Yahoo Sports NFL on Phil Mafah

Mafah could surprise onto 53-man roster if Cowboys want downhill runner depth.

Mike identifies Mafah as a surprise name who could make the 53-man roster if Dallas decides the run game needs depth and variety; Mafah brings a downhill, physical runner profile different from the rest of the room, has not looked out of place when given chances, and could provide short-yardage ability and insurance behind Javonte Williams. However, Jess and Sean both predict Mafah will be practice squad bound, suggesting he doesn't do anything remarkably better than Williams or Davis in the ground-and-pound game or Blue in the pass game.
