Cowboys vs. Jaguars NFL Preseason DFS Picks
Dallas Cowboys Targets
Malik Davis (RB – DAL)
The first Cowboys depth chart was released, and one thing to note is that Malik Davis was listed third behind Rico Dowdle. Dowdle appeared in five games last year but hasn’t recorded a carry since 2020, while Davis had 38 for 161 yards last season in 12 games. I like Davis to use this as ammo, and we should see plenty of touches early on to establish his role as the backup to Tony Pollard.
Deuce Vaughn (RB – DAL)
Continuing with the Cowboys’ running backs, a dark horse pick I like is Vaughn. At 5’6″, he can stay low to the ground, and he has a quick burst that makes him almost impossible to take him down. He should get playing time later in the game and could show off.
Jacksonville Jaguars Targets
Tank Bigsby (RB – JAC)
The Jaguars rookie has been showing off in camp, with coaches and fans impressed early on. What kind of role he’ll have remains to be seen, but this game will be an early indication. Head coach Doug Peterson has indicated that his starters will play, so we should also see Travis Etienne but don’t be surprised if Bigsby gets most of the work.
