Rico Dowdle, RB, Dallas Cowboys
Dallas has placed its rushing game in the hands of Ezekiel Elliott. That’s another way of saying carries (and catches) are very much up for grabs in this backfield, seeing as how the 29-year-old was as unproductive as ever while with the New England Patriots last season.
Dowdle, admittedly, wasn’t great, but he was easily more dynamic than Elliott. Dowdle had better per-clip averages both on rushes (4.1 to 3.5) and receptions (8.5 to 6.1). There’s a non-zero chance he gets the bulk of backfield opportunities in this offense, which should be one of the league’s most explosive.
Will Levis, QB, Dallas Cowboys
Levis opened his NFL career with a bang, delivering a whopping four touchdown passes in his first taste of action. That he posted just four touchdown passes and four interceptions the rest of the way shows how quickly excitement faded around his fantasy outlook.
It could be time to buy back in, though. Tennessee’s offense should be far more pass-happy under new coach Brian Callahan, and Levis has new playmakers at his disposal like wide receiver Calvin Ridley and running back Tony Pollard. Throw in the chance that Levis gets some of the short-yardage work that used to go to Derrick Henry, and there are plenty of reasons to believe the arrow is pointing way up for Levis.
