Malik Davis News
Sunday, August 23, 2:58 PM
Dallas Cowboys running back Malik Davis "seems to be the player with whom the Cowboys are most comfortable" in the RB2 role behind starting back Javonte Williams, per Jon Machota of The Athletic. Davis played in 10 games for Dallas in 2025, recording 250 rushing yards and two touchdowns on 52 carries. The 27-year-old has been competing for the Cowboys' RB2 role in training camp with 2025 draftees Jaydon Blue and Phil Mafah. While Machota acknowledges that Blue specifically has the higher upside, he predicts that Davis will open the year as Dallas' primary backup. As long as Williams remains healthy, neither Davis nor Blue is likely to see a fantasy-relevant workload. Still, fantasy managers searching for a handcuff option for Williams may want to target Davis with a late-round draft pick.

Tyrone Tracy Jr. News
Saturday, August 22, 5:08 PM
New York Giants running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. "could be a trade candidate ahead of final cuts," according to Kevin Patra of NFL.com. A fourth-round pick of the Giants in 2024, Tracy Jr. has topped 1,000 scrimmage yards in each of his first two NFL seasons. However, New York has a new coaching staff in place under John Harbaugh heading into 2026, and the team has a trio of capable running back options outside of Tracy Jr. in Cam Skattebo, Najee Harris, and Devin Singletary. Tracy Jr. has also had a rough preseason so far. He whiffed on a block that led to a big hit on Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart in the team's first game and fumbled in New York's second game against the Miami Dolphins on Saturday. Given the backfield depth in New York, Tracy Jr.'s fantasy value would likely be improved by a move elsewhere.
