Erik Beimfohr advised steering clear of the entire Dallas backfield—headlined by Ezekiel Elliott—because the front office seems determined to prove running backs are replaceable by signing the absolute worst options available. Elliott ranked dead last in rush yards over expected per carry last season, while fellow veteran Miles Sanders flamed out on his last free-agent deal. Dallas then paired the duo with Day-3 satellite back Jaden Blue instead of investing in a prospect with actual juice such as Tahj Brooks. Beimfohr mocked the approach, saying the Cowboys have confused 'cheap' with 'non-functional,' and sees no path to league-winning upside in a committee composed of declining vets and undersized rookies. He is fading Elliott in all formats and reallocating those mid-round picks to higher-upside receivers or quarterbacks.
