The Cowboys backfield distribution going into 2024 seems like a bit of a mystery.  It has been largely assumed that the return of Ezekiel Elliot along with the lack of a notable weapon added in free agency or the 2024 draft would leave Rico Dowdle and Elliot to handle the backfield touches.  Stephen Jones took to the local airwaves to give us another name to note in journeyman Royce Freeman.  Jones would say they we’re surprised that Freeman was available and plan to use him in the backfield and on special teams.

Freeman has impressed so far in camp and is now a nice stash for dynasty managers.  In redraft Elliot and Dowdle are already late round selections, so it may be best practice to make freeman your last round pick in bestball drafts.
