2024 Player Outlook

Dowdle served as the backup to Tony Pollard last year though he did see double-digit carries in blowout wins over the Giants and the Eagles. With a great class of free agent running backs that saw guys like Saquon Barkley, Josh Jacobs, Derrick Henry, Joe Mixon, Zack Moss, D'Andre Swift, and Aaron Jones all change teams, Dowdle dodged a bullet to some degree. The Cowboys were rumored to be in on drafting a running back but that didn't happen either so, unless they can swing a trade, Dowdle will be competing with the likes of Zeke Elliott, Royce Freeman, Deuce Vaughn, and Malik Davis for touches. That might be worth a stab to see how things shake out.
