Miles Sanders Works With First-Team Offense

Wednesday, June 11, 9:34 PM

Dallas Cowboys running back Miles Sanders got some more work with the first-team offense on Wednesday at mandatory minicamp, according to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram's Nick Harris. So far at minicamp, it's been Sanders and Javonte Williams getting the work with the starting offense. In addition to adding Sanders and Williams in free agency this offseason, the Cowboys took Jaydon Blue (fifth round) and Phil Mafah (seventh round) in this year's NFL draft. A committee situation will most likely develop in 2025 among Sanders, Williams and Blue, making Dallas' backfield pretty ugly for fantasy purposes. Sanders had his first 1,000-yard season in his final season in Philly in 2022 before falling off a cliff with 637 rushing yards, three TDs and 3.5 yards per carry in 2023 and 2024. He's unlikely to see the volume needed for a bounce-back and is ranked as the No. 74 RB at RotoBaller entering 2025.

Rico Dowdle Heading To Carolina

Wednesday, March 12, 7:36 PM

The Carolina Panthers have signed free-agent running back Rico Dowdle on Wednesday. The two sides have agreed on a one-year, $6.25 million deal for the upcoming season. On paper, Dowdle is a good fit with the Panthers who certainly need depth behind Chuba Hubbard. Last season, Dowdle rushed for over 1,000 yards across 15 games with the Dallas Cowboys. It's also worth noting that Dowdle hauled in 39 receptions for 249 yards and three touchdowns through the air. This is a low-risk move that should help the Panthers while former second-round pick Jonathon Brooks (knee) recovers from injury.
