The Dallas Cowboys head into the 2024 season with uncertainty at running back. Ezekiel Elliott is listed as the starter but Rico Dowdle is likely to take the lead. The team declined to pursue Derrick Henry, despite his strong performance.

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has expressed confidence in Elliott, claiming he performed better than perceived last season, although opinions on that vary. Comparatively, Elliott's statistics fell short, particularly when measured against Henry's impressive averages.
