Cowboys' Malik Davis: Finds end zone in Week 15 loss
Malik Davis carried the ball eight times for 21 yards and a touchdown and caught two of three targets for 16 yards in Sunday's 34-26 loss to the Vikings.Javonte Williams picked up a shoulder injury on the Dallas Cowboys' opening drive that cost him the rest of the first half, and in his absence Davis punched in a one-yard TD in the second quarter. The two backs then split backfield duties after Williams' return to begin the second half. Davis has gotten into the end zone twice in the last three games, but Sunday's 10 touches were a season high, and his fantasy appeal will be low as long as Williams is healthy. If the shoulder issue proves to be a limiting factor for Dallas' RB1, however, Davis could see elevated volume again Week 16 against the Chargers.

Cowboys' Malik Davis: Limited carries again
Malik Davis gained six rushing yards on three carries in Thursday's loss to the Lions.For the fourth straight game, Davis saw either three or four totes while working as the No. 2 back for the Dallas Cowboys behind Javonte Williams. Thursday's production was by far his lowest during that stretch, however -- a disappointing showing after he broke free for a 43-yard TD in Week 13. As long as Williams remains healthy, Davis will remain little more than a dart throw for fantasy purposes.

Cowboys' Malik Davis: Scores first TD of 2025
Malik Davis turned three carries into 47 yards and a touchdown during the Dallas Cowboys' 31-28 win over the Chiefs on Thursday.Davis played just nine snaps on offense compared to Javonte Williams' 56, but the former helped give the Cowboys a 17-14 lead in the second quarter with a 43-yard touchdown run. With rookie fifth-rounder Jaydon Blue a healthy scratch for each of Dallas' last four games, Davis appears to be fully entrenched as the RB2 behind Williams, though the latter figures to still serve as the team's workhorse out of the backfield. Davis has logged 10 carries for 91 yards across three games since the Cowboys' Week 10 bye.

Cowboys' Malik Davis: Three carries in Week 12 win
Malik Davis carried the ball three times for 24 yards in Sunday's 24-21 win over the Eagles.The 26-year-old filled the No. 2 role in the Dallas backfield but was a distant second to Javonte Williams (101 total yards on 22 touches) in workload. Davis has taken seven carries for 44 yards over the last two weeks since moving ahead of rookie Jaydon Blue on the depth chart -- an impressive 6.3 yards per carry -- but his fantasy utility is extremely limited as long as Williams is healthy.

Cowboys' Malik Davis: Joins Dallas' active roster
The Dallas Cowboys signed Malik Davis to their active roster off the practice squad Saturday.Davis logged a season-high 19 percent offensive snap share and turned in campaign-high marks with four carries for 20 yards last Sunday against Las Vegas. He reverted back to the Cowboys' practice squad Wednesday, but Dallas has now decided to sign him to the active roster. Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News speculates that Davis will take on the No. 2 RB role behind Javonte Williams, which is how he had been deployed the past two weeks. Jaydon Blue thus seems marked for third in the RB pecking order.

Malik Davis: Signs with Dallas' practice squad
The Cowboys signed Malik Davis to their practice squad Friday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.Davis was not claimed by another team after Dallas waived him Tuesday, and now he's back with the club's practice squad. With Javonte Williams and rookie fifth-rounder Jaydon Blue currently the only healthy running backs on the 53-man roster, Davis again could become a candidate for elevation after the Cowboys' bye in Week 10.

Cowboys' Malik Davis: Active Monday while Blue isn't
Malik Davis is active but fellow RB Jaydon Blue (coach's decision) is inactive for Monday's game against the Cardinals.Davis was signed from the practice squad to the active roster Monday, and now he and Hunter Luepke will be the options at running back behind starter Javonte Williams. Blue lost a fumble during the Dallas Cowboys' Week 8 loss at Denver, so this move appears to be related to performance. In any case, Davis has just two carries for three yards in two previous appearances this season, and he's unlikely to carve too much into Williams' workhorse role Week 9.
