How will Dalvin Cook impact Dallas Cowboys' backfield? | Fantasy Football Happy Hour | NFL on NBC

okay let's jump to some running back sleepers and late round targets courtesy of our friends at Applebee's who's eating good I'm going to kick us off guys you said his name before Matthew uh well first of all let's read off some other guys who are on the list Blake corm Rico da Ty Chandler Tyler Alia uh key Insurance back if beang goes down Jalil mlin trba hubard who I think is going way too late in draw he's going to be the starting running back until Jonathan Brooks gets back and by the way which may be a competen is offense this season the way that Bry young looked in preseason all the reports out of pan they improve the offensive line too yep Bucky Irving Ray Davis brayan Allen uh and Jordan Mason with the news that Elijah Mitchell is on IR Jordan Mason now the clear Insurance back for Christian mcaffrey and is you know one moment away from being a first round type of running back 100% Bucky Irving having a great Camp he's going to cut he's one of the reasons why I'm down on Rashad white this year uh Rico D again I want to talk very quickly uh news came in uh while we were taping this in terms of uh the Cowboys uh back field but Dalvin cook yeah Dalvin cook is back uh NFL Network and Tom peliso uh reporting four-time Pro Bowl running back dvin cook is signing with the Cowboys per his agency laa cook was waiting for the right opportunity no he's felt it was Dallas a marquee Edition in Big D says peliso I believe he's going to start out on the practice Squad I think um by Marquee Edition I think he means doin cook is a famous name Marque is doing a lot of work there Mar doing a lot of work there I mean it's a he's a marquee he's a big name not a big reality he did he looked done last year you think so I do Lawrence from my trained eye he looked done on the Jets he did yeah he get the opportunity though he ran a couple times in the playoffs against the Texans he I wonder why they didn't yes the Ravens I they should have used them against the Chiefs yeah Lawrence do you think dvin cook will go into the Ravens ring of Ring of Honor do you think they're going to retire his jersey for that one run it was a right 11 yards I'll tell you what obviously it's not going to happen my question but does it does it affect how if you were interested in Ezekiel Elliot or rco dle who are a lot of people are targeting late in drafts because again we expect the Cowboys offense to be pretty good and both guys are sort of cheap volume now like are you suddenly out I don't think anyone's drafting dvin cook but are you suddenly less interested in Rico D or Ezekiel Elliot because now maybe it's a three-headed monster and it becomes a little ugly or you just sort of like ah it's running back depth and I'm not worried about he's just a bigger name than not yeah cuz why are they even signing him I would say like you have to get a third guy at some point and this threatening so I think I think that'll be fun I think they can you don't think d c gonna do nothing I don't think he's I think he'll be the clear third guy all right let's uh let's get I would agree with there I would agree with there last thing real quickly Jalil mlof and I just want to mention this as well led the Denver Bronco in yards per carry and yards uh yards after contact per attempt mlin is somebody a late round Target that I like quite a bit as well again he's going to be we talked about this Broncos one of the teams that lead the NFL in running back Target shair mlin is their clear third down back especially with the release of samaj perine he's no longer on the Broncos yeah in similar Vin I think audri ese is worth a f in deep leagues just because we don't really have clarity about this situation doesn't seem like Shawn pton is enamored of javante Williams maybe the bull case would be that he's the guy with the most pedigree and he'll get the first crack out it but like AUD our friend Conor Rogers adores a I think there's upside there and Lawrence you like justice uh justice Hill from the Ravens somebody's got to be the backup to Derrick Henry Allah you know kind of like how Taj Spears was last year John Harbaugh already said Justice Hill will be a big part of the offense and behind Justice Hill is Rasheen Ali that's the rookie that's the guy I like that he he's he could play that's their three running backs on the roster right now Keat Mitchell on the physically unable to perform list we're waiting for him to come back so until Keat and Mitchell come back I would I like I like justice Hill until Keaton Mitchell comes back I'll say that okay
