use Zeke in the passing game.

I love Zeke - but I also love DJ. I would take DJ personally; if anything because their offense is much less conservative.

I would take Bell over either of them, though.

[hockeyBjj]

I'd go with Johnson. He's still young and hasn't had injury problems so the boost to Zeke being only a rookie is lessened. Zeke has been amazing but I really wonder if he'll drop off a touch his sophomore year and especially if Dallas doesn't have the same quality of their offensive line. DJ feels the much safer and same return bet if I was picking one (I'd be damn pleased with either of course)

[James McGhee]

Imagine DJ behind that Cowboys offensive line.

[trader_nation]

It's kind of like Randy Moss vs Chris Carter.

One's an awesome football player but the other is from another planet.

No offense to Zeke but he aint the Randy Moss out of the two, not even close.

[lukkynumber13]

Dion Lewis and it's not even close

[Steelersfan]

Elliot

[Dizzle]

I'm going DJ on this one
