Dallas Cowboys Running Back Room Rating: Get Rico Dowdle and Ezekiel Elliot for NFL Thursday Night Football Fantasy Pick'em

The Dallas Cowboys running back room continues to be one of the most frustrating and difficult backfields to evaluate week to week. Three losses to start the season have made it nearly impossible to predict what this offense would look like in a normal game.

So far this season, Rico Dowdle (23 runs) and Ezekiel Elliott (19 runs) have shared the workload, but we're seeing Dallas gradually phase out its 29-year-old veteran. Elliott's runs have been decreasing each week, with ten in Week 1, six in Week 2, and just three last week.

Dowdle, on the other hand, is trending in the opposite direction. After receiving nine touches in the season opener, he has received 11 in each of the last two games. He has seen a significant increase in his touches during that time, with a total of 10 in Weeks 2 and 3.

The fourth-year running back from South Carolina has been the more efficient runner and should continue to take over this backfield, especially with the Cowboys entering the contest 1-2. Now it's time for Dallas to let its best players do the bulk of the work, regardless of Elliott's history with the franchise.

The Cowboys enter their Thursday Night Football matchup against the New York Giants as six-point favorites, meaning they should be in control of this game. The Giants rank in the bottom third of the NFL when it comes to stopping the run, but they have done better at passing and are in the top half of the league.

This is a game where the Cowboys running backs should finally have success, and Dowdle is the right guy to do it.

Dowdle is more or less Running and receiving yards Line on SuperDraft is set to 57.5 go into play. MORE for Dowdle is a great game. Ezekiel Elliott fade and select FEWER on his 28.5 running yards Line is also the right way.
