Deuce Vaughn

Vaughn was forced into RB2 duties for Week 18 after the Cowboys released Ezekiel Elliott. He saw six carries against the Commanders, inflating his season totals to 17 carries for 70 yards, with three catches for 18 yards. Vaughn never really got going as more than a depth option in the Cowboys' backfield. He finishes his second season in the NFL with minimal fantasy impact, as his size keeps him out of the backfield often, despite some burst plays. Unlikely to find a lead or daily role any time soon, fantasy managers can expect Vaughn to be a strictly depth piece without long-term fantasy considerations.

Tolbert is active and expected to serve as one of Dallas' primary options in the passing game, with CeeDee Lamb (shoulder) ruled out for the season earlier this week. Dallas gets an Eagles team that will be without Kenny Pickett; however, Philly's vaunted defense, coupled with Saquon Barkley should be more than enough to give the Cowboys trouble for much of the afternoon. While Tolbert is active the Cowboys did declare RB Deuce Vaughn, CB Kemon Hall, OG T.J. Bass, OT Matt Waletzko, TE Princeton Fant, DE Tyrus Wheat, and DT Justin Rogers inactive for Week 17 against the Eagles.
