Milton's dual-threat outing in Dallas' 31-13 preseason win over Atlanta sparks backup QB chatter as rosters loom. He ran for a touchdown and connected for another score, showing mobility and quick decision-making that could influence Cowboys’ 53-man decisions behind Dak Prescott.

Deuce Vaughn and James Houston provided a late-pitch audition for depth roles, underscoring the Cowboys' need for reliable multipliers on offense and special teams. The Falcons game served as a final audition for multiple bubble players as coaches trim the roster.

Fantasy takeaway: Milton's status as Prescott's backup hinges on this performance. Vaughn's burst keeps him in the fold for meaningful touches, while Houston's disruptive potential adds another layer to the depth chart as final cuts approach.
