Tyler Goodson is seriously earning a larger role on the Cowboys offense. While a kickoff return touchdown was called back due to penalty, the source notes that every time Goodson touches the ball he does so with extreme tenacity and is making the most of those touches. With KaVontae Turpin out due to injury, the Cowboys should consider Goodson as an alternative option going forward.PositiveRoleOct 27, 2026
Goodson has filled in nicely as backup running back in the absence of the All-Pro kick returner recovering from a rib injury; he showed good explosiveness and has slowly put himself into the conversation as a useful tool for the team on offense or special teams, though his return touchdown was nullified by a holding penalty.PositiveRoleOct 27, 2026

Goodson benefited from Dallas' dominant run blocking, which produced the team's best rushing performance of the season with 200+ rushing yards on 65 plays, zero tackles for loss, and very little pressure in the passing game. The Cowboys' offensive line consistently created movement and gave Williams and Goodson lanes to exploit against an Eagles defensive front capable of causing problems. Goodson also appeared to break a kickoff return for a touchdown, but a holding penalty on Justin Barron negated the score.NegativeProjectionOct 22, 2026

In the last two weeks, Goodson has had just three carries and zero attempts in the loss to Tampa Bay. The source notes the offense has relied too much on Javonte Williams to be both the power and speed back, and Goodson has done everything to show he's earned more carries in the role carved out for Malik Davis. Against Green Bay's pass defense (fourth-best in EPA per pass play, 19th in EPA per rush), Dallas must run the ball well, and Goodson should see more work in the screen game and explosive runs.PositiveRoleOct 13, 2026
