Dallas Cowboys DVOA, Stats, & NFL Rankings

Dallas Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones said on 105.3 The Fan on Monday that it's "a little more of a long shot" for tight end Jake Ferguson (concussion) to play in Week 13 on Thursday on Thanksgiving against the division-rival New York Giants. Ferguson suffered a concussion in the Week 11 loss to the Houston Texans last Monday night and was unable to play in the upset win over the division-rival Washington Commanders in Week 12. With a short turnaround this week, Ferguson is unlikely to be able to clear the league's concussion protocol, meaning he'll probably be inactive for a second straight game. Backup Luke Schoonmaker played 65% of the offensive snaps on Sunday without Ferguson and caught three passes for 55 yards and a touchdown. Schoonmaker is setting up to be a TE2 streamer for the second straight week on Turkey Day against the G-Men.

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver/return specialist KaVontae Turpin made one of the plays of the day with his speedy 99-yard kick return late in the game against Washington. The score put Dallas up 27-17 with under three minutes to go, although they nearly lost late. Turpin totaled 179 return yards on the day and also caught a pass for eight yards on his lone target. He is off the fantasy radar in most formats, but is an intriguing dart throw in formats that utilize return yardage.

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Jalen Tolbert recorded a touchdown in the third quarter of the exciting 34-26 win over the Washington Commanders. Tolbert was targeted four times, catching two passes for 22 yards and the touchdown. He was fifth on the team in receiving on a day where quarterback Cooper Rush spread the ball around. Tolbert will remain a touchdown-dependent flex option going forward, although the return of Brandin Cooks (knee) could further muddy his usage.

Dallas Cowboys tight end Luke Schoonmaker grabbed a late 22-yard touchdown reception in the thrilling 34-26 win over the Washington Commanders, his first of the season. The second-year tight end played well in place of Jake Ferguson (concussion), recording three catches for 55 yards on four targets. The Michigan product may start again if Ferguson can't go on a short week against the New York Giants on Thanksgiving.

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb paced the team in receiving in the 34-26 win over Washington on Sunday. Lamb was targeted 12 times, catching 10 passes for 67 yards while also rushing once for a yard. The star receiver remains a high-end WR2 with Cooper Rush under center as the team prepares for the New York Giants on a short Thanksgiving week.
