Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb (ankle) did not practice on Wednesday, according to Patrik Walker. However, this injury is not viewed as a serious concern and the star wideout is on track to start in their Week 3 matchup against the Baltimore Ravens. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor the Dallas practice report in case the 25-year-old has a further setback. After catching five passes for 61 yards in the season opener, Lamb enjoyed an excellent game on Sunday as he tallied 90 yards and a score against the New Orleans Saints. Lamb should be locked into all starting lineups and viewed as a high-end WR1 for the remainder of the season.
Dallas Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson (knee) was seen at practice today and participated in a limited capacity. This is a great sign for the 25-year-old who missed last week's game due to an MCL sprain. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor Ferguson's status heading into the weekend, but this is a promising sign that the Wisconsin product could return to the field on Sunday. In the season opener, Ferguson caught only three of his five targets for a mere 15 yards. However, he was a focal point of the Dallas offense last season and should be started in all standard leagues if he suits up. If Ferguson misses Sunday's game, Luke Schoonmaker will once again slot in as the No.1 tight end in Dallas and could be a solid TE2 given the six targets he saw in Week 2.
Dallas Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson (knee) is back at practice on Wednesday following his Week 2 absence against the New Orleans Saints due to a knee injury. The third-year pro suffered the injury in Week 1 against the Cleveland Browns and did not practice at all last week. Backup tight end Luke Schoonmaker impressed in his spot-start, catching all six of his targets for 43 yards. However, Ferguson should regain his status as the lead tight end when he's back in action, which could be this Sunday against the Baltimore Ravens. Baltimore has allowed the fourth-most fantasy points to tight ends so far this season, so Ferguson will have clear TE1 upside if he's active.
When asked if Dallas Cowboys running back Dalvin Cook will be called upon to boost the running game in Week 3 versus the Baltimore Ravens, owner Jerry Jones said on 105.3 The Fan, "I don't necessarily see a change that would involve Cook this week." Cook was signed late in training camp to give the Cowboys more running back depth behind Ezekiel Elliott, Rico Dowdle and Deuce Vaughn. The 29-year-old is currently on the practice squad and will likely have to wait at least another week before Dallas considers adding him to the 53-man active roster. Cook says he's much healthier than he was last year, when he averaged a career-worst 3.2 yards per carry on 67 rushing attempts for the New York Jets in 15 games, but as of right now, he doesn't offer much of an upgrade to what the Cowboys already have in their backfield.
Dallas Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones said on 105.3 The Fan on Monday that tight end Jake Ferguson (knee) was "real close" to playing in the Week 2 blowout loss to the New Orleans Saints. "The expectation is for him to be back" in Week 3 against the Baltimore Ravens. Ferguson suffered an MCL sprain and a bone bruise in his left knee in the Week 1 win over the Cleveland Browns but was not cleared to play against the Saints. The 25-year-old should be considered day-to-day heading into this week, and we should have a better idea of his availability for this weekend when the Cowboys start practicing later this week. Luke Schoonmaker caught all six of his targets for 43 yards in the 44-19 drubbing by the Saints, but he's probably not worth much attention on the waiver wire with Ferguson having a shot to return soon. When healthy, Ferguson is on the TE1 radar in fantasy.
