Rest-of-Season Outlook and Availability

Outlook

The 2026 setup does nothing to change that math. He sits behind Jonathan Taylor with a role projected to stay minimal, an ECR around 456 overall and an RB rank near 119, and he is rostered in roughly zero leagues. A groin issue has trended the right way, but there is no realistic standalone value here. Next on the depth chart after him: Emari Demercado. Full outlook

Our Take After Week 4

Through 1 game he's RB84 at 2.7 PPR points per game, against 0.6 over 9 games last season (RB116). He's running ahead of last season's pace.

Last season he ranked 88th of 95 in rushing volume (0.9 carries per game), 82nd of 95 in receiving role (0.3 targets per game) and 89th of 95 in efficiency (1.11 yards after contact per carry). Efficiency is the soft spot. Dak Prescott is his quarterback.

He's RB2 on the depth chart, so his value depends on the players ahead of him.

The next favorable matchup is the Packers in Week 6 (2nd against RBs).

Read our preseason outlook (June 2026)

Published June 16, 2026. Kept for reference; the take above replaces it.

Goodson's profile screams emergency depth, not draftable asset. In 2025 he logged just 10 games on a 5% snap share, turning nine carries into 24 yards at 2.67 per rush with a brutal -0.327 EPA per play and only 3.2 fantasy points. Even his stronger 2024 line, 153 rushing yards on 4.78 a pop with a positive 0.085 EPA across 14 games, came with a 12.6% snap rate and a 3% target share, the ceiling of a clear backup.

The 2026 setup does nothing to change that math. He sits behind Jonathan Taylor with a role projected to stay minimal, an ECR around 456 overall and an RB rank near 119, and he is rostered in roughly zero leagues. A groin issue has trended the right way, but there is no realistic standalone value here. Goodson is purely a contingency stash, only relevant if the workhorse ahead of him misses extended time.
