The possibility remains that Ezekiel Elliott will face punishment under the NFL's Personal Conduct Policy.

Elliott will face potential discipline until the league officially clears the Dallas Cowboys running back in an investigation dating back to July of 2016.

"This is a situation that has gone back and forth so many times," ESPN's Adam Schefter recently said during an appearance on SiriusXM Fantasy Sports Radio. "I've spoken to some people within the league who, during the course of the offseason, got a sense that some form of discipline could happen. And then I spoke to somebody last week and they’re like, 'Yeah, I don't think anything is going to happen here.' And then a decision that many people thought would come before the start of the the July Fourth weekend on Friday when the NFL usually makes a lot of decisions, hands down some news, I was told that was being pushed back.

"Now why is that being pushed back? Was it being pushed back, actually? Maybe it wasn’t even. But I was told there wasn’t going to be an answer here for a little while, that there was more information. There have been more meetings between either Zeke’s people and the league, or the NFLPA and the league, or whoever. It’s just been an ongoing issue that has had no conclusion. And so, if you're drafting [fantasy football players] today, it's hard to say, ‘Well, nothing’s going to happen there.

"Nothing may well happen there, but something could happen there. We just don't know right now. It's just sort of out there."
