In a disappointing performance against the Houston Texans, Rico Dowdle led the Dallas Cowboys in carries but struggled to make an impact, rushing for only 28 yards on 10 attempts and catching 2 passes for 6 yards. With Dak Prescott sidelined due to a hamstring injury, Dowdle's fantasy value may take a hit as defenses can focus more on stopping the run. Additionally, the Cowboys have signed Dalvin Cook to their practice squad, adding competition for Dowdle's playing time.
- Dak Prescott's injury significantly impacts Dowdle's fantasy value.
- Dallas' backfield competition increases with the signing of Dalvin Cook.
