Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer said Israel Abanikanda will serve as the team’s RB2 in Week 10 against the 49ers.
Abanikanda will get the practice squad elevation over Kendre Miller, who recently signed with the team after being released by the Saints. Abanikanda has spent part of the last two seasons with the Cowboys and had a solid preseason, rushing for 91 scoreless yards on 22 carries while adding three receptions for 16 yards. We wouldn’t expect Abanikanda to see enough meaningful work to be fantasy relevant this week but he could be worth a stash in deeper leagues as insurance for Javonte Williams.
