Dallas Cowboys running back Tony Pollard did well in Week 9, running the ball nine times for 57 yards and catching a pass for one more yard on two targets.

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott came into the Week 9 game expected to be limited, but he ended up seeing 20 touches. He was quite unremarkable though, running the ball 18 times for 51 yards and catching two passes on three targets for 18 more yards. Elliott received twice as many carries as his […]
David A Marcillo 4 years agoGarrett Gilbert Does Okay In Week 9
Dallas Cowboys quarterback Garrett Gilbert fared decently in Week 9 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Gilbert, serving as the fourth starting quarterback for the Cowboys in 2020, completed 21 of his 38 passes for 243 yards. He threw one touchdown and one interception, adding three runs for 28 yards on the ground. Gilbert was able to […]

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 […]
David A Marcillo 4 years agoGreg 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 […]

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 […]
David A Marcillo 4 years agoCedrick 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 […]
David A Marcillo 4 years agoMichael 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 […]

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 […]
David A Marcillo 4 years agoAmari 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 […]
David A Marcillo 4 years agoTony 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 […]
David A Marcillo 4 years agoEzekiel 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 […]
David A Marcillo 4 years agoBen 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 […]
David A Marcillo 4 years agoEagles 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 […]

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.

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
