I may try and package him for an upgrade at the position.

Guy goes from 20 carries (with good efficiency) to his season low the next week.
These coaches have any idea what they're doing?

No, they do not. It's absurd.

He did catch 5 for 30 so at least he's getting some receptions in a blow out.
This offense is a mess though.

Many quotes in the news about Zeke questioning why he wasn’t getting the ball more. This was easy to see coming into Sunday’s game.

Dude, why wouldn’t you share those quotes ahead of time?
jerry jones

I read them somewhere Sunday morning, thought it would be common knowledge. I immediately benched Dowdle

At this stage in his career Zeke should just be glad he's on a roster instead of questioning why he wasn't getting the ball more.
BladeRunner

Right? WTH is he thinking? Shut up and be grateful you're employed.

Exactly

He's actaully not on the wire but Elliot has been all year.

Now we see why Dalvin is up tonight but I didn't expect this was the reason where was the coverage on it ?
Rotoworld said "Reports surfaced Sunday morning of an illness being dealt with by the Cowboys’ starting running back, which will ultimately hold him out for the team’s Week 8"
Umm I heard no news did others hear about this news this morning ?

I've got to use Slayton now too. IDK if I'd say "lucky" but options are kind of limited at this point

I would think Elliot would be better than Slayton. He should get the start

I did not see ANY reports about Dowdle this morning either. That's got to be a complete fabrication.
I don't need Dowdle but those who HAVE to play him just got shafted. I don't know, but NFL Teams seem to be playing fast and loose with the rules here. The NFL needs to come down hard on these teams that play these games with their injury/inactives reporting.

To be fair, if you were relying on Dowdle you were in deep ****

Crushing. Will lose in two leagues because of this unless Turpin becomes a thing tonight. Oh well.

Thank god I won the matchup but could always use the points if known earlier would have replaced him with Allen my only RB on my bench.
WaltonGoggins
Footballguy
not necessarily I got lucky and won my matchup in my 18 team league but could have easily lost. I had Allen on my bench would have played over him if we had known this morning he was sick.

No really, just didn’t need a goose egg from flex.

Please tell me Zeke is now an afterthought.
Dowdle has only had one game (opening weekend) of less than 4ypc. Oddly enough, Zeke's only week of at least 4ypc was opening weekend.
How many times does he have to prove he's the guy?

Nah, coaches are idiots. I'm sure he will get more carries than Dowdle next week. It's evident everywhere in the league. MHJ gets no more than 5 targets a week, James Cook splits with a rookie.

Maybe this guy isn't so bad? Last two of 3, pretty good games. I think I heard 3 receiving tds in last 4.

I’m starting him
Yeah why not

I need to hire someone to manage my fantasy team. I can't keep making decisions like playing Dowdle. Dallas doesn't get anywhere near the end zone & they have a horrible play caller and coach on top of it.

Update?

Could’ve put this game away earlier if they had got that running game going right away in the second half. Also could’ve been a career day for Dowdle if McCarthy had stuck with what he said about riding the running back.
Rushing Yards: 112
