RB Javonte Williams signs one-year, $3M deal with Cowboys

Tom Pelissero

Former Broncos RB Javonte Williams is signing a one-year, $3 million deal with the Cowboys, per sources. Max $3.5M with incentives.

Related Players: Rico Dowdle, Deuce Vaughn

Fantasy Impact:

This likely means that Dowdle will be out of the picture, but his re-signing is still up in the air as it stands. The Cowboys are still (very) likely to grab a running back with decent draft capital, so Williams' fantasy impact is capped, but he can be considered somewhere in the RB3/4 range with good opportunity to open the year.

Cowboys Beat: Third straight week RB Rico Dowdle dominates carries

Starting in Washington, this is now his third straight week Rico Dowdle taking 70%+ of the carries.

Related players: Ezekiel Elliott, Deuce Vaughn, Dalvin Cook

Fantasy Impact:

The post went on to say Dowdle was averaging 48% of the Cowboys' carries over the course of his first nine games. Pittsburgh was the only week he got more than 57% of the team's carries. We did report, even starting back in summer, that Dowdle was the best RB on the team according to those who cover the Cowboys. Unfortunately for owners, it took some time for Dowdle to become the clear RB1, but for those who own him heading into the playoffs, this is a comforting stat to know. The next question will be what is Dowdle's future with the Cowboys. With so many needs and questions heading into 2025, it's possible Dowdle is back as an overall inexpensive option.

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

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, 2024 · 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.
