Bold Predictions for Week 12 - 2024 College Football

Based on the way this column has gone over the past few weeks, it would be wise to take every prediction that I have laid out here and create a parlay that is betting the exact opposite of all three outcomes. These bold predictions have not been shaking out cleanly, but I have a good […]

College Football Risers and Fallers After Week 11 - 2024 College Football

Week 11 was one of the wildest weeks yet as the season’s final month of play kicked off. The noon slate started with a wild Georgia Tech upset over Miami paired with dominant performances from two of the nation’s best in Ohio State and Texas. Indiana toppled Michigan in the midday slate while Georgia sputtered, […]

Jalen Tolbert Posts Week 10 Dud

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Jalen Tolbert struggled along with the rest of the offense in the 34-6 loss to Philadelphia. The third-year receiver was targeted five times, catching three receptions for 14 yards. Tolbert has fallen off of the fantasy radar with quarterback Dak Prescott (hamstring) likely done for the year, as Cooper Rush and […]

Jake Ferguson Leads Team With 24 Receiving Yards

Dallas Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson paced the team in receiving in the 34-6 blowout loss against Philadelphia on Sunday. Ferguson caught four passes for a team-high 24 yards in what was an abysmal showing from the Dallas offense. His fantasy ceiling has taken a hit with quarterback Dak Prescott (hamstring) likely done for the […]

CeeDee Lamb Posts Poor Fantasy Outing In Blowout Loss

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb saw a team-high 10 targets on Sunday in the 34-6 loss to Philadelphia. Lamb caught six of those passes, but only gained 21 yards. He also rushed once for a three yard gain. The Cowboys' star receiver's fantasy stock has taken a clear hit with quarterback Dak Prescott (hamstring) […]

Ezekiel Elliott Gains 22 Yards In Return

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott only touched the ball six times in the blowout loss to Philadelphia on Sunday. Elliott was returning from a one-game internal suspension related to team conduct. He gained 22 yards on the ground and was not targeted in the passing game. Elliott remains off the fantasy radar as a […]

Rico Dowdle Paces Team In Rushing In Blowout Loss

Dallas Cowboys running back Rico Dowdle was the clear-cut lead back on Sunday in what was an abysmal offensive showing. Dowdle carried the ball 12 times for 53 yards and caught all three targets for just three yards. He ripped off a 19-yard run, good for the longest Dallas offensive play of the game. Dowdle […]

Trey Lance Sees First NFL Action In Dallas Uniform

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Trey Lance stepped into the game late on Sunday, replacing a struggling Cooper Rush in what turned out to be a 34-6 blowout. The former third-overall pick struggled to get the offense going but did provide a bit more of a pop than Rush. Lance completed 4-of-6 passes for 21 yards and […]

Cooper Rush Struggles In Blowout Loss

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Cooper Rush had a poor outing in his first 2024 start as the Cowboys fell 34-6 to the Philadelphia Eagles. Rush completed 13-of-23 passes for just 45 yards, losing two fumbles in the game. He scrambled twice for two yards as well. Rush was pulled late in the game for Trey Lance, […]

Cowboys Defense Still Beaten Up, Faces Tough Week 10 Matchup

The Dallas Cowboys defense has severely underperformed in 2024 with many key players missing time due to injuries. Heading into a Week 10 matchup with a surging Philadelphia Eagles offense, it appears that Micah Parsons (ankle) may return after logging limited practices on Wednesday and Thursday. Even with Parsons back in the lineup, this unit […]

Brandon Aubrey Faces Tough Matchup In Week 10

Dallas Cowboys kicker Brandon Aubrey has slowed down fantasy-wise after his hot start to the season as the offense has sputtered in recent weeks. Aubrey faces a tough matchup in Week 10 against a strong Eagles' defense. With quarterback Cooper Rush under center, the offense may take another step back and field goal opportunities could […]

Jake Ferguson Sees Fantasy Stock Decrease In Week 10

Dallas Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson is no longer a surefire top-10 ranked tight end on a weekly basis with quarterback Dak Prescott (hamstring) set to miss at least four games. Ferguson has yet to score a touchdown in 2024 and while he should serve as backup quarterback Cooper Rush's security blanket, his upside takes […]

Jalen Tolbert Offers Little Fantasy Appeal In Week 10

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Jalen Tolbert scored a touchdown in last week's loss, connecting with backup quarterback Cooper Rush late in the game. Week 10's matchup with the Philadelphia Eagles is not an easy one, with wide receivers scoring the 11th-fewest fantasy points per game against Philadelphia's secondary. CeeDee Lamb (shoulder) has been a limited […]

Ezekiel Elliott Expected To Be Active Sunday

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott was held out of the Week 9 loss due to disciplinary reasons, but the veteran is expected back in the lineup for Week 10's matchup with the Philadelphia Eagles. Elliott is completely off the fantasy radar after ceding the lead-back role to Rico Dowdle. Furthermore, Philadelphia's defense ranks third […]

Rico Dowdle Grades As High-End RB3 In Week 10

Dallas Cowboys running back Rico Dowdle has captured the lead role in the backfield over the past few weeks, but the offense may lose some efficiency with quarterback Dak Prescott (hamstring) set to miss at least the next four games. Dowdle should see significant volume coming off of an RB1 finish a week ago, but […]

Cooper Rush Set To Make First Start Of 2025

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Cooper Rush has been thrust into the starting role with Dak Prescott (hamstring) headed to injured reserve. The 30-year-old career backup has played well in place of Prescott in the past, but Sunday's matchup against a stingy Philadelphia secondary is not the spot to trust him in. Rush grades as a high-end […]

Bold Predictions for Week 11 - 2024 College Football

Another week, another missed opportunity to take a victory lap. My Week 10 bold predictions were all duds. Jeremiah Smith only had 55 yards in the nail-biting Ohio State win, Arkansas got throttled 63-31, and Tennessee only scored 28 points in a game that was too close for comfort. That’s why we call them bold […]

College Football Risers and Fallers After Week 10 - 2024 College Football

Week 10 was yet again another thrilling slate of college football. Headlined by Ohio State’s big road win at Penn State, contenders rose to the occasion in some spots and fell short in others. Along with Penn State losing, Iowa State suffered its first loss at the hands of Texas Tech. Clemson also suffered its […]

Jalen Tolbert Scores Late Touchdown In Loss

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Jalen Tolbert hauled in a touchdown reception from backup quarterback Cooper Rush late in the game on Sunday. Dallas wound up falling 27-21 to the Atlanta Falcons despite the fourth-quarter touchdown. Tolbert was targeted six times, but only hauled in three receptions for 19 yards along with the score. If CeeDee […]

Jake Ferguson Paces Team In Receiving In Week 9

Dallas Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson led the way through the air on Sunday in the 27-21 loss to Atlanta. Ferguson was targeted 10 times, securing seven receptions for 71 yards. The performance was Ferguson's second-highest receiving yardage total of the season. The third-year tight end still has not found the end zone in the […]

Rico Dowdle Puts Up 107 Scrimmage Yards In Loss

Dallas Cowboys running back Rico Dowdle was productive in the 27-21 loss to the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday. The 26-year-old saw most of the running back work with Ezekiel Elliott (healthy scratch) missing the game due to disciplinary reasons. Dowdle rushed 12 times for 75 yards while also securing five receptions for 32 yards and […]

Cooper Rush Throws Touchdown In Relief Of Injured Prescott

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Cooper Rush entered Sunday's game in the fourth quarter after Dak Prescott (hamstring) left with an injury and did not return. The longtime Cowboys' backup looked solid in the comeback attempt, completing 13-of-25 passes for 115 yards and a touchdown pass to Jalen Tolbert. It is unclear whether Prescott will miss any […]

Bold Predictions for Week 10 College Football - Freshman Phenom Goes Off, SEC Upset Eliminates Playoff Contender, and more

Week 9’s bold predictions were, let’s face it, a little too bold. Syracuse most definitely did not hand Pitt its first loss, Michigan State was close but did not upset Michigan, and UCF was nowhere near toppling the still-perfect BYU Cougars.  Week 10’s slate has upset week written all over it. There are a plethora […]

College Football Risers and Fallers After Week 9 - 2024 College Football

Week 9 of college football has come to a close, and most teams have just four regular-season games remaining before we hit conference championship week. Favorites rolled this week and while many top-level teams were tested, there were no surprising losses across the board. In the noon slate, Ohio State narrowly dodged Nebraska, Notre Dame […]

Jake Ferguson Operates As Security Blanket In Loss

Dallas Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson worked in the short field on Sunday night in the loss to San Francisco. The 25-year-old averaged just 3.8 yards per reception despite being targeted eight times. He caught six passes for 23 yards, failing to make much of an impact in the box score. The receptions were encouraging […]

Jalen Tolbert Catches All Three Targets In Loss

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Jalen Tolbert was targeted three times in the comeback loss against San Francisco on Sunday night. Tolbert caught all three targets for 44 yards, making minimal fantasy impact. With CeeDee Lamb (45%) taking a massive target share, Tolbert will likely remain a touchdown-dependent deep flex option going forward.

CeeDee Lamb Explodes Late In Comeback Attempt

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb finally put together the performance that fantasy managers have been waiting for. The fifth-year receiver was targeted 17 times on Sunday night in the loss to San Francisco. He caught 13 passes for 146 yards and two touchdowns with both scores coming late in the fourth quarter. The outing […]

Dalvin Cook Handles Seven Touches In Dallas Debut

Dallas Cowboys running back Dalvin Cook was elevated from the practice squad on Sunday night with Rico Dowdle (illness) missing the game as a late scratch. The veteran rushed six times for 12 yards and added a ten-yard reception, totaling 22 yards in his Dallas debut. He is not currently in the fantasy picture, especially […]

Ezekiel Elliott Scores Second Touchdown Of 2024

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott drew the start on Sunday night with Rico Dowdle (illness) being a late scratch. The veteran led the rushing attack with 10 carries for 34 yards and a touchdown. He added a reception for four yards in what turned out to be his best fantasy outing since Week 1. […]

Dak Prescott Strings Together Decent Fantasy Outing In Comeback Attempt

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott struggled for most of the night on Sunday against San Francisco. It wasn't until halfway through the fourth quarter when Prescott and the Cowboys' offense came to life, pushing too little too late. Prescott's two touchdowns both came with under eight minutes remaining in the game. He finished the night […]
