Cowboys fans hoped the team’s focus this week would be on preparations for the NFC championship game. Instead, the team’s attention has turned towards the offseason as they continue to build for the future. Four teams remain in contention for the Super Bowl, so the other 28 teams are already looking ahead to the 2024 NFL …
If you had CeeDee Lamb on your roster in your league championship game, congratulations. In all likelihood his 56 points carried you to the title. If it didn’t? Ouch, the rest of your lineup needs to hang its head in shame. Lamb’s big night pushed him to the top-scoring receiver in fantasy football and 11th-highest overall …
I’m sure I wasn’t the only person on the brink of being rushed off to the emergency room Saturday night. The Dallas Cowboys escaped – and no, there is no other term to use here – with a 20-19 win over Detroit. The Lions had three shots to win. Somehow, Dallas dodged all three bullets. Lions’ …
CeeDee Lamb and Dak Prescott were the only two Cowboys to crack into double-digits in last week’s loss to the Dolphins. Lamb led all of Dallas’ players with a 29.95 effort, despite disappearing for a significant portion of the game. Prescott finished with 28.05. Their efforts came up just short of providing a win for Dallas. …
The Cowboys could have put an end to the “they can’t beat winning teams on the road” narrative on Sunday. They could have put a lot of pressure on the Eagles going into their Monday matchup with the Giants. But they did neither. Dallas let the Dolphins off the hook, losing 22-20 on a last-second field …
When a team loses a game 31-10 its pretty much a given that they didn’t exactly light it up in fantasy football. If you were relying on some, or even all, of that team’s players you had a bad week too. Which is exactly what happened this week if you had any Cowboys on your fantasy …
As the Cowboys have charged their way back to the top of the NFC East – and into the running for a first-round bye – one other ownership group has also benefited. Fantasy football owners with Cowboys’ players on their rosters are also on the move. Several Cowboys have moved into the Top 10 in fantasy …
Dak Prescott and CeeDee Lamb put on a show in fantasy football leagues this week. Prescott ranked eighth-highest among offensive players for the week. Lamb had the 15th-highest total. Prescott posted an impressive 39 points as he continues his torrid pace of the last seven games. Prescott is averaging 39 points a week during this run. …
The Cowboys’ 41-35 win on Thursday was crucial in many aspects. It was their 14th straight home win. They are also guaranteed a winning season for the third straight year. The Cowboys last did that between the 2016-18 season after not having done it since a five-year run from 2005-09. They are all but certain to …
The Cowboys remained a juggernaut in fantasy football last week, feasting on the Commanders on Thanksgiving Day. Dak Prescott led the charge with an impressive 42.75 points in standard PPR scoring formats. Only Josh Allen’s 48.40 was higher among all other players in the NFL for the week. Prescott now has 331.65 points for the season, …
Since coming up short in Philadelphia in the first game of the month, the Dallas Cowboys have taken care of business. Dallas has won three in a row since that loss by a combined score of 127-37. The wins were against teams they should have beaten soundly. Unfortunately, the Eagles have matched the Cowboys win-for-win. The …
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 …
The Cowboys broke open a close game in the span of 10 seconds on Sunday. The Eagles survived their Super Bowl rematch with the Chiefs on Monday night. Combined, both Dallas and Philadelphia are putting a lot of distance between themselves and their NFC East rivals. The Eagles’ 21-17 win keeps them two games ahead of …
Three of the top scorers in fantasy football for the 10th week of the season played for the Dallas Cowboys. Dak Prescott topped all NFL players with 56.5 points – based on a standard PPR league scoring system. Prescott is averaging over 41 points over the last four weeks. CeeDee Lamb was third-highest with 46.1 and …
The Cowboys’ 32-point blowout win over the Giants – along with the Eagles off and the Commanders losing in Seattle – was the best possible outcome in Week 10. Dallas (6-3) moved to within two games of the idle Eagles (8-1) with the win. They now have a 2.5-game cushion over Washington (4-6). The Giants are …
In real life, the Cowboys 28-23 loss to the Eagles was disappointing. But fantasy football owners with Cowboys on their rosters had a solid week. So, if KaVontae Turpin is still available on your waiver wire it’s time to pick him up. Maybe even Jalen Tolbert too. He is starting to make an impact on special …
The Eagles held on for dear life on Sunday and now enjoy a 2.5-game lead in the NFC East over Dallas. The Commanders are 3.5 games back and the fading Giants are six full games behind pace. Philadelphia still has a tough schedule ahead. But they can now afford a couple of losses over the second …
If you were a fantasy owner with one member of the Cowboys on your roster last week you probably were happy. If you had two or more, then you likely won your matchup going away. Dallas put up a monster number on the board against Rams on Sunday. Several of their players were following suit on …
Admit it, if you’re an old geezer like me your heart skipped a beat when the Cowboys took the home field in their blue jerseys. Those jerseys used to be the kiss of death for Dallas. So it was a bit of a surprise to see the team wearing them at home on Sunday. Usually bad …
Since the Cowboys were on a bye last week there aren’t any numbers to post for Week 7 of fantasy football. So why not compare where the 2023 Cowboys are in relation to the 2022 team at this point of the season? Using my league’s PPR scoring system as a guide, with six games played in …
Having their bye last Sunday, the Cowboys knew they were gaining ground on at least one NFC East rival. They were hoping to gain ground on two. Unfortunately, the Eagles had other ideas. Dallas will return to action 1.5 games back of Philadelphia but 1.5 games ahead of Washington. It wasn’t the result they’d hoped for …
