Malik Davis at NYG — Backup Role Leaves Him Off Starting Radars
Davis enters Week 1 operating as the primary backup to starter Javonte Williams in the Dallas backfield. The Cowboys open the season on the road against the Giants in a projected high-scoring divisional matchup, though the offense will have to adjust up front with starting guard Tyler Smith ruled out due to thumb surgery.
With a roster rate sitting at just 6% and virtually zero active starts, Davis carries negligible standalone value heading into the opener. Our weekly projection models him for 4.2 fantasy points on approximately five carries for 23 rushing yards, meaning fantasy managers should keep him firmly planted on the bench as an insurance stash.

Chris Brooks at Minnesota: Committee Role Expands With Josh Jacobs Sidelined
With primary back Josh Jacobs placed on the commissioner exempt list, Green Bay's backfield opens up for Chris Brooks and MarShawn Lloyd heading into Week 1 at Minnesota. Brooks earned a spot on the 53-man roster and split first-team reps with Lloyd when Jacobs missed time during offseason workouts.
Despite his roster rate climbing to 11%, fantasy managers should keep Brooks on the bench. Our weekly projection estimates roughly 4.5 carries, nearly two targets, and 3.9 fantasy points. Until Green Bay establishes the touch split between Brooks, Lloyd, and new acquisition Kaleb Johnson, Brooks profiles strictly as a speculative bench stash.
