Darren McFadden, Alfred Morris to split regular season carries?

Dallas Cowboys beat writer Todd Archer believes the team could use a by-committee approach to their ground attack while Ezekiel Elliott serves out his six game ban to open the 2017 season. (Todd Archer on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact:

The Cowboys' backfield is in question in the wake of Elliott's suspension. If the ban is upheld -- there is a chance this could be Deflategate 2.0 and he plays a full 16-game slate -- Archer expects the team to split the running back workload between Alfred Morris and presumed starter Daren McFadden. However, McFadden is the Dallas RB I'm targeting in upcoming fantasy drafts as he is the expected handcuff for the troubled Elliott. Expect to reach for McFadden in the early double-digit rounds.
