Dallas Cowboys

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb is one of the top options at wide receiver in a Week 18 game against the Washington Commanders. Lamb is the overall WR2 in fantasy heading into the final game of the regular season, leading the league in catches and coming in second in yards and touchdowns. In a game the Cowboys will want to win to take their division, Lamb is almost sure to have a strong performance against a Commanders secondary that hasn't slowed down too many opponents this season.

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott is one of the top fantasy options in a Week 18 game against the Washington Commanders. Prescott is the overall QB4 in fantasy this season, ranking fourth in passing yards and first in passing touchdowns. The Cowboys need a win to win their division, and the Commanders defense hasn't been stopping much of anything lately. Dak is a top-three option in the regular season's final week.

Four-time Pro Bowl running back Dalvin Cook is expected to sign with the Baltimore Ravens for the playoffs, according to his agency. Cook was released by the New York Jets earlier this week and will now have 2 1/2 weeks to prepare for Baltimore's Divisional Round game. The 28-year-old will be providing extra depth in the backfield behind Gus Edwards, Justice Hill and Melvin Gordon III for the Ravens as they prepare for what they hope will be a deep postseason run. Unless Edwards or Hill are injured either in Week 18 of the regular season or in the playoffs, Cook probably isn't going to make an impact for fantasy managers. Cook didn't have many opportunities with the Jets, but when he did carry the ball he looked washed up, averaging a career-worst 3.2 yards per carry.

Dallas Cowboys running back Rico Dowdle (ankle) got in a limited practice on Wednesday ahead of his team's Week 18 matchup against the Washington Commanders. Dowdle has been nursing an ankle injury for weeks, an issue which forced him to miss Week 17's win over the Detroit Lions. Dowdle's ability to get on the practice field on Wednesday is a promising development, although he will have to make it through the remainder of the week. If active, Dowdle will serve as the backup to Tony Pollard. If Dowdle doesn't play, the Cowboys would probably have to make a practice squad move as Deuce Vaughn (ankle) landed on injured reserve earlier in the week with an ankle injury of his own.

The Dallas Cowboys placed rookie running back Deuce Vaughn (ankle) on Injured Reserve on Wednesday and activated defensive lineman Viliami Fehoko (knee) from Injured Reserve in a corresponding move. Vaughn's move to IR is a sign that Rico Dowdle (ankle) should be OK to play in the Week 18 regular season finale against the Washington Commanders on Sunday after he sat out last week's win over the Detroit Lions on Saturday. The 22-year-old Vaughn was the talk of training camp over the summer, but he never really found a meaningful role with Tony Pollard and Dowdle in front of him in his rookie season. He finishes his first year in the NFL with 23 carries for 40 yards and seven catches for an additional 40 yards through the air. With Vaughn now out heading into the playoffs, Malik Davis will serve as the team's No. 3 RB.
