Dallas Cowboys DVOA, Stats, & NFL Rankings

Dallas Cowboys wide receivers CeeDee Lamb (back, foot) and Brandin Cooks (knee) were both listed as limited on the team's estimated practice report on Tuesday. It was an estimation after Dallas held another walkthrough on Tuesday. Lamb was active in the Week 12 win over the division-rival Washington Commanders and was busy, catching 10 passes for 67 yards on 12 targets. The ceiling is lower for the 25-year-old now that quarterback Dak Prescott (hamstring) is out for the year, but Lamb remains a must-start in fantasy lineups for the Thanksgiving game against the division-rival New York Giants on Thursday. He had a 7-98-1 line against them on Sept. 26. Cooks must be activated from Injured Reserve to play on Thursday. The 31-year-old veteran hasn't played since Sept. 26 and won't be a recommended fantasy play if he returns against the G-Men on Turkey Day.

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Cooper Rush (knee) is expected to play on Thanksgiving despite being limited in practice the last two days. Rush was injured in the Cowboys' Week 12 win over the Washington Commanders. However, the words of encouragement regarding his status for Week 13 against the New York Giants is excellent for fantasy managers rostering wide receiver CeeDee Lamb and tight end Luke Schoonmaker. Rush has been mostly solid since he took over as the Cowboys' starting quarterback in Week 10. He had a disastrous outing in Week 10, but he has thrown for at least 247 yards in each of his two games since then. Rush has always provided a solid fantasy floor for skill position players in Dallas' offense when he has been called upon to start in place of Dak Prescott (hamstring). Hopefully, Rush's injury will not limit him in Week 13 and he will be able to continue providing fantasy managers with the value they seek from Lamb and Schoonmaker.

Dallas Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson (concussion) was a DNP at practice on Tuesday. With only one more day to ramp up participation ahead of the Cowboys' Thanksgiving tilt against the New York Giants, things do not look good for Ferguson's chances to play. Ferguson has been solid when healthy in 2024. However, injuries have limited him to nine games played and 369 receiving yards. Ferguson has also not found the end zone in 2024. Ferguson's backup, Luke Schoonmaker, has been excellent over the past couple of weeks with Ferguson out. Schoonmaker has recorded nine catches for 111 yards and a touchdown in the past two games combined. The Giants are excellent against tight ends in fantasy. Even so, quarterback Cooper Rush has displayed a propensity to throw to his tight ends. It looks like Schoonmaker will receive another chance to run the show in Week 13 and is a solid play for Ferguson managers who added him off waivers.

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Cooper Rush (knee) is on the team's Week 13 injury report and was listed as limited on Monday's estimated injury report. "He's got some work to do, but I think we're gonna be fine," head coach Mike McCarthy said. Rush appears to be a little banged up after a hard-fought upset win over the division-rival Washington Commanders on Sunday, but he should be ready to go by Thursday for the Thanksgiving contest against the division-rival New York Giants. The 31-year-old was awful in his first start in the Week 10 loss to the Eagles, throwing for just 45 yards. But he's been better the last two weeks, going a combined 56-for-87 (64.4%) for 601 yards, three TDs and one interception against the Texans and Commanders. If he's active, Rush will have some upside as a QB2 in Week 13 against the Giants.

Dallas Cowboys wide receivers CeeDee Lamb (back, foot) and Brandin Cooks (knee) were both listed as limited on the team's estimated practice report on Monday. Lamb played through multiple injuries in the Week 12 win over the division-rival Washington Commanders and caught 10 passes for 67 yards on 12 targets. He may not practice much on a short week, but we'd be surprised if he's not available as a WR1 for fantasy managers for Thursday's annual Thanksgiving came this year against the division-rival New York Giants. According to executive vice president Stephen Jones, Cooks has a good chance to play on Thursday against the G-Men for the first time since being placed on Injured Reserve on Oct. 5. It will be a boost for Dallas' offense, but fantasy managers shouldn't be expecting much for Cooks, who will likely be an inconsistent deep threat with quarterback Cooper Rush running the offense.
