Cooper Rush DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

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 quarterback Cooper Rush played well on Sunday in the thrilling 34-26 win over the Washington Commanders. Rush completed 24-of-32 passes for 247 yards and two scores while scrambling four times for a yard in his first win of the season under center for Dallas. Rush will be in QB2 range off a short week heading into Thursday's Thanksgiving matchup with the New York Giants.

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Cooper Rush has struggled to get the offense moving in his two starts, leaving the door open for quarterback Trey Lance to potentially get some playing time in the coming weeks. Rush did throw for 354 yards on 55 pass attempts last week given the nature of the game, but most of his fantasy production came in garbage time. If Dallas is blown out again like they are projected to be, Rush may cede those late-game snaps to Lance. Rush also may be without his top two pass-catchers, with CeeDee Lamb (back, foot) missing Thursday's practice and Jake Ferguson (concussion) trending towards missing. Dallas takes on Washington on Sunday and even though it is a solid matchup for opposing quarterbacks, Rush should be avoided.

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said on 105.3 The Fan that quarterback Cooper Rush gives the team the best chance to win with Dak Prescott (hamstring) out for the rest of the year. Head coach Mike McCarthy said he regrets not giving Trey Lance some run late in the blowout loss to the Houston Texans on Monday night, but apparently the Cowboys still believe that Rush is the better starting option heading into the Week 12 divisional clash against the Washington Commanders. However, if Dallas is down big again in the second half this Sunday, we'd expect Lance to enter the game and handle at least a few offensive series to get him some work. Rush threw for only 45 yards in Week 10 but went for 354 passing yards against Houston. Washington's secondary is vulnerable, but Rush will be nothing more than a low-end QB2 in superflex leagues in his third start.

Dallas Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy said that quarterback Cooper Rush will once again be the starter for the Week 12 matchup with the division-rival Washington Commanders on Sunday. However, there will be a package of plays for backup Trey Lance. The Cowboys have been blown out in back-to-back games in the two games that Rush has started, and McCarthy admitted himself that he regrets not getting Lance into the game late in the Monday night loss to the Houston Texans. Rush did throw for over 300 yards with a touchdown and interception in the loss to Houston on Monday, but there's a good chance Lance could be making starts under center for the Cowboys by season's end now that Dak Prescott (hamstring) is out for the year. Rush will be no better than a low-end QB2 in superflex leagues this Sunday against Washington.
