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.

Outlook Kyle Monangai
Kyle Monangai Uncertain for Opener While Managing Knee Injury
Monangai enters the week questionable with a knee injury, leaving his availability in doubt. Operating as the primary backup behind D'Andre Swift, who is also managing an injury, Monangai needs clearance before fantasy managers can consider him, so be sure to check back often for updates on his game-day status.
Fantasy managers have largely moved him to the sideline, as his start rate has dropped to 7% despite being 93% rostered. Our weekly projection anticipates around 10 carries for 43 rushing yards and two targets (7.8 fantasy points), but health concerns make him a risky play who is best left on your bench.
