Cowboys RB Tyler Goodson carried a season-high 12 times for 77 yards in Sunday's win over the Colts. That trailed the 20 carries -- and 5 targets -- of Javonte Williams, but Goodson was the only other Dallas RB to see the field. It was his third straight game with 9+ touches.
2026 Fantasy Football Impact: RB Insurance Widely Available
Goodson played fewer than half as many snaps as Williams, so he's not threatening the starter's role at all. But seven of his 12 carries against the Colts came in the first half. So he's clearly involved.
Sunday's game followed 7 carries and 2 catches in the Week 8 loss to Arizona and 10 carries the week before against Philadelphia. Goodson had totaled 13 touches across his previous four games.
Of course, we're talking about a RB with 4 receptions on the season, no TDs, and a mere 3.1 yards per rush.
Goodson's fantasy value resides entirely in his handcuff role behind Williams. But he sits available in 97% of Sleeper leagues.
If you have Williams on your fantasy team and don't already have RB insurance in case he goes down, Goodson's worth adding.
