Ezekiel Elliott among six NFL stars who deserve more help
Though you likely won't hear similar complaints from these other players, here are some stars who deserve more help from their teams:This arrangement is not foreign to Elliott, who has been <h2>Mike Tolbert Authentic Jersey</h2>
the Cowboys' centerpiece since he was drafted in 2016. But with Dak Prescott floundering and the team shrugging its shoulders at an acknowledged lack of a No. 1 receiver, Elliott looks increasingly isolated as an offensive savior. If not for his 88 receiving yards and touchdown catch against the Lions in Week 4, Dallas almost assuredly would be 1-4.There's only so much that the Cowboys can do for Prescott — and, by extension, Elliott. Gunslinger-turned-broadcaster Tony Romo has highlighted the importance of putting receivers in motion to scheme them open more regularly, and more downfield shots could help if the line can provide sufficient protection. But if Dallas wants to be a factor in what looks to be a wide-open NFC East, it must also monitor Elliott's workload, as he had just 54 rushing yards on 20 carries against the Texans on Sunday and could tire down the stretch.Welcome back: Here's one of the worst supporting casts in the NFL. Luck has elevated his team in years past, but this might be his heaviest lift yet, as a rash of injuries have left an already suspect depth chart in dire straits. On pace for a record-breaking 784 passing attempts, Luck has performed admirably. He recorded a career-high 464 passing yards along with four touchdowns in a Week 4 loss to the Texans, and he at least briefly brought the Colts within striking distance of the Patriots last week.There's a path to improvement for Indianapolis, as the injury report is dotted with starters who could return in the coming weeks. Still, Frank Reich is at somewhat of an impasse. If Luck is to distribute the ball quickly so as to avoid hits as he did in the first three weeks, he <h2>Cam Newton Authentic Jersey</h2>
needs more assistance from his skill-position players. As has long been the case in Indianapolis, providing proper support like it might require a few draft classes and swings in free agency, where the Colts currently are poised to have an NFL-high $127 million in cap space next offseason.<strong style="margin-right:3px;">More: NFL power rankings: Chargers replace Jaguars in top five<strong style="margin-right:3px;">More: NFL QB Hot Sheet: Philip Rivers making noise for ChargersIt's difficult for any staff to integrate a star back when the passing attack ranks second-to-last and has undergone a switch to a rookie passer. But new Cardinals coach Steve Wilks and offensive coordinator Mike McCoy's initial plan for Johnson was downright bizarre even as he returned from playing just one game last year due to a wrist injury. The former all-pro had just 34 carries in the first three weeks before logging 40 in the last two.Yet the biggest mistake for the Cardinals might be in the passing game, as Johnson has just 15 catches for 120 yards so far. Former <h2>Torrey Smith Authentic Jersey</h2>
Arizona coach Bruce Arians, under whom Johnson led the NFL with 2,118 all-purpose yards in 2016, believes the new regime was misusing its offensive centerpiece by too often restricting Johnson to the backfield. That's a disservice to first-round quarterback Josh Rosen, who's already trying to compensate for the offense's overall talent deficiency.Generating a disproportionate amount of the offensive production has become commonplace for Wilson, who accounted for more than 80% of Seattle's yardage last year. The equation has shifted this year, however, as the Seahawks have passed a league-low 42.9 percent of the time over the past three weeks. But this team can only ride its currently hot run game so far.One area for growth is the play-action game, which new coordinator Brian Schottenheimer has seldom used despite Wilson's history of success with it. Play-action was a bigger game plan component Sunday against the Rams, and Wilson responded by throwing three touchdowns despite just 21 pass attempts. It's unclear whether a hamstring injury has hampered him recently, but Schottenheimer needs to give Wilson continued opportunities to attack downfield.Having already matched their loss total (3) from last season, the Eagles have become increasingly blunt in holding one another accountable. Left tackle Jason Peters sought to spread blame for the protection struggles, suggesting that Wentz is holding onto the ball longer as he tries to recapture his rhythm after last season's knee injury. Never one to rattle cages, Wentz said that characterization was "fair."But that assessment might not be entirely on point. Wentz has already taken 17 sacks despite getting rid of the ball in 2.76 seconds on average this year, according to The Athletic, which is almost the same as last year's mark of 2.72. The receiving corps has also been a disappointment, tying for the league lead in drops with 11.The most significant dilemma for the offense right now might be how to equip Wentz with a proper rushing attack after Jay Ajayi was placed on injured reserve. Perhaps Howie Roseman will make another aggressive move and pursue Le'Veon Bell or LeSean McCoy, but giving Corey Clement a larger role seems the more likely option. And while <h2>Julius Peppers Authentic Jersey</h2>
getting Alshon Jeffery fully integrated after he missed the first three games should elevate the team on third downs (24th in conversion rate) and in the red zone, Peters and the rest of the line will have to step up to give Wentz more time.Von MillerFrustration had already been mounting for Broncos defenders by the time of the their first loss in Week 3, as cornerback Chris Harris Jr. said the secondary was "stagnant" and "sitting ducks." Two weeks later and Denver is now mired in a three-game skid after giving up 323 rushing yards in a loss to the Jets.Miller is running into the same problem Khalil Mack faced in Oakland: there's only so much an elite pass rusher can do for his defense when the rest of the unit isn't up to par. Teams are keying on Miller and walling him off with extra resources. The rest of Denver's front seven will have to apply more pressure to make offenses pay for such tactics. And even thought the "No Fly Zone" secondary is no more, Bradley Roby must do a better job of filling in for Aqib Talib after ranking as the 100th-best <h2>Greg Olsen Authentic Jersey</h2>
