Should I Start Rabih Abdullah?

The Dallas Morning News' Calvin Watkins writes that new head coach Brian Schottenheimer "hinted a rotation could be on the way once the regular season starts." Schottenheimer also named running backs Javonte Williams and Miles Sanders as the two backs that were competing for the starting gig, and it would be a surprise if rookie Jaydon Blue, who has drawn criticism for his laziness, has a substantial role early on in 2025. Neither Williams nor Sanders have stood out early on in training camp, perhaps leading Schottenheimer to hint at a possible committee approach. Williams, 25, had lots of promise after rushing for 903 yards in his rookie but hasn't been the same after a season-ending knee injury in 2022. Sanders similarly had a career year in Philly in 2022 and has fallen off a cliff the last two years. If Williams and Sanders end up splitting touches down the middle, it will be hard to get excited about either in fantasy.
