A total of 13 Cowboys found the fantasy football scoring column in Dallas’ 33-10 win over Carolina on Sunday.
The Cowboys’ defense – led by DaRon Bland’s fourth Pick Six of the year – led the scoring barrage.
Dak Prescott topped the offensive attack. Tony Pollard and CeeDee Lamb were the other Cowboys to crack double-digits using standard PPR scoring.
Luke Schoonmaker doubled his season totals with Sunday’s effort and Brandon Aubrey rounded out the top six scorers for Dallas.
Getting Defensive
The Cowboys defensive unit put up 34 points on Sunday, a number topped only by one-tenth of a point by Buffalo for the week.
In addition to Bland’s Pick Six, the Cowboys recovered a fumble and had seven sacks. They also held the Panthers to 10 points and under 190 yards.
Micah Parson had a solid fantasy day with six tackles and 2.5 sacks.
Markquese Bell topped the tackling stat sheet with 10.
The unit is the top-scoring defense in fantasy football through 11 weeks.
Offense Coasts In Carolina
The offense didn’t exactly light it up on Sunday. But they did enough to win the game.
They likely did enough to help a few fantasy owners win too.
Jacksonville quarterback Trevor Lawrence was the top fantasy scorer among all players with 41.15 points. Prescott finished 15th among quarterbacks with 24.45.
Prescott remains eighth overall among the quarterbacks for the year with 288.90 points.
Once Lamar Jackson and Sam Howell serve their bye weeks, he will move even further up.
Saquon Barkley led the running backs in Week 11 with 28.60 points. But he got most of those points for his receiving work.
Pollard’s 18 points put him 10th for the week. Pollard is 20th overall for the year among running backs.
Lamb’s recent run ended with a pedestrian 14.30 points on Sunday. Tyreek Hill topped the receivers with 37.90.
Hill is the top receiver in fantasy overall and widened his lead thanks to A.J. Brown’s 1.50 night on Monday.
Brown is second at 247.15 with Keenan Allen third at 247.05. Lamb is now fourth at 243.30 for the season.
Schoonmaker’s 9.75 points was good enough for seventh for the week among tight ends.
Brandon Aubrey’s eight points tied him for 10th for the week. Aubrey is third overall for the season among kickers.
My FFL Week
As if I don’t have reason enough to hate the Eagles…
Philadelphia’s second-half comeback against the Chiefs on Monday night fueled an epic come-from-ahead loss for the Pigskin Fiction.
Up 25 at half with the Chiefs defense, victory seemed assured. The defense collapsed, and my opponent had Jalen Hurst and Devonta Smith.
It’s been that kind of year for my 2-11 team.
It hasn’t been much better for the Grim Reapers who fell to 3-8. When your WR2 gets tossed from the game early you’re in bad shape.
The lone bright spot remains Scribe’s Penmen.
A few weeks back a devastating double-header loss seemed to seal their fate. But they’ve battled back to within a half-game of first in the division.
With three games left, the Penman control their own destiny.
Win all three and no matter what the other teams do, the division title is mine.
This team is the top-scoring team in the league. But it sits at 6-7 because it has had the most points scored against it.
At 1,511 points scored against 1,836 points scored against it’s a minor miracle the playoffs are even in play.
May your stretch run for the playoffs be successful.
