The Cowboys are taking a flier on Michael here, as he hasn't proven much during his time in Seattle. A big back, Michael could see a few goal-line opportunities with the Cowboys. He will likely begin his Dallas career backing up both Joseph Randle and Darren McFadden.

The Seahawks didn't trust Michael to be the top backup to Marshawn Lynch after Robert Turbin went down with an ankle injury, so they signed veteran Fred Jackson and moved Michael to Dallas. The draft pick they received in this transaction is likely considered a bonus.

Michael's fantasy value is slightly better as a Cowboy than as a Seahawk, while Randle and McFadden take a slight hit here (though not too much). Jackson's fantasy value could be significantly better in Seattle without Michael around.
