STACKED’s take

Positive signalRole

Mafah earning RB2 reps early in camp signals potential for increased role in 2026.

The second-year draft pick is competing for the RB2 role and has impressed in early training camp, getting RB2 carries on both day one and day two of practice, including a notable off-tackle run. Mafah is competing with Jaydon Blue for the backup role behind Williams, with the Cowboys looking to distribute the remaining 30% of backfield carries among their depth options.
