Dallas Cowboys QB Dak Prescott said he expects to use play-action more often under head coach Brian Schottenheimer. "I've always enjoyed play-action pass, so just being able to get back to that," Prescott said. "But you've got to start with the run game, and when you have that, the rest of the offense can open up."
Huddle Up: Although Schottenheimer's offensive philosophy could provide Prescott with more opportunities to make plays down the field, it sounds like it will mean a more run-heavy approach overall. Prescott should probably be viewed as a solid QB2.

Dallas Cowboys QB Dak Prescott (hamstring) noted that "my health is good" and he is "looking to amp (his recovery from a torn hamstring) up" during a news conference promoting a fashion show on Tuesday, Feb. 11.
Huddle Up: Prescott is 12 weeks into his rehab and appears to be quite confident he will be 100% sooner than later. While he stated during the news conference he is excited to have new head coach Brian Schottenheimer take over, fantasy managers should be skeptical - at least as it pertains to Prescott reaching the heights he once did under former head coach Mike McCarthy. He should be valued as a decent QB2 option in most drafts this spring and summer.

Dallas Cowboys QB Cooper Rush had a league-high 17 passes batted by a defender at or behind the line of scrimmage in 2024, according to Pro Football Reference.
Huddle Up: It is an unthinkable stat that a quarterback who barely saw the field before November could "achieve" this feat, but Rush pulled it off on 308 pass attempts. What's more is that Rush only had nine bats on 233 attempts over his previous three seasons combined. Assuming the impending free agent is back with Dallas in 2025, Rush will hold no fantasy value unless Dak Prescott misses significant time again.

Dallas Cowboys TE Jake Ferguson posted two receptions for 12 yards on four targets in Week 18 against the Washington Commanders.
Huddle Up: Ferguson ended up with 59 receptions for 494 yards on 86 targets across 14 games, but he failed to find the end zone in 2024. He has some TE1 fantasy potential, but he needs to be more visible in the red zone. Heading into 2025, he should be drafted as a TE2, but he has TE1 ability.
Posted 1/06/2025 1:31 am GMT
Dallas Cowboys WR Jalen Tolbert ended up with four receptions for a career-high 98 yards on six targets in Week 18 against the Washington Commanders.
Huddle Up: Tolbert saw his three-game touchdown streak snapped, but the yardage total was nice. He finished the 2024 season with 49 receptions for 610 yards and seven touchdowns on 79 targets. Heading into 2025, if he wins the WR2 job behind CeeDee Lamb, Tolbert could be a useful fantasy receiver in most leagues, especially QB Dak Prescott back.

Dallas Cowboys RB Rico Dowdle ended up with 22 rushes for 72 yards and a touchdown in Week 18 against the Washington Commanders, while adding two receptions for 12 yards on three targets.
Huddle Up: Dowdle emerged as a respectable starting tailback for the Cowboys, although it remains to be seen if the organization sees him as a starter in 2025. The team could potentially look for an upgrade at the position. If he enters as the starter in 2025, he could be a solid low-end RB2 or flex fantasy option in leagues of 12 or more teams.
Posted 1/06/2025 1:12 am GMT
Dallas Cowboys QB Trey Lance completed 20-of-34 passes for 244 yards, no touchdowns and no interceptions in Week 18 against the Washington Commanders, while he ran six times for 26 yards.
Huddle Up: Lance accounted for zero touchdowns, and it doesn't look like he did enough to unseat Cooper Rush as the backup quarterback going forward. Lance has some amazing physical tools, but it doesn't look like his game is good enough to make him an NFL starter in 2025 or beyond.
Posted 1/05/2025 5:07 pm GMT
Dallas Cowboys QB Trey Lance will be the starting quarterback for the Cowboys in Week 18, according to a source.
Huddle Up: Lance has not received much playing time since joining the NFL, so the Cowboys want to take a look at him in a regular season game. He probably should be avoided in fantasy leagues.

Dallas Cowboys WR Jalen Tolbert (finger) practiced in full for the third straight day on Friday, Jan. 3, and carries no designation for Week 18.
Huddle Up: Tolbert has scored in three straight games but also has just 61 receiving yards in that span. He's a touchdown-dependent flex play, at best, in Week 18.
Posted 1/02/2025 9:58 pm GMT
Dallas Cowboys WR Jalen Tolbert (finger) fully participated in practice Thursday, Jan. 2.
Huddle Up: Tolbert had been held to 30 yards or less in eight of his last nine games but does have a touchdown in each of his last three games. He could be a possible flex option in some deeper leagues this week.
Posted 1/02/2025 9:51 pm GMT
Dallas Cowboys WR Jalen Brooks (knee) fully participated in practice Thursday, Jan. 2.
Huddle Up: Brooks has caught at least two passes in only one game this season and should be avoided in all fantasy leagues even with CeeDee Lamb out for the season.
Posted 1/01/2025 9:46 pm GMT
Dallas Cowboys WR Jalen Tolbert (finger) fully participated in practice Wednesday, Jan. 1. The Cowboys did not hold a practice Wednesday, so this is an estimation.
Huddle Up: Tolbert has caught a touchdown in each of the last three games but has been to 30 yards or less in each of those games. He probably will see a few targets this week and could be a possible flex option in some deeper leagues.
Posted 1/01/2025 9:38 pm GMT
Dallas Cowboys WR Jalen Brooks (knee) fully participated in practice Wednesday, Jan. 1. The Cowboys did not hold a practice Wednesday, so this is an estimation.
Huddle Up: Brooks was only targeted one time in the last game even though the team was without CeeDee Lamb. He probably will only see a few targets this week and can be avoided in fantasy leagues.

Dallas Cowboys WR Jalen Tolbert caught three of his four targets for 30 yards and a touchdown in a 41-7 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 17.
Huddle Up: Tolbert has actually scored in three straight games, but he has just six total receptions in that stretch. Despite the touchdown streak, Tolbert doesn't have a big enough role to trust as a fantasy option.
Posted 12/29/2024 9:22 pm GMT
Dallas Cowboys WR Brandin Cooks finished with four receptions on eight targets for a team-high 52 yards in a 41-7 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 17.
Huddle Up: With CeeDee Lamb sidelined, Cooks led the Cowboys in receptions, targets and yards. Cooks should have a similar role in the finale with Lamb already ruled out, but he would still be no more than a flex option.
Posted 12/29/2024 9:13 pm GMT
Dallas Cowboys QB Cooper Rush completed 15 of his 28 pass attempts for 147 yards, a touchdown and two interceptions in a 41-7 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 17.
Huddle Up: Fortunately for Rush, he won't have to face Philadelphia again this season. In two starts against the Eagles, he has managed 192 total passing yards.
Posted 12/29/2024 5:22 pm GMT
Dallas Cowboys WR Jalen Tolbert (finger) is active for Week 17's game versus the Philadelphia Eagles.
Huddle Up: Tolbert had been listed as questionable on the injury report after being a limited participant in all three of the Cowboys' practice sessions during the week. He should see multiple targets this afternoon and can be viewed as a potential flex option in deeper fantasy leagues.
Posted 12/29/2024 5:16 pm GMT
Dallas Cowboys WR Jalen Brooks (knee) is active for Week 17's game versus the Philadelphia Eagles.
Huddle Up: Brooks had been listed as questionable on the injury report after logging a pair of limited practice sessions during the week. Although he should see more targets with WR CeeDee Lamb (shoulder) sidelined for the rest of the season, Brooks can be ignored in most fantasy formats.
Posted 12/28/2024 7:38 pm GMT
Dallas Cowboys WR CeeDee Lamb (shoulder) was placed on injured reserve on Saturday, Dec. 28.
Huddle Up: This will end Lamb's disappointing season, but his lackluster numbers were hardly his fault, as Dak Prescott's struggles and injury certainly impacted him. Jalen Tolbert and Brandin Cooks will be the top options in Dallas' passing attack over the final two games but neither is a suggested lineup option.
Posted 12/28/2024 3:39 am GMT
Dallas Cowboys QB Cooper Rush faces the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 17, and in two career starts against Philadelphia, Rush is averaging 113 passing yards and has one touchdown compared to three interceptions.
Huddle Up: Rush has actually had some decent outings since taking over for Dak Prescott, but a Week 10 meeting with the Eagles was by far his ugliest performance. Even if you are desperate for a QB2, this isn't the matchup to try to stream Rush.
Posted 12/27/2024 9:23 pm GMT
Dallas Cowboys WR Jalen Tolbert (finger) was limited during practice Friday, Dec. 27, and is listed as questionable for Week 17.
Huddle Up: Tolbert should see a few more targets in the passing game this week if he is cleared to play. He has caught a touchdown in each of his last two games and could be a possible flex option in deeper leagues if he is active.
Posted 12/27/2024 9:20 pm GMT
Dallas Cowboys WR Jalen Brooks (knee) was limited during practice Friday, Dec. 27, and is listed as questionable for Week 17.
Huddle Up: Brooks could be more involved in the passing game if he plays since CeeDee Lamb is not available. He probably can be avoided in most fantasy leagues even if he is able to play.
Posted 12/26/2024 11:45 pm GMT
Dallas Cowboys WR Jalen Tolbert (finger) was limited during practice Thursday, Dec. 26.
Huddle Up: Tolbert probably will more targets in the last two game since CeeDee Lamb has been ruled out. He has caught a touchdown in three of his last five games and could be a possible flex option in deeper leagues.
Posted 12/26/2024 11:20 pm GMT
Dallas Cowboys WR Jalen Brooks (knee) was limited during practice Thursday, Dec. 26.
Huddle Up: Brooks is in line for a bigger role in the passing game with CeeDee Lamb out of the season as long as is cleared to play in Week 17. He has posted at least 40 yards in only one game this season and probably is only a possible flex option in some deeper leagues.
Posted 12/26/2024 9:30 pm GMT
Dallas Cowboys WR CeeDee Lamb (shoulder) will miss the final two games of the regular season because tests on his shoulder have shown that the injury has worsened. He is not expected to need surgery to repair the injury.
Huddle Up: Lamb has been playing with the injury, but the team does not want it to become a more serious issue down the road. The Cowboys likely will go with Brandin Cooks, Jalen Tolbert and Jalen Brooks as their main receivers, but none of them are more than possible flex options in deeper leagues.
Posted 12/25/2024 9:51 pm GMT
Dallas Cowboys WR CeeDee Lamb (shoulder) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Dec. 25. The Cowboys did not hold a practice Wednesday, so this is an estimation.
Huddle Up: Lamb probably will return to practice later in the week and should be available for the Week 17 game. He has shown a good connection with Cooper Rush and should be a starting option in all fantasy leagues.
Posted 12/23/2024 5:55 am GMT
Dallas Cowboys WR Jalen Tolbert caught two of his three targets for 20 yards and a touchdown in Week 16 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Huddle Up: Tolbert has not recorded more than two catches in six straight outings, but he has made the most of his limited opportunities by scoring three times over that span. Despite that run of good luck, it makes him the very definition of a touchdown-or-bust fantasy option. Managers should be able to do better with their flex spot heading into their league's championship game next week.
Posted 12/23/2024 5:47 am GMT
Dallas Cowboys WR Ryan Flournoy hauled in all of his targets for 41 yards in Week 16 versus the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Huddle Up: The catch and yardage marks were a season high for the rookie. Flournoy's production was likely more the product of CeeDee Lamb missing significant time in the second half and Jalen Brooks being made inactive before the game. At any rate, it is encouraging to see the 25-year-old sixth-round pick make some plays when his number was called. It seems unlikely he will be given much of a chance to top those marks again until next year, however.
Posted 12/23/2024 5:40 am GMT
Dallas Cowboys TE Jake Ferguson caught six of his nine targets for 40 yards in Week 16 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Huddle Up: The aforementioned marks were his highest in each category in over a month. Nothing about this effort screams must-start for Week 17 against the Philadelphia Eagles, but it is at least encouraging to see Ferguson as active as in this game as he was on a regular basis last season. Consider him a high-end TE2 against the Eagles.
