all right fantasy football fans let's dive into the Dallas Cowboys running back situation for 2024 should you draft Ezekiel Elliott Dalvin cook Rico dowle or dubon let's break it down first up Ezekiel Elliot Elliot still appears to be penciled in as the starter even with Cook's arrival the question is really about how long he has that role Elliot hasn't been as effective in recent Seasons as earlier in his career his yards after contact per carry have dropped from over 2 yards per carry to an average of 1.6 in recent Seasons that decrease in production after contact has been a major contributor to his decline as a fantasy AET over the last 3 years he really struggled last year with the New England Patriots who had offensive line troubles and other competition for touches as the starter in rre Stevenson the expectation this year was that Elliot had a chance to bounce back into the top 30 at the position and potentially be a weekly rb2 neither dle nor vaugh was expected to take significant touches away and cook might not be much more effective the Intriguing element will be whether this signing actually pushes Elliot's ADP down a little and makes him a better value as of the time of the signing Elliot was going off the board as the RB 36 at number 106 overall while I wouldn't describe him as an amazing value at this point in his career he's still a potential starting RB option at a budget price finally Duce vaugh the rookie he's got the speed and the moves but will he get enough touches that's the million ion doll question vaugh is more of a wild card best suited for deeper leagues in summary Cook's a decent Flex pick dles a sleeper and Von's a gamble pay attention to training camp and preseason games to see how this backfield shakes out it could be a gold mine or a headache depending on who gets the snaps all right hit that subscribe button for more fantasy tips peace out
