Tyler Goodson to Miss Multiple Weeks Due to Knee Injury

Monday, November 9, 12:52 PM

Dallas Cowboys backup running back Tyler Goodson (knee) "should miss multiple weeks" with a knee injury that he suffered in Sunday's Week 9 win over the Indianapolis Colts, head coach Brian Schottenheimer told The Dallas Morning News' Joseph Hoyt. At the very least, Goodson will miss the Week 10 game this Sunday against the San Francisco 49ers and could also miss the Week 11 contest at home against the Tennessee Titans before the annual Thanksgiving Day game the following Thursday at home versus the division-rival Philadelphia Eagles. The 25-year-old has not really had any standalone fantasy value as the backup to starter Javonte Williams this year, but he did have a career-high 77 rushing yards on a season-high 12 carries behind Williams in Sunday's win in Indy to make him a valuable fantasy handcuff. With Goodson now out for a couple of weeks, the Cowboys could look to sign a free-agent RB, as they only have Israel Abanikanda and Jashaun Corbin at the position right now on their practice squad. If Goodson is forced to Injured Reserve, he would have to miss a minimum of four games.

Eli Heidenreich a Worthy Stash Candidate Amid Backfield Injuries in Pittsburgh

Friday, September 25, 12:15 PM

A seventh-round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft out of Navy, Pittsburgh Steelers running back Eli Heidenreich has yet to record his first NFL carry. However, the 23-year-old appears to be in line for an expanded role in his team's Week 3 matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals. Steelers running back Rico Dowdle (toe) has already been ruled out with a toe injury, and veteran back Jaylen Warren (shoulder) is officially questionable with a shoulder issue. If neither of Pittsburgh's top two running backs is available, Heidenreich could take over the majority of the team's backfield work on Sunday. Even if Warren plays, Heidenreich would be the next man up and could take on some secondary touches. Heading into Week 3, fantasy managers may want to consider stashing Heidenreich off the waiver wire.
