Dallas is on the practice squad and could step into the backfield if Aaron Jones or Jordan Mason gets injured. Christopher Gates notes Jones is aging (not getting any younger) and has shown a propensity for getting banged up despite playing all 17 games last season. Dallas showed flashes as a runner early in his Seattle career and has returner skills. Dave Stefano provides extensive context: Dallas is a 27-year-old, 5-10, 225-pound fourth-round pick (2020) with 84 career games, 124 rushes for 538 yards (4.3 YPC), four TDs, 64 catches for 407 yards, two scores, and 89 kickoff returns at 25.3 yards with a 96-yard TD in Arizona in 2024. His kick-return average is among the best of any active back. Stefano emphasizes Dallas is not a "change-of-pace flyer" but a proven veteran who has played on Sundays when others got hurt.

Dave Stefano provides extensive context on Dallas's value as practice squad depth: 27-year-old, 5-10, 225-pound fourth-round pick (Seattle, 2020) with 84 career games, 124 rushes for 538 yards (4.3 YPC) and four TDs, 64 catches for 407 yards and two scores, and 89 kickoff returns at 25.3 yards with a 96-yard touchdown in Arizona in 2024. Stefano emphasizes Dallas is 'not a secret feature back' but 'a grown man who has already played in this league on Sundays when someone else got hurt,' and notes his kick-return average is still among the best of any active back with punt-return work from Seattle years. Stefano placed him on the practice squad on Sept. 2 instead of leaving him as a taxi squad camp body, suggesting confidence in his ability to contribute if injuries strike.

NegativeRoleSep 2, 2026Daily Norseman
Dallas was a fourth-round pick by Seattle in 2020 and spent four seasons with the Seahawks as a role player, collecting 112 carries for 468 yards and four touchdowns plus 61 receptions for 396 yards and a touchdown. In 2024, he moved to Arizona and was used almost exclusively as a kick returner, recording a 96-yard kickoff return for a touchdown on one of the league's new dynamic kickoffs. In 2025, he appeared in only six games across three games with Carolina and three with Jacksonville before joining the Vikings practice squad.

Jacob Saylors RB2 until the Lions add someone I don’t know if anyone is interested in my prospective list of RB options.. Trade for: Tyrone Tracy (Kafka) Devin Singletary (Kafka) Sign: Michael Carter (off practice squad so has to be on 53 man roster - Petzing) D’Ernest Johnson (Petzing) DeeJay Dallas (Petzing) Eric Gray (Kafka) Jaydon Blue (Choice - also has to be 53 man roster) Kareem Hunt (had a visit with the team already) Then the RBs with no relationship to the staff of course

NegativeDepth ChartAug 22, 2026Yahoo Sports NFL
Dallas had a week that did little to separate him in the backfield depth conversation; following J'Mari Taylor's explosive week against the Saints and Abdullah's dominant Week 2, DeeJay failed to provide the moments that would make his inclusion on the final 53-man roster or practice squad feel secure. He wrapped up Friday's match at 3.4 yards per carry on rushes, but most notably suffered a third-quarter lost fumble. The competition behind Tuten and Rodriguez is genuinely open, and Dallas clearly fell behind in Panthers week.

Dallas has progressed from special teams contributor to low-end offensive contributor with good burst, tackle-breaking ability, and excellent receiving skills; he is endeared to the staff. While Emmanuel Wilson and Ken Walker III will get the bulk of early-season work while Zach Charbonnet recovers (likely not until late October), Dallas is a top waiver wire target and could factor in if either starter gets injured, especially in deep leagues.
