2024 RTSports Outlook
The Cowboys hope to have found their top backup at running back, picking Vaughn in the sixth round of this year's draft. Vaughn lacks size, which is a concern, but he wasn't afraid of contact in college. He was a productive three-down back. He catches the ball well and does good between the tackles despite his lack of bulk.
FANTASY OUTLOOK: Size is a concern, but he could get some weekly touches in this offense. He might be worth a late-round look in deeper formats. He could get 300 total yards and a score or two.
| Fantasy Week | Pts | Scoring |

Dynasty | The Cowboys have signed running back Ezekiel Elliott to a one-year deal. Dynasty Analysis: Elliott spent his first seven seasons with the Cowboys before a rather unimpressive 2023 campaign with New England. He'll likely compete with Rico Dowdle, Deuce Vaughn and Royce Freeman to form some kind of committee that could be effective in reality but a mess in fantasy. Elliott simply isn't the same player he once was and while this move makes him roster-worthy again, expectations should be realistic.
The Dallas Cowboys placed rookie running back Deuce Vaughn (ankle) on Injured Reserve on Wednesday and activated defensive lineman Viliami Fehoko (knee) from Injured Reserve in a corresponding move. Vaughn's move to IR is a sign that Rico Dowdle (ankle) should be OK to play in the Week 18 regular season finale against the Washington Commanders on Sunday after he sat out last week's win over the Detroit Lions on Saturday. The 22-year-old Vaughn was the talk of training camp over the summer, but he never really found a meaningful role with Tony Pollard and Dowdle in front of him in his rookie season. He finishes his first year in the NFL with 23 carries for 40 yards and seven catches for an additional 40 yards through the air. With Vaughn now out heading into the playoffs, Malik Davis will serve as the team's No. 3 RB.
From RotoBaller
Dallas Cowboys rookie running back Deuce Vaughn could have a role in a Week 17 game against the Detroit Lions. With usual backup Rico Dowdle (ankle) already ruled out, Vaughn could play the backup and change of pace role behind starter Tony Pollard. Vaughn hasn't been active since Week 10 and has totaled just 38 rushing yards all season, so it's hard to know what to expect, but there's a clear path to a role on offense for the rookie this week.
