Zeke, Shady on snap counts in Week 1

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport is reporting that a couple of veteran running backs who saw their situations change dramatically after the last preseason games — EZEKIEL ELLIOTT, who got properly rich in Dallas, and LESEAN MCCOY, who landed on his feet in Kansas City — will both be eased into action in Week 1. Zeke should be on the field for something like 20 or 25 snaps against the Giants, leaving plenty of work for rookie handcuff TONY POLLARD, while Shady may only see 10 or 15 snaps against the Jaguars in his Kansas City debut. If you drafted theoretical KC lead back DAMIEN WILLIAMS you should have most of what you were expecting ... for now, at least.
