Updating previous reports, free-agent RB Ezekiel Elliott (Patriots) officially signed a one-year deal with the Dallas Cowboys Tuesday, April 30. Financial terms weren't disclosed.
Huddle Up: Zeke figures to get short-yardage and goal line work, and he'll be an RB3 in fantasy with a boost in TD-only leagues.

Free-agent RB Ezekiel Elliott (Patriots) agreed to a undisclosed deal with the Dallas Cowboys Monday, April 29.
Huddle Up: Zeke figures to get short-yardage and goal line work, pegging him as an RB3 in fantasy.

Free-agent RB Ezekiel Elliott (Patriots) appears increasingly likely to return to the Dallas Cowboys to complement and help mentor the rookie running back the team is expected to select at some during the 2024 NFL Draft on Friday, April 26.
Huddle Up: Based on recent comments from team owner Jerry Jones, the Cowboys want that rookie to be University of Texas RB Jonathon Brooks. Regardless of the player that Dallas selects to replace Tony Pollard, Elliott figures to handle goal-line duties and perhaps the bulk of work on third down thanks to his ability to hold up in pass pro. While the days of Elliott being a fantasy RB1 are likely over, the aforementioned role may be enough to keep him in the flex conversation.

Free-agent RB Ezekiel Elliott's (Patriots) representative is meeting with the Dallas Cowboys Wednesday, April 24, according to a source.
Huddle Up: The Cowboys do not have a clear starter at running back, so Elliott probably would have a big role if he decided to return to the Cowboys. Fantasy players can monitor the situation because Elliott could be at least a flex option if he starts in 2024.

Dallas Cowboys QB Dak Prescott said he has not started contract extension talks with the Cowboys at this point but has talked to owner/general manager Jerry Jones about his contract situation.
Huddle Up: Fantasy players can monitor the situation to see if Prescott received a new contract, but he will be the Cowboys starter for at least one more season. He has played very well over the last few seasons and can be a No. 1 quarterback in fantasy leagues.
Posted 4/17/2024 12:08 am GMT
Free-agent RB Royce Freeman (Rams) signed a one-year contract with the Dallas Cowboys Tuesday, April 16, according to a source. Financial terms were not disclosed.
Huddle Up: The Cowboys do not have a clear starter at running back, so Freeman may have the chance to compete for the job during training camp. His fantasy value will be determined by his role in the offense if he makes the team.
Posted 4/15/2024 3:40 pm GMT
Dallas Cowboys WR CeeDee Lamb isn't expected to report to voluntary offseason workouts Monday, April 15, as he seeks a new contract.
Huddle Up: Lamb was the top wideout in fantasy last year. He balled out with a 135-1,749-12 season and added two scores on the ground. He'll be off the board early in the first round of drafts.

Free-agent RB Ezekiel Elliott (Patriots) and the Dallas Cowboys have mutual interest in getting a deal done, according to sources Saturday, March 30.
Huddle Up: A deal hasn't been reached yet, but there seems to be interest. A reunion with Dallas would give Elliott fringe RB2 value with Rico Dowdle spelling him as a change-of-pace back.
Posted 3/27/2024 7:14 pm GMT
Dallas Cowboys QB Dak Prescott remains likely to receive a contract extension, and the team has not ruled out of possibility of an agreement this year, according to a source.
Huddle Up: Prescott has been one of the top quarterbacks for the last few seasons and is in line for a lucrative extension at some point. He should be considered a No. 1 quarterback in all fantasy leagues next season.
Posted 3/26/2024 5:40 pm GMT
Dallas Cowboys QB Dak Prescott and the team reportedly have a "mutual understanding of his contract situation," according to sources. Per NFL Media's Ian Rapoport, Dallas has had talks with Prescott but has not presented Prescott with an offer, nor is there any indication one is in the works.
Huddle Up: Entering the final year of his current contract, Prescott's cap number is a gargantuan $55.455 million, so the team should be motivated to extend him. However, the Cowboys appear to be about as interested in doing an extension with Prescott as they were about getting even moderately involved in free agency. With head coach Mike McCarthy also entering his walk year, Dallas may be looking to hit the reset button after this year if the team fails to live up to expectations again.
Posted 3/18/2024 10:13 pm GMT
Free-agent RB Rico Dowdle (Cowboys) signed with the Dallas Cowboys Monday, March 18. Terms of the contract were not disclosed.
Huddle Up: Dowdle may be the leading candidate for the starting job at this point, but the Cowboys likely will add to the position in free agency and the 2024 NFL Draft. His fantasy value will depend on how big his offensive role will be in 2024.
Posted 3/18/2024 12:30 pm GMT
Dallas Cowboys QB Dak Prescott converted $5 million of a roster bonus into a signing bonus Sunday, March 17, to create $4 million of salary cap relief. The move reduced Prescott's salary cap number to $55.455 million, and two extra void years were added to the deal for cap purposes through 2028.
Huddle Up: Prescott was the QB3 in fantasy last year, and he really didn't get a lot of fanfare for it. He'll be 31 this season and has a lot of questions about his future with the team. There should be no questions about his merit as a QB you should target in the upper-middle portion of QB1s.
Posted 3/04/2024 10:27 pm GMT
Dallas Cowboys QB Dak Prescott said he is confident that he will receive a contract extension at some point.
Huddle Up: Fantasy players can keep an eye on the situation to see if Prescott is extended before the start of the 2024 season. He was one of the top quarterbacks in the NFL this past season and should be a No. 1 quarterback in all fantasy leagues.
Posted 3/03/2024 1:39 pm GMT
Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said there is a possibility that QB Dak Prescott could play out his current deal instead of having his contract extended in order to lower his salary cap hit for 2024. Prescott has no-tag and no-trade clauses so he could become a free agent after the 2024 season if he does not agree to an extension.
Huddle Up: In another scenario, the Cowboys could restructure Prescott's deal to create $18.52 million of salary cap space for 2024 but it would mean deferring money until the 2025 and 2026 seasons, with Prescott counting nearly $55 million against the cap in 2025 even if he is playing for another team. He is one of the league's better quarterbacks and should be viewed as a QB1 option in all fantasy formats in 2024.
Posted 2/11/2024 10:11 pm GMT
Dallas Cowboys WR CeeDee Lamb said he hopes to become the highest-paid receiver or one the highest-paid receivers in the NFL with his next contract.
Huddle Up: Lamb ranked in the top-five in receptions (135), receiving yards (1,749) and receiving touchdowns (12) this season and has been one of the better receivers in the NFL since joining the league. He should receive an extension at some point and will be a weekly starting option in fantasy leagues.
Posted 2/11/2024 7:45 pm GMT
Dallas Cowboys QB Dak Prescott could reach an agreement on a contract extension with the Cowboys before the start of free-agency, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Prescott is expected to be one of the highest-paid quarterbacks in the NFL when the extension is done.
Huddle Up: Prescott's new deal likely will create some salary cap space for the Cowboys, so an agreement should be reached in the next few weeks. He is one of the better quarterbacks in the NFL and should be a No. 1 fantasy quarterback in 2024.
Posted 1/14/2024 6:31 pm GMT
Dallas Cowboys QB Dak Prescott will be a candidate for a contract extension this offseason because he will be entering the final year of his current contract in 2024.
Huddle Up: Prescott led the NFL with 36 passing touchdowns this season and should receive a new deal at some point over the next few months. He likely will continue to be a weekly starting option in all leagues next season.
Posted 1/11/2024 12:07 am GMT
Dallas Cowboys WR Brandin Cooks (non-injury) was limited during practice Wednesday, Jan. 10.
Huddle Up: Cooks extended his touchdown streak to three games last week and has been targeted at least five times in four of the last five games. He should see a similar workload during the Wild Card playoff game and can be at least a flex option in leagues.
Posted 1/05/2024 10:36 pm GMT
Dallas Cowboys RB Rico Dowdle (ankle) fully participated in practice Friday, Jan. 5, and is not on the injury report for Week 18.
Huddle Up: Dowdle should see a limited amount of touches in the offense, but most fantasy players have better options available and can avoid Dowdle in fantasy leagues.
Posted 1/05/2024 4:40 pm GMT
Dallas Cowboys WR CeeDee Lamb confirmed he's seeking to become the NFL's highest-paid receiver in the offseason.
Huddle Up: Lamb is the WR1 in fantasy in PPR and non-PPR after Tyreek Hill's injury slowed him. Lamb will continue to be an elite option at the position.
Posted 1/04/2024 10:36 pm GMT
Dallas Cowboys RB Rico Dowdle (ankle) fully participated in practice Thursday, Jan. 4.
Huddle Up: Dowdle seems likely to return to the lineup this week after sitting out Week 17. He probably will see a handful of touches if he is cleared to play but can be avoided in most fantasy leagues.
Posted 1/03/2024 10:28 pm GMT
Dallas Cowboys WR Brandin Cooks (non-injury) was limited during practice Wednesday, Jan. 3.
Huddle Up: Cooks is coming off one of his better games of the season last week and has four touchdowns in the last six games. He will see a handful of targets this week and can be a flex option in most leagues.
Posted 12/31/2023 1:21 am GMT
Dallas Cowboys RB Rico Dowdle (ankle) was ruled inactive for the Week 17 game against the Detroit Lions on Saturday, Dec. 30.
Huddle Up: With Dowdle out, Tony Pollard should see the majority of the work in the backfield. He's an RB2 option in a tough matchup.
Posted 12/29/2023 10:23 pm GMT
New England Patriots RB Ezekiel Elliott (illness) fully participated in practice Friday, Dec. 29, and has been removed from the Week 17 injury report.
Huddle Up: Elliott will continue to receive most of the work at running back for the final two games of the season and can be a flex option in fantasy leagues.
Posted 12/29/2023 4:20 pm GMT
Dallas Cowboys RB Deuce Vaughn will be active for Week 17, according to head coach Mike McCarthy.
Huddle Up: Vaughn will take the place of Rico Dowdle (ankle), who is out. Vaughn is 5-foot-6 and 176 pounds, so he's not going to be running between the tackles but could be used as a gadget. If you have Pollard, he could be worth handcuffing to him. He's not worth starting against the Washington Commanders.
Posted 12/28/2023 11:08 pm GMT
New England Patriots RB Ezekiel Elliott (illness) did not participate in practice Thursday, Dec. 28.
Huddle Up: Elliott still has a decent chance to play in the Week 17 game, but fantasy players should check on his status in the next day or two. He will be the starting running back for the rest of the season and can be at least a flex option in leagues.
Posted 12/28/2023 10:58 pm GMT
Dallas Cowboys RB Rico Dowdle (ankle) did not participate in practice Thursday, Dec. 28, and has been ruled out for Week 17.
Huddle Up: Tony Pollard should receive most of the work at running back with Dowdle not available and should be a starting option in all fantasy leagues.
Posted 12/27/2023 12:14 am GMT
Dallas Cowboys WR Brandin Cooks (rest) was listed as a limited participant at practice Tuesday, Dec. 26. The Cowboys conducted a walkthrough so participation levels are estimations.
Huddle Up: Cooks would have been limited in a real practice simply due to rest so he should be able to play in Week 17. He's a boom/bust WR3 option against the Detroit Lions and an intriguing DFS play.
Posted 12/21/2023 1:16 am GMT
Dallas Cowboys WR Brandin Cooks (non-injury) was limited during practice Wednesday, Dec. 20.
Huddle Up: Cooks is receiving a rest and should be able to handle his normal workload in Week 16. He was held to only 10 yards in the last game but has been targeted at least five times in four of the last six games. He could be a possible flex option in some deeper leagues.
Posted 12/17/2023 9:01 pm GMT
Dallas Cowboys WR Brandin Cooks (illness) is officially active for the Week 15 game.
Huddle Up: Cooks should see a decent amount of targets this week and could be a possible flex option in some deeper leagues.
