Should I Start Tyler Goodson?

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.
