Cowboys RB Miles Sanders (knee, ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game vs. the Panthers. Patrik Walker of the team's official site reports that Sanders is headed for season-ending IR. That'd leave rookie Jaydon Blue as the No. 2 RB. It seems unlikely at this point that Blue will carve out enough work behind a healthy Javonte Williams to be a reliable fantasy play. But he's a Williams injury away from a big role in a high-scoring offense. Blue should be rostered in most fantasy leagues.

Cowboys RB Miles Sanders (knee, ankle) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Jets. RB Jaydon Blue is active for the first time this season. We’ll see how big a role the rookie plays in his debut, but he’d be a desperation fantasy start. RB Javonte Williams should remain Dallas’ workhorse today.

Cowboys RB Miles Sanders (knee, ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Jets. He didn’t practice all week, so he’s seemingly on the doubtful side of questionable. HC Brian Schottenheimer said Friday that RB Jaydon Blue will likely make his debut this week, which also suggests that Sanders will be inactive. Regardless, RB Javonte Williams will continue to control work in this backfield and is a strong Week 5 start.

Cowboys RB Miles Sanders (knee, ankle) did not practice on Wednesday. HC Brian Schottenheimer said earlier this week that Sanders would have a chance to play vs. the Jets this weekend, but this isn't a good start. Sanders' absence would likely allow RB Jaydon Blue to make his NFL debut. The rookie remains worth stashing in deeper fantasy leagues.

Cowboys RB Miles Sanders left Sunday night's game with an ankle injury. HC Brian Schottenheimer said Monday, though, that Sanders will "have the chance to play" in Sunday's game against the Jets, according to Joe Hoyt of The Dallas Morning News. Sanders left in the second quarter against the Packers, leaving the whole backfield to Javonte Williams. Williams handled 20 of 22 RB carries for 85 yards and a TD. He caught all three of his targets for 15 more.

Cowboys rookie RB Jaydon Blue has yet to be active through his first three games in the NFL. But HC Brian Schottenheimer told 105.3 The Fan in Dallas that it's not a matter of the fifth-round pick disappointing coaches. Schottenheimer says the team has simply needed more defensive help on the game-day roster.

Cowboys RB Javonte Williams gave you another solid fantasy line in the Week 3 loss to the Bears, especially in full-PPR scoring. Williams led the team with 76 rushing yards on 10 carries and caught all five of his targets for 16 yards. But he also ceded more playing time to Miles Sanders than in the previous two games. Sanders finished with a 9-41 rushing line and 3 receptions for 12 yards on three targets.

Cowboys RB Javonte Williams rushed for 97 yards and a TD on 18 carries while also adding six receptions for 33 yards in the Cowboys’ win against the Giants. He handled 77.4% of the backfield touches, giving him a strong case to be included in fantasy lineups going forward.

The Cowboys carried only two active RBs (plus FB Hunter Luepke) into Thursday night's game against the Eagles, and Javonte Williams dominated the work. He played 47 (of 61) offensive snaps vs. just 11 for No. 2 RB Miles Sanders. Williams also carried 15 times to Sanders' four and ran 27 pass routes to Sanders' 3, according to Pro Football Focus. Williams tallied a 15-54-2 rushing line in the loss, adding 2 receptions for 10 yards on three targets.

Eagles DT Jalen Carter got ejected before the first offensive snap of Thursday night's game against the Cowboys after he spit on QB Dak Prescott. Carter approached the Dallas huddle to apparently talk some trash, Prescott stepped forward, and the camera caught Carter spitting on the QB's jersey.
