Texas RB Jaydon Blue was selected by the Dallas Cowboys with the 149th overall selection in the 2025 NFL Draft.
Huddle Up: Blue has a chance to earn a solid role in the running game in his rookie season since the Cowboys do not have a clear No. 1 running back. Blue could be a late round pick in fantasy drafts with the chance to be productive for players.

Dallas Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones told 105.3 The Fan on Friday, April 25, that he doesn't "feel the need to reach" when asked about selecting a running back in the 2025 NFL Draft. The Cowboys currently have Javonte Williams, Miles Sanders, Deuce Vaughn and Malik Davis vying for backfield snaps.
Huddle Up: Despite Jones' optimism, Dallas has one of the worst running back rooms in the league, so expect the team to address the position on Day 2 in what is one of the deepest running back classes in recent memory. Williams and Sanders seem to be locks to win roster spots, but there are at least five rookies still available who would likely win an open competition in training camp.

Dallas Cowboys QB Dak Prescott (hamstring) believes he has recovered well enough from last year's season-ending hamstring injury that he could play in a game today, Prescott said Friday, April 11, at the 35th annual Children's Cancer Fund gala. "I'm getting close to where I want to be. I don't want to put a percentage on it," Prescott added. "I know we've got team activities coming up, imagine myself being involved in some sort if not all. Then again I just understand my age, what I've had, what I've went through, it's about being my best in the fall. So I'm not rushing anything, but I'm where I want to be."
Huddle Up: This is encouraging news, but Prescott still comes with significant concerns given the lack of weapons behind CeeDee Lamb, a suspect running game, and Dallas' shaky offensive line. Should some of those deficiencies improve, he's a fringe QB1 in 2025 drafts.

Dallas Cowboys QB Dak Prescott (hamstring) is making good progress in his recovery but will be a limited participant in offseason workouts, according to executive vice president Stephen Jones.
Huddle Up: Prescott does not need much work this offseason and appears to be on track for training camp. He will have a similar group of pass catchers to work with next season and probably can be a low-end No. 1 or high-end No. 2 quarterback in most fantasy leagues.

New England Patriots QB Joe Milton III has drawn interest from the Dallas Cowboys as a potential trade target in their search for a backup quarterback, according to sources Saturday, March 22.
Huddle Up: With the Cowboys looking for a viable backup to Dak Prescott and New England set with Drake Maye, Dallas could be looking to deal for the developmental quarterback. Milton is simply a handcuff entering the 2025 season, but his tools could make him an intriguing fantasy asset if he ever gets an opportunity. Until then, managers should simply monitor his status.

Free-agent RB Miles Sanders (Panthers) agreed with the Dallas Cowboys on a one-year deal Friday, March 14. Financial terms weren't disclosed.
Huddle Up: Sanders is worth handcuffing to Javonte Williams. He turns 28 in May and could still be worthy of an RB5 spot - especially since Williams has a checkered injury history.
Posted 3/10/2025 11:20 pm GMT
Impending free-agent RB Javonte Williams (Broncos) agreed to terms on a one-year contract with the Dallas Cowboys Monday, March 10, worth as much as $3.5 million, according to sources.
Huddle Up: Williams seems to have a chance to receive most of the work at running back next season depending on that the Cowboys do at the position. Fantasy players should keep an eye on the situation because Williams could be a No. 3 or No. 4 running back if he starts for the Cowboys.

Dallas Cowboys QB Dak Prescott (hamstring) has yet to be cleared to return to the hamstring injury that ended his season and may not be participate in any offseason practices, but he has no doubt that he will be ready to play by Week 1 of the 2025 season.
"I'm not (going to) put a timeline on it, but I'll be ready for the first game and when anything matters and very, very ready. I'm feeling good. I'm doing more and more. The last two weeks have been huge and progressive for me," Prescott said during a recent public appearance.
Huddle Up: The Cowboys need Prescott healthy in 2025, if only because they may not have another quarterback on the roster familiar with new head coach Brian Schottenheimer's playbook. Dallas also has plenty of work to do from a roster-building perspective, as the offensive line and running back are two major concerns. As long as Prescott and CeeDee Lamb stay healthy this season, however, Prescott should be a more than serviceable fantasy QB2.
Posted 3/04/2025 7:02 pm GMT
Dallas Cowboys WR CeeDee Lamb agreed to a restructured contract on Tuesday, March 4, that will create $20 million of salary cap space, according to a source. Terms of the restructured contract were not immediately disclosed.
Huddle Up: As is usually the case with restructures, the Cowboys are kicking the salary-cap can down the road by converting a big chunk of his 2025 base salary into a signing bonus. This move should allow Dallas to be "selectively aggressive" in free agency.
Posted 3/02/2025 7:27 pm GMT
Dallas Cowboys QB Dak Prescott (hamstring) does not want to put a timetable on his return from his hamstring injury but indicated that he will be ready for the 2025 season.
Huddle Up: Prescott does not need to do much during offseason workouts and should have plenty of time to be ready for training camp. He is one of the better quarterbacks in the NFL when healthy and probably will be a No. 1 fantasy quarterback in most leagues.

Denver Broncos impending free-agent RB Javonte Williams is a player the Broncos are open to re-signing this offseason, according to general manager George Paton.
Huddle Up: Williams was part of a committee with the Broncos this season and probably will not be a starter no matter where he signs this offseason. He likely can be avoided in most fantasy leagues next season.

Dallas Cowboys QB Dak Prescott said he expects to use play-action more often under head coach Brian Schottenheimer. "I've always enjoyed play-action pass, so just being able to get back to that," Prescott said. "But you've got to start with the run game, and when you have that, the rest of the offense can open up."
Huddle Up: Although Schottenheimer's offensive philosophy could provide Prescott with more opportunities to make plays down the field, it sounds like it will mean a more run-heavy approach overall. Prescott should probably be viewed as a solid QB2.
Posted 2/12/2025 4:00 am GMT
Dallas Cowboys QB Dak Prescott (hamstring) noted that "my health is good" and he is "looking to amp (his recovery from a torn hamstring) up" during a news conference promoting a fashion show on Tuesday, Feb. 11.
Huddle Up: Prescott is 12 weeks into his rehab and appears to be quite confident he will be 100% sooner than later. While he stated during the news conference he is excited to have new head coach Brian Schottenheimer take over, fantasy managers should be skeptical - at least as it pertains to Prescott reaching the heights he once did under former head coach Mike McCarthy. He should be valued as a decent QB2 option in most drafts this spring and summer.

Denver Broncos RB Javonte Williams ran the ball five times for 28 yards against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 18. He added three receptions for 50 yards. Williams was targeted four times.
Huddle Up: On a day when Denver ran the ball 43 times, Williams had five carries. Despite a respectable 78 yards, he's a long shot to deliver meaningful value in the Wild Card matchup against Buffalo.
Posted 1/06/2025 1:44 am GMT
Dallas Cowboys TE Jake Ferguson posted two receptions for 12 yards on four targets in Week 18 against the Washington Commanders.
Huddle Up: Ferguson ended up with 59 receptions for 494 yards on 86 targets across 14 games, but he failed to find the end zone in 2024. He has some TE1 fantasy potential, but he needs to be more visible in the red zone. Heading into 2025, he should be drafted as a TE2, but he has TE1 ability.
Posted 1/06/2025 1:31 am GMT
Dallas Cowboys WR Jalen Tolbert ended up with four receptions for a career-high 98 yards on six targets in Week 18 against the Washington Commanders.
Huddle Up: Tolbert saw his three-game touchdown streak snapped, but the yardage total was nice. He finished the 2024 season with 49 receptions for 610 yards and seven touchdowns on 79 targets. Heading into 2025, if he wins the WR2 job behind CeeDee Lamb, Tolbert could be a useful fantasy receiver in most leagues, especially QB Dak Prescott back.

Carolina Panthers RB Miles Sanders rushed 17 times for 66 yards and a touchdown in Week 18 against the Atlanta Falcons, while adding three receptions for 50 yards and a score on four targets.
Huddle Up: Sanders was shouldering the load with Chuba Hubbard sidelined. Sanders proved he still has a little left in the tank, and perhaps if he landed in the right situation for 2025, he could have a resurgence and some fantasy value. Stay tuned.
Posted 1/05/2025 5:12 pm GMT
Carolina Panthers RB Miles Sanders (ankle) is officially active for the Week 18 game.
Huddle Up: Sanders will be the starting running back for the Panthers and should see a good amount of carries in the running game. He could be a possible flex option in fantasy leagues.
Posted 1/04/2025 7:04 pm GMT
Carolina Panthers RB Miles Sanders (ankle) was activated off injured reserve on Saturday, Jan. 4.
Huddle Up: Sanders has been a shell of the running back that had success in Philadelphia, but he's potentially looking at a massive workload in Week 18 with Chuba Hubbard out. That possible but not guaranteed volume is the only thing that makes him a viable flex play.
Posted 1/03/2025 9:37 pm GMT
Dallas Cowboys WR Jalen Tolbert (finger) practiced in full for the third straight day on Friday, Jan. 3, and carries no designation for Week 18.
Huddle Up: Tolbert has scored in three straight games but also has just 61 receiving yards in that span. He's a touchdown-dependent flex play, at best, in Week 18.
Posted 1/03/2025 8:02 pm GMT
Carolina Panthers RB Miles Sanders (ankle) fully participated in practice Friday, Jan. 3, but is listed as questionable for Week 18.
Huddle Up: Sanders should have a good chance to play in the finale, but fantasy players should check the inactive list for his official status. He probably will see a majority of the snaps at running back if he plays and could be a possible flex option in leagues.
Posted 1/02/2025 9:58 pm GMT
Dallas Cowboys WR Jalen Tolbert (finger) fully participated in practice Thursday, Jan. 2.
Huddle Up: Tolbert had been held to 30 yards or less in eight of his last nine games but does have a touchdown in each of his last three games. He could be a possible flex option in some deeper leagues this week.
Posted 1/02/2025 9:51 pm GMT
Dallas Cowboys WR Jalen Brooks (knee) fully participated in practice Thursday, Jan. 2.
Huddle Up: Brooks has caught at least two passes in only one game this season and should be avoided in all fantasy leagues even with CeeDee Lamb out for the season.
Posted 1/02/2025 8:30 pm GMT
Carolina Panthers RB Miles Sanders (ankle) was limited during practice Thursday, Jan. 2.
Huddle Up: Sanders seems to have a good chance to play in Week 18 and likely will receive a majority of snaps if he plays. He could be a possible flex option in deeper leagues but is not a must-start option.
Posted 1/01/2025 9:46 pm GMT
Dallas Cowboys WR Jalen Tolbert (finger) fully participated in practice Wednesday, Jan. 1. The Cowboys did not hold a practice Wednesday, so this is an estimation.
Huddle Up: Tolbert has caught a touchdown in each of the last three games but has been to 30 yards or less in each of those games. He probably will see a few targets this week and could be a possible flex option in some deeper leagues.
Posted 1/01/2025 9:38 pm GMT
Dallas Cowboys WR Jalen Brooks (knee) fully participated in practice Wednesday, Jan. 1. The Cowboys did not hold a practice Wednesday, so this is an estimation.
Huddle Up: Brooks was only targeted one time in the last game even though the team was without CeeDee Lamb. He probably will only see a few targets this week and can be avoided in fantasy leagues.
Posted 1/01/2025 7:22 pm GMT
Carolina Panthers RB Miles Sanders (ankle) practiced in full on Wednesday, Jan. 1.
Huddle Up: Sanders was cleared to play last week, but the Panthers officially started his return clock this week. There's a good chance Sanders will start with Chuba Hubbard out, but the veteran running back has been terrible during his stint in Carolina and can't be trusted in lineups.
Posted 12/31/2024 1:30 am GMT
Carolina Panthers RB Miles Sanders (ankle) received medical clearance to play last week, according to head coach Dave Canales.
Huddle Up: Sanders has a chance to receive the start in Week 18 since Chuba Hubbard is unavailable. He could be a possible flex option in some deeper leagues if he starts.
Posted 12/29/2024 9:27 pm GMT
Dallas Cowboys WR Jalen Tolbert caught three of his four targets for 30 yards and a touchdown in a 41-7 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 17.
Huddle Up: Tolbert has actually scored in three straight games, but he has just six total receptions in that stretch. Despite the touchdown streak, Tolbert doesn't have a big enough role to trust as a fantasy option.
