Dallas Cowboys quarterback Cooper Rush (illness) is officially active for Sunday's playoff game against the Green Bay Packers. He had been listed as questionable after missing practice on Friday. Rush has only played sparingly in garbage-time situations this year, completing 75 percent of his passes for 144 yards, zero touchdowns, and one interception. He'll remain in the backup role behind Dak Prescott this weekend.
Baltimore Ravens running backs Gus Edwards, Justice Hill and Melvin Gordon III weren't explosive to end the regular season, combining to average 4.0 yards per carry over the last seven games. Edwards also fumbled in his last two games, and Gordon fumbled for the 19th time in his career in Week 18. It all means that the recently signed Dalvin Cook could have a chance to go from the practice squad to making an impact in the playoffs. "We view him as a potentially very valuable weapon on our offense," head coach John Harbaugh said. "Dalvin Cook is a high-pedigree player [and] a highly decorated player." The 28-year-old now has two weeks to learn Baltimore's offense, although his production with the Jets -- career-low 67 carries for 214 yards and no touchdowns -- doesn't make it seem likely that he'll be able to help the Ravens' backfield woes all that much in the playoffs.
Dallas Cowboys kicker Brandon Aubrey will be among the top choices for fantasy kickers on Wild Card Weekend when the Cowboys take on the Green Bay Packers. Aubrey had an outstanding regular season, making 36 of his 38 field goal attempts along with 49 extra points. In what should be a high-scoring offensive matchup, Aubrey has significant upside for the first round of the playoffs.
Dallas Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson is a solid option in fantasy for a matchup against the Green Bay Packers on Wild Card Weekend. Ferguson developed into a legitimate fantasy asset this season, showing a high floor and occasional ceiling as well. He was a fantasy TE1 in nine games, finishing up with a TE9 performance in Week 18 after a pair of disappointing games the two weeks prior. He should maintain a high floor in the playoffs and has some touchdown upside in the first round.
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Brandin Cooks is a touchdown-dependent fantasy option in a Wild Card Weekend matchup against the Green Bay Packers. Cooks has carved out some fantasy value this season, but he rarely sees high volume and usually needs a touchdown to put up a relevant fantasy score. In the regular season, Cooks scored a touchdown in eight games and was at least a fantasy WR2 in seven of them. In games where he did not score, his best performance was an overall WR49 game in Week 11. This week's matchup should be a high-scoring game, so there's a decent chance Cooks scores, but he comes with a very low floor so there's quite a bit of risk involved in having him in any lineups.
