Cooper Rush's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Cooper Rush had one of his strongest performances of the season on Sunday night in the win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Rush completed 26-of-35 passes for 292 yards and a touchdown, leaning on star receiver CeeDee Lamb for big plays in the narrow victory. The 31-year-old has a tough matchup against Philadelphia on tap for Week 17.

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Cooper Rush completed 26 of 35 pass attempts for 292 yards, one touchdown, and zero interceptions during Sunday's Week 16 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He took just one sack in the effort. All in all, this was a solid showing for Rush. While fantasy managers would have liked to see him pad his stats with one more touchdown, it's tough to complain about nearly 300 yards and turnover-free football. The 31-year-old signal-caller helped fantasy managers in a huge way on Sunday night, but his path gets much tougher next week against a Philadelphia Eagles secondary that has been one of the NFL's best this year.

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Cooper Rush is set up with a friendly matchup on Sunday Night Football against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 16 as he looks for a second straight strong performance. Rush had one of his better performances of the year in last week's win over the Carolina Panthers, throwing for 214 yards and a season-high three touchdowns in the 30-14 win. He'll now take on a Buccaneers defense that is tied with the bad Cincinnati Bengals defense for the second-most fantasy points allowed to opposing signal-callers. They've allowed 23 touchdown passes on the year with only seven interceptions, and they've also surrendered the fourth-most passing yards overall. The 31-year-old veteran backup's ceiling obviously isn't a high one, but Rush has the potential to be a very serviceable QB2 in superflex leagues in a primetime game at home on Sunday evening.

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Cooper Rush had a solid showing in the 30-14 win over the Carolina Panthers. Rush only turned the ball over once on a lost fumble and tossed three touchdowns. He completed 18-of-29 passes for 214 yards, helping the Cowboys notch their sixth win of the season. Rush will be back in action in another solid matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday night for Week 16, likely landing in QB2 range again.

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Cooper Rush is coming off of a shaky performance against Cincinnati. The career backup is in low QB2 range this week against a Carolina Panthers' defense that has slowly improved since an atrocious start to the season. Even so, it is still one of the league's worst defensive units. With that being said, Rush showed last week that he cannot be trusted even in the softest of matchups. With a further beaten up offensive line, Rush should not be started this week.
