Dallas Cowboys DVOA, Stats, & NFL Rankings

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Brandin Cooks is a touchdown-dependent option in a Week 18 game against the Washington Commanders. Cooks has had some touchdown luck lately, scoring in three of his past five games, but not piling up much yardage outside of those touchdown catches. He's been a boom-or-bust play most of the season with the booms not getting too high, making him a WR3 for this regular season finale, albeit with some more upside than most in that rank.

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.

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.
