Dallas Cowboys running back Rico Dowdle probably would have seen a lot more work if Sunday's blowout loss to the Green Bay Packers occurred in the regular season, but he only saw four touches (two carries, two catches) for 25 scrimmage yards in the 48-32 wild-card loss. It was a disappointing finish for Dowdle and the Cowboys after they secured the NFC East title and the No. 2 seed for the postseason, but it nevertheless ended in another quick playoff exit. Dowdle had 100 scrimmage yards in the Week 18 regular season finale and had by far the best year of his career in his third season with Dallas, rushing for 361 yards and two touchdowns on 89 carries in 16 regular season games. He also had 17 catches for 144 yards and two more TDs. The 25-year-old will be a free agent this March and could land in a situation that gives him more access to playing time if he can stay healthy.
Dallas Cowboys kicker Brandon Aubrey made his only field goal and one of his two extra point tries in a Wild Card Weekend loss to the Green Bay Packers. Aubrey had an excellent first NFL season, becoming one of the most reliable kickers in both fantasy and in real life. In this final Cowboys game of the season, Aubrey made a 34-yard field goal and one of his two extra point tries. He's likely to be one of the top kickers drafted in most fantasy leagues next season.
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Brandin Cooks made six catches in a Wild Card Weekend loss to the Green Bay Packers. Cooks was targeted eight times, making six catches for 47 scoreless yards. Cooks had a very up-and-down season, as the Cowboys offense mostly ran through CeeDee Lamb and Jake Ferguson. Offseason moves will play a huge role on what Cooks' fantasy value will be in 2024, although he's likely to fall into another boom-or-bust situation no matter what.
Dallas Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson scored three times in a Wild Card Weekend loss to the Green Bay Packers. Ferguson was targeted 12 times, making 10 catches for 93 yards and scoring three times. His touchdowns came from 1, 7, and 14 yards out, but it wasn't enough for the Cowboys to make it past the first week of the playoffs. Ferguson turned into a high-floor TE1 this season, and barring unexpected changes on the Dallas offense, he should once again fill that role next season.
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb gained over 100 yards again in a playoff loss to the Green Bay Packers. Lamb was targeted 17 times in the game, making nine catches for 110 yards, including a long gain of 47 yards. It was a rare game where Lamb did not catch a touchdown, but he was once again able to make it over 100 yards. Lamb was consistently a top-five option at his position this season and should be right up there in those ranks next season as one of the first players drafted in almost all formats.
