Dallas Cowboys • RB

A

A 2024 fifth-round pick, Abanikanda has six regular-season appearances and 29 career touches -- all back in 2023 for the Jets. He offers sub-4.5 speed at 215-plus pounds, but he won't necessarily have the same role as Goodson, who earned the team's trust with solid performances after latching on earlier this fall. With Abanikanda as the No. 2 back, Javonte Williams may be tasked with even larger workloads than before.
