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

Ed Werder

Nov 14 · 12:47 PM EST

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.

Related Players: Ezekiel Elliott, Deuce Vaughn, Dalvin Cook, Hunter Luepke

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.

Cowboys QB Dak Prescott (hamstring) opts for surgery, out for season

Pro Football Talk

Nov 12 · 10:31 AM EST

Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott will have surgery tomorrow and miss the rest of the season.

That’s the word from Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, who said today on 105.3 The Fan that Prescott is in New York, has consulted with doctors there, and has scheduled the season-ending surgery for Wednesday.

Related players: Cooper Rush, Trey Lance, CeeDee Lamb, Rico Dowdle

Fantasy Impact:

Jones said Prescott's, "prognosis is wonderful," so he should be good to go in time for next season, as the recovery timeline is about three months according to the story. The Cowboys announced Rush will get the start in Week 11, but Lance is lingering in the background and could get the call if Rush struggles like he did against the Eagles. So far, it seems like a big downgrade for the Cowboys offense.

Cowboys QB Dak Prescott will miss time with hamstring injury

Cowboys QB Dak Prescott’s hamstring injury was worse than initially feared. He is expected to miss multiple weeks, sources tell me and Tom Pelissero.

Related players: Cooper Rush, CeeDee Lamb, Rico Dowdle

Fantasy Impact:

Some thought it would initially be a short-term injury, but that doesn't appear to be the case. It's a big blow for the Cowboys who were already struggling this year, but Rush at QB likely won't help the overall passing game, and it's a downgrade for Lamb owners as well. The Cowboys could try and play a little more a ball-control offense, but their run game is among the worst in the league. The Cowboys will host the Eagles this week who have been on a bit of a roll defensively.

Cowboys: RB Rico Dowdle 'needs to touch the ball more'

Tommy Yarrish on X

"He definitely needs to touch the ball more, without a doubt." - Mike McCarthy on Rico Dowdle.

Related players: Ezekiel Elliott

Fantasy Impact:

Elliott was the only other RB to touch the ball, running 8 times for 17 yards in Week 6. Dowdle ran just 5 times but gained 25 yards. Dowdle was more involved in the passing game since the Cowboys fell behind early, and he caught 5 balls for 30 yards. Dowdle did touch the ball 22 times in Week 5 against the Steelers to Elliott's 6 rushes, so the Cowboys do seem to be trending away from the committee in favor of Dowdle, which was reported a couple weeks ago. The game script probably played a factor in Week 6. The Cowboys have a bye in Week 7 and come back to a game at San Francisco in Week 8 on Sunday night, so it's possible we see a more obvious use of Dowdle with any adjustments coming off the bye week.
