Has a new runner emerged atop the running back depth chart for Dallas?
Rico Dowdle, originally expected to share carries as part of a committee, has emerged as the Cowboys’ lead back. Over the first four games of the season, Dowdle has carried the ball 34 times for 134 yards but has yet to find the end zone. Despite his lack of touchdowns, his production and workload have made him the go-to option in the backfield. Ezekiel Elliott, once the face of the Cowboys’ rushing attack, has seen limited success this season.
