Outlook Malik Davis
Malik Davis slotted as the primary backup with minimal standalone fantasy value
Malik Davis enters the season operating as the primary backup to starter Javonte Williams in the Cowboys' backfield, ahead of Emari Demercado on the depth chart. While late camp reports highlighted his position as the clear RB2, Dallas must also navigate without starting guard Tyler Smith, who is sidelined following thumb surgery.
Rostered in roughly 6% of leagues with a near-zero start rate, Davis holds no immediate standalone value. Our weekly projection forecasts around 5 carries for 23 rushing yards and negligible receiving involvement (4.2 fantasy points). Barring an expanded role or an injury ahead of him, he should be left on the bench across all formats.

Mike Washington Offers High-Upside Stash Value With Expanded Role Looming
Rookie Mike Washington generated significant buzz after dominating the preseason in rushing efficiency, prompting offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak to signal an expanding role. Operating as the primary backup behind Ashton Jeanty—who has been dealing with an ankle issue—Washington is firmly entrenched as Las Vegas' next man up.
Currently rostered in 64% of leagues but started in just 2%, fantasy managers are appropriately treating him as a stash. Our weekly projection expects around six carries and 24 rushing yards (5.3 fantasy points). Keep him stashed on your bench this week, though any missed time from Jeanty would provide immediate flex appeal.
