Malik Davis News
The Dallas Cowboys released running back Malik Davis on Tuesday as teams cut down to 53-man rosters. Davis came into the preseason as a contender for the No. 2 running back job behind Tony Pollard but has evidently been outplayed by Rico Dowdle and rookie Deuce Vaughn. The Cowboys want to bring Davis back as a member of its practice squad, but he's now firmly off the fantasy radar after a disappointing preseason showing. Dowdle could have sneaky upside as a handcuff running back in 2023.
Dallas Cowboys running back Malik Davis rushed 10 times for 42 yards during Saturday's preseason finale. He also caught three passes for an additional 15 yards through the air. The exact structure of the Cowboys' backfield isn't set in stone, but it's looking like Davis will open the season as the No. 3 running back behind Tony Pollard and Rico Dowdle. He'll still need to perform well when given opportunities because rookie Deuce Vaughn is right on his tail.
With Tennessee Titans rookie quarterback Will Levis (lower body) out for the team's second preseason game on Saturday night against the Minnesota Vikings, Malik Willis will play the entire game. Willis and Levis rotated in the preseason opener last week against the Chicago Bears, with Willis going 16-for-25 for 189 yards and an interception. He also added three carries for 22 yards and a touchdown with his legs and was sacked four times. The 24-year-old second-year signal-caller started over Levis last week, and all indications are that he's ahead of the rookie in the competition for the backup job to starter Ryan Tannehill. If Willis impresses on Saturday against the Vikes, he'll take a big lead over Levis in the backup competition.
