DeuceVaughn

News: 9 hours agoVaughn (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Commanders, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

Spin: Vaughn will be a healthy scratch for the second time in the past three weeks, leaving Rico Dowdle and Ezekiel Elliott to handle the work in Dallas' backfield along with fullback Hunter Luepke. Vaughn has been inefficient as a ball carrier in his limited opportunities this season, gaining just 33 yards on 11 carries while adding 18 yards on three receptions.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Vaughn's rookie season amounted to little production, as the sixth-round draft pick from Kansas State saw precious few touches during the first month of the season, then was a healthy inactive most of the rest of the way. The diminutive Vaughn (5-foot-6, 175 pounds) was expected to handle change-of-pace duties and catch passes, but he ended up with only 30 touches in seven games, including seven receptions. Tony Pollard is gone, but Ezekiel Elliott has returned after a year away and Rico Dowdle is also in the way for meaningful touches. Vaughn has little value.
