Ezekiel Elliott leaves Patriots visit without contract
According to Mike Garafolo of NFL Network, free agent RB Ezekiel Elliott left his Saturday visit with the New England Patriots without a deal.
Fantasy Impact
Though a deal was not made then and there, the two sides will reportedly stay in touch. To the dismay of Rhamondre Stevenson fantasy managers everywhere, the New England Patriots seem committed to the idea of bringing in a secondary veteran RB to complement the 25-year-old RB. Elliott still has the ability to be a valuable short-yardage back in the NFL and a secondary runner and remains a free agent for now.

Jonathan Taylor formally requests a trade
According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, RB Jonathan Taylor has formally requested a trade from the Indianapolis Colts.
Fantasy Impact
Taylor had been involved in the RB uproar regarding contracts and proper compensation as he himself is up for an extension. Colts owner Jim Irsay had expressed that the team was uninterested in extending him. Irsay and Taylor, who is currently on the PUP list, met during practice to discuss the situation. According to Stephen Holder of ESPN, Taylor had requested a contract days ago and was not told “no.” Irsay said after the meeting that they still did not plan on extending Taylor. Taylor is one of the top RBs in the NFL and in fantasy, and he can instantly boost any offense that decides to make a move for him, though they will likely have to be prepared to give him a large extension.
