Cowboys "moving away" from RBBC, declaring Rico Dowdle No. 1 RB

Nov 14, 2024

Mike McCarthy moving away from running back by committee concept, declaring Rico Dowdle the No. 1 RB. “Rico needs to touch the ball,” he said.

Fantasy Impact:

This is great and all, but the Cooper Rush-led offense looked beyond miserable last week, and it's hard to see how it's going to get much better moving forward. Consider Dowdle a high-floor/low-ceiling RB3 in Week 11.

WR Jonathan Mingo set to make Cowboys debut in Week 11

Jonathan Mingo is expected to make his debut for the Cowboys this week, per MM.

Mingo was inactive last week following the trade to allow time for ramping up.

Related Players: Jalen Tolbert, KaVontae Turpin, Jalen Brooks

Fantasy Impact:

We wouldn't expect a ton of action from Mingo fantasy-wise, but it's not as if he has a murderer's row of talent standing between himself and a WR2 role. He can be left on waiver wires in most every format, but might be worth checking to see if he ended up on waiver wires in Dynasty leagues.

Seahawks WR DK Metcalf was a full participant today in practice after missing two games with a knee injury. A sign that he'll be back on Sunday.

Fantasy Impact:

Great news for fantasy managers and the Seahawks offense, alike. Slot Metcalf in as a WR2, JSN as a WR3, and boost Geno Smith while you're at it.

Commanders RB Brian Robinson cleared to play ahead of TNF

Commanders RB Brian Robinson Jr. is off the injury report and good to go against the Eagles.

Related Players: Austin Ekeler, Chris Rodriguez, Jeremy McNichols

Fantasy Impact:

Great news for Robinson, who should lead the backfield charge once again in Week 11, though he has a tough matchup against the Eagles front. He should be considered a low-end RB2, with Ekeler falling back into the fringe RB2/3 sphere.
