Cowboys Defense Likely To Struggle Again In Week 9

The Dallas Cowboys Defense was actually good (in fantasy, at least) in Week 8 against the Eagles, but that seems highly unlikely to be the case in Week 9 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. While they were able to force four turnovers from Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz in Week 8, the Steelers will almost certainly be […]

Greg Zuerlein Not A Great Week 9 Choice

Dallas Cowboys kicker Greg Zuerlein is not a strong kicking option in Week 9 fantasy lineups. Zuerlein did well in Week 8, nailing three field goals including one from 59 yards out, but with the Cowboys expected to struggle even more at moving the ball against the undefeated Pittsburgh Steelers, Zuerlein may not get those […]

Dalton Schultz Faces A Tough Matchup In Week 9

Dallas Cowboys tight end Dalton Schultz faces a tough matchup against the undefeated Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 9. Besides all of the struggles of a Cowboys offense that will now turn to their fourth starting quarterback of the season, the Steelers Defense also limits opposing tight ends very well. Schultz could still see more than […]

Cedrick Wilson Not A Week 9 Starting Option

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Cedrick Wilson is not a recommended fantasy starter in any Week 9 fantasy lineups. Wilson has his occasional huge weeks, but they are almost always unpredictable. With either Cooper Rush or Garrett Gilbert making the start at quarterback in Week 9 against the undefeated Pittsburgh Steelers, this certainly does not have […]

Michael Gallup Unlikely To Repeat His Week 8 Performance

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Michael Gallup unexpectedly led the team in receiving in Week 8, catching seven passes for 61 yards on a dozen targets. He'd been a low-volume field stretcher for most of the season, but rookie quarterback Ben DiNucci targeted him more than anyone else on the Cowboys offense. With DiNucci benched after […]

CeeDee Lamb Facing Another Rough Game In Week 9

Dallas Cowboys rookie wide receiver CeeDee Lamb has had two straight disappointing weeks, totaling just 27 receiving yards combined. He was looking like an every-week WR1 with Dak Prescott in the lineup, but has struggled with Andy Dalton and Ben DiNucci. This week, against the undefeated Pittsburgh Steelers, the Cowboys will start either Cooper Rush […]

Amari Cooper No Longer In The WR1 Ranks

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Amari Cooper can no longer be considered a member of the WR1 ranks in any fantasy format. Cooper caught only one pass last week, gaining just five yards. With the Cowboys quarterback position now looking to start its fourth or fifth string guy, Cooper will settle in as a WR3 with […]

Tony Pollard Unlikely To See Increased Role In Week 9

Dallas Cowboys running back Tony Pollard will likely continue in his change-of-pace role in Week 9 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Pollard has been getting a few more touches lately, but he's still working clearly behind starter Ezekiel Elliott. Pollard was the more efficient runner last week, running the ball seven times for 40 yards, but […]

Ezekiel Elliott Could Struggle Again In Week 9

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott might be fighting an uphill battle against the Steelers in Week 9 without quarterback Andy Dalton for the second straight week. The Cowboys are taking on the undefeated Pittsburgh Steelers and will have either Cooper Rush or Garrett Gilbert under center, ensuring stacked boxes against the running game. Elliott […]

Ben DiNucci Benched Ahead Of Week 9

Dallas Cowboys rookie quarterback Ben DiNucci has been benched ahead of the Week 9 game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. DiNucci was predictably atrocious in leading the Cowboys offense in Week 8. While Andy Dalton (concussion, COVID) was originally expected back for Week 9, he has already been declared out. That leaves the Cowboys with a […]

Eagles Defense Does Well In Week 8

The Philadelphia Eagles Defense played well as expected against a Ben DiNucci-led Dallas Cowboys team in Week 8. The Eagles Defense allowed just nine points (on three field goals) and added four sacks. While they did not come down with an interception, they did force and recover two fumbles, including one strip sack that turned […]

Jake Elliott Makes An Extra Point And Nothing Else

Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott made his lone extra point attempt in a Week 8 win, and was not on the field for anything else. The Eagles did not attempt any field goals, and only attempted an extra point on one of their touchdowns, opting to go for two otherwise. It was a one-point performance […]

John Hightower Comes Up Empty In Week 8

Philadelphia Eagles rookie wide receiver John Hightower came up empty on the stat sheet in Week 8, failing to record a catch on three targets. Hightower is developing into a boom-or-bust low volume deep threat who has had far more busts and is still waiting for a huge boom. With Carson Wentz struggling to throw […]

Greg Ward Makes Three Catches In Week 8

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Greg Ward made three catches in a Week 8 win over the Dallas Cowboys, gaining 10 yards. He was targeted five times and also recorded a carry for two yards on the ground on a play that looked like he was getting ready to make a throw. Ward only made short […]

Dallas Goedert Makes One Catch In His Week 8 Return

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert, returning from an ankle injury, was only targeted once in a Week 8 win, catching the one target for a 15 yard gain. Goedert hadn't played since he was forced to leave early in Week 3, and he may not have been fully healthy in this one. He'll have […]

Jalen Reagor Catches His First NFL Touchdown In Week 8

Philadelphia Eagles rookie wide receiver Jalen Reagor returned to the field and caught his first NFL touchdown in a Week 8 win over the Dallas Cowboys. In total, Reagor caught three passes on six targets, gaining 16 yards. His touchdown came on a two-yard pass from Carson Wentz in the first quarter. Reagor hadn't played […]

Travis Fulgham Keeps It Going In Week 8

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Travis Fulgham kept his hot streak going in a Week 8 win over the Dallas Cowboys. Fulgham caught six passes on seven targets, gaining 78 yards and scoring a touchdown. Fulgham led the team in targets, catches, and yards again in this one. He's quickly become quarterback Carson Wentz's favorite target […]

Cowboys Defense Has Their Best Game Of The Season

The Dallas Cowboys Defense had their best game of the season in a Week 8 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. The Cowboys defense allowed 15 points, recorded four sacks, two interceptions, and two fumble recoveries. In standard scoring, it was good for 13 fantasy points, impressive when considering their total heading into Week 8 was […]

Greg Zuerlein Makes Three Field Goals In Week 8

Dallas Cowboys kicker Greg Zuerlein did all of the scoring for the Cowboys in Week 8, making three field goals in a 23-9 loss to the Eagles. Zuerlein made three of his four field goal attempts in this one, making kicks from 49, 49, and 59 yards. His miss came from 52 yards. It was […]

Cedrick Wilson Loses 11 Yards In Week 8

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Cedrick Wilson was targeted twice in a Week 8 loss to the Eagles but was unable to come up with either pass. He was given two carries in the running game, losing 11 yards total. So, Wilson's final line was zero catches, two carries, negative 11 yards. It was a rough […]

Amari Cooper Makes Just One Catch In Week 8

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Amari Cooper only made one catch in a Week 8 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. He was targeted five times, but was only able to come down with one, gaining just five yards. Cooper struggled along with the entire Cowboys passing game with seventh-round rookie Ben DiNucci getting his first career […]

CeeDee Lamb Makes Four Grabs In Week 8

Dallas Cowboys rookie wide receiver CeeDee Lamb made four catches on his five targets in a Week 8 loss, gaining 27 yards. He added one play on the ground, running for 19 yards. Lamb and the entire Cowboys passing game struggled with rookie Ben DiNucci in at quarterback filling in for the injured Andy Dalton […]

Dalton Schultz Records Six Catches In Week 8

Dallas Cowboys tight end Dalton Schultz was targeted eight times in Week 8, catching six passes for 53 yards. Schultz was second on the team in targets, catches, and yards, as rookie quarterback Ben DiNucci made short throws all night long. Schultz has been a solid performer at a shallow position all season, but after […]

Michael Gallup Leads The Cowboys In All Receiving Stats

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Michael Gallup led the Cowboys in all receiving stats in a Week 8 loss to the Eagles. Gallup saw a team-high 12 targets, catching seven for 61 yards. The second-highest targeted player on the Cowboys saw eight balls thrown his way. Gallup operated as a low-volume deep threat with Dak Prescott […]

Corey Clement Gets Five Carries In Week 8

Philadelphia Eagles running back Corey Clement ran the ball five times in a Week 8 win, gaining 24 yards and adding a four yard reception on two targets. Clement got a little more involved this week, but his six touches were still well behind Boston Scott's 17. With Miles Sanders (knee) expected to be back […]

Boston Scott Runs The Ball 15 Times In Week 8

Philadelphia Eagles running back Boston Scott ran the ball 15 times in a Week 8 win, gaining 70 yards. He was targeted twice in the passing game, adding two catches for another nine yards. Scott was likely making his last start, as Miles Sanders (knee) is expected back after the Week 9 bye for the […]

Tony Pollard Gets Nine Touches In Week 8 Loss

Dallas Cowboys running back Tony Pollard ran the ball seven times for 40 yards and added two catches on two targets for 24 yards. Pollard fell well behind starter Ezekiel Elliott's 21 touches, but came close to his 73 total yards. Pollard looked like the more effective running back in the box score, but the […]

Ezekiel Elliott Doesn't Find Running Room In Week 8

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott couldn't find much running room in a Week 8 loss to the Eagles. Elliott faced stacked boxes almost all night, ultimately running the ball 19 times for 63 scoreless yards. He was only targeted twice in the passing game, catching one ball for 10 yards. With rookie Ben DiNucci […]

Carson Wentz Struggles His Way To A Week 8 Win

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz wasn't great in Week 8, but he was good enough to beat the Cowboys and fall backwards into first place in the NFC East. Wentz completed 15 of his 27 passes for 123 yards and two touchdowns. He threw two interceptions and lost two fumbles in an ugly four turnover […]

Ben DiNucci Struggles As Expected In Week 8

Dallas Cowboys rookie quarterback Ben DiNucci struggled in a loss to the Eagles in Week 8. Filling in for Andy Dalton (concussion), who was filling in for Dak Prescott (ankle), DiNucci completed 21 of his 40 pass attempts for 180 scoreless yards. He did not throw an interception, but he did lose two fumbles, one […]
