Dalvin Cook Remains On Practice Squad

Saturday, November 9, 6:56 PM

Dallas Cowboys running back Dalvin Cook won't be elevated from the practice squad ahead of the Week 10 matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles. Cook has been on the active roster for each of the last two games, but hasn't done much damage on the field. He has rushed eight times for 20 yards over his past two appearances. The Cowboys have decided to go a different route this weekend. Instead, Rico Dowdle, Ezekiel Elliott, and Deuce Vaughn will split up the carries in the backfield. Out of the trio, Dowdle is the most reliable option with a 75-yard performance during last week's loss to the Atlanta Falcons. Fantasy managers still holding onto Cook are probably safe to look elsewhere for help.

Tyler Allgeier Could Lead Cardinals Backfield In Week 1

Saturday, September 12, 5:54 AM

Arizona Cardinals running back Tyler Allgeier should see the lion's share of backfield work in Sunday's season opener. Allgeier and Jeremiyah Love (ankle) were expected to work in a timeshare to start the season, but the rookie's high ankle sprain has further clouded an already unclear picture of how the duo's duties would be split. Love is now listed as questionable for Week 1, and head coach Mike LaFleur called him a game-time decision. Even if that decision benefits Allgeier, he has a tough opponent in the Chargers, who gave up the sixth-fewest fantasy points per game to running backs in 2025. And with Arizona expected to be playing from behind, they may rely more on the pass than the run. Allgeier will be a risky play for most on Sunday, but a potential flex option in deeper leagues depending on Love's status.
