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 …
The Dallas Cowboys’ offensive woes aren’t just limited to the field of play. They aren’t faring well in fantasy football either. In 2022, the Cowboys were the top team in the NFL in red zone touchdowns at 71.43%. Six games into 2023 and they rank 26th at 39.13%. Last year Dallas had 28 passing touchdowns and …
Perfect no longer. The Eagles’ run of narrow escapes in 2023 finally came to an end this week. That they were eventually going to lose was never in doubt. That they would lose to the New York Jets was something of a shocker. The Cowboys took full advantage. Dallas’ 20-17 win over the Chargers pulls them …
When it comes to the Dallas Cowboys’ fantasy numbers in Week 5 only one word applies: Forgettable. KaVontae Turpin led the Cowboys in fantasy points for the week. Turpin posted around 13 points depending on scoring formats. And, of course, he got hurt and will miss at least the next month with a high ankle sprain. …
The Philadelphia Eagles are off to a 5-0 start. While I remain unconvinced they are as good as their record, they are 5-0. They are also now two full games ahead of the Dallas Cowboys and three up on the Commanders. The Giants are shrinking away so fast they’ll be officially renamed the Gnats starting next …
The Dallas defense was poised to be the top-scoring defense in fantasy football again in Week 4. The unit topped the NFL in Week 1. Then the Seattle Seahawks said “Hold my beer” on Monday night against the Giants. Still, two defensive touchdowns, a pick-six, two sacks, and holding the opponent to just three points was …
The NFC East nearly ended the fourth week of the NFL season back in a three-way tie for first place. For now Philadelphia sits alone on top. A rare conservative call by Washington Commanders’ Head Coach Ron Rivera allowed the Eagles to escape with a victory. After scoring with no time left on the clock, “Riverboat” …
Well, if you stared any of the Cowboys – with the exception of Tony Pollard and Michael Gallup – you had a bad week. If you had any of the Miami Dolphins’ players on offense, you had a great week. And, if you are like me and played teams with Dolphins’ players on the roster….oof. In …
And then there was one. Coming into the third week of the NFL season, three NFC East teams were undefeated. Now only one remains. The Redskins got stampeded by Buffalo at home Sunday morning. The Cowboys simply didn’t show up to play in Arizona. The Eagles took full advantage by going on the road and beating …
When you’re holding a 70-10 scoring advantage through the first two weeks you’re likely putting up big fantasy points. The Dallas Cowboys are doing just that in 2023. The defense is the scoring leader so far and they are showing no signs of slowing down. Only a grazed knee prevented Micah Parsons from scoring a touchdown, …
Sunday night’s “Massacre In The Meadowlands” was outstanding for the Dallas Cowboys overall. A dominating win in the season-opener over a division rival. No serious injuries. No question marks raised. Couldn’t ask for anything more. But for fantasy football owners with Cowboys on the roster it was a mixed bag. Pollard Leads The Offense The way …
Happy Sunday, Cowboys fans. With the heat of the summer on, myself and others at Inside The Star have covered just about everything up to this point. Something I love just as much as Cowboys football is fantasy football. In just a few short months I will be completing all my mock drafts, and going over …
Throughout the offseason, Cowboys fans have remained occupied with tales of Micah Parsons’ ambition, updates about PCP from Mike McCarthy, and speculation about the potential effectiveness of the “Texas Coast” offense. But what has the rest of the division been up to over the past few months? Cowboys fans may not be “concerned” per se, but …
With their last pick in the 2023 NFL draft, the Dallas Cowboys selected wide receiver Jalen Brooks from South Carolina. The team waited until their last pick two picks in the draft to add a running back, then a wide out. Brooks adds depth to the room, but does not have good speed. He has decent …
The Dallas Cowboys have selected Kansas State running back Deuce Vaughn with the 212th pick in the NFL draft. Standing at 5’5 Vaughn was tremendously productive at Kansas State. Over his final two years with the wildcats he had 2,962 rushing yards, 27 rushing touchdowns, and 846 receiving yards. He was a 2-time 1st-team AP All-American, …
The Dallas Cowboys selected Southern Miss defensive back Eric Scott Jr. with the 178th pick in the NFL draft The Cowboys moved to the top of the sixth round after a trade with the Chiefs to take Scott.

Richards started 38 games at UNC including 34 in a row. He …
The Dallas Cowboys have selected San Jose State edge Viliami Fehoko Jr. with the 129th pick in the NFL draft. Dallas has now used three of their first four picks on defense, he won the Mountain West player of the year a season ago, and had a very solid season. He totaled 69 tackles, 19 of …
The second day of the 2023 NFL Draft was nearly as entertaining as the first day was. It started early in the morning in the form of a flow of salt from part of the Cowboys’ fanbase. They were still out of sorts over the Mazi Smith pick after Buffalo jumped ahead in the draft and …
