Cowboys WR Brandin Cooks (knee) was limited in practice all week and is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Commanders. We’ll see if Dallas activates him from IR for his first game since Week 4, but Cooks is not a recommended fantasy play in any format.
Cowboys TE Jake Ferguson (concussion) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Commanders. That leaves Luke Schoonmaker as Dallas’ likely lead TE. He tallied 6 catches for 43 yards when Ferguson missed Week 2 and caught 6 of 10 targets last week after Ferguson exited in the first quarter. You could do worse if you’re desperate at TE this week.
Cowboys WR CeeDee Lamb (back, foot) is not listed on the final injury report for this weekend’s game vs. the Commanders. After sitting out on Thursday, he returned to a full practice on Thursday. We’re expecting him to play his usual role on Sunday. It hasn’t necessarily been pretty, but Lamb has totaled 22 targets and 14 catches with QB Cooper Rush over the last two weeks.
Cowboys WR CeeDee Lamb (back, foot) did not practice on Thursday. That followed a limited workout on Wednesday. Lamb played through the back issue vs. Houston on Monday night, but the foot is new. We'll look for more info on his status and see how he's listed on Friday's final injury report.
Cowboys TE Jake Ferguson (concussion) did not practice on Wednesday. With just six days to clear protocol, he's a long shot to play vs. the Commanders this weekend. That'll leave TE duties to Luke Schoonmaker and Brevyn Spann-Ford. Schoonmaker racked up six catches on 10 targets in the Week 11 loss to Houston but ran just four more routes than Spann-Ford. We'd try to avoid the situation in Week 12 fantasy lineups.
Cowboys WR Brandin Cooks (knee) has been designated to return from IR. He'll practice this week and is eligible to play against the Commanders on Sunday. Cooks was sitting 71st among WRs in PPR points with QB Dak Prescott through Week 4. It's tough to expect better with QB Cooper Rush (or QB Trey Lance). Cooks can be left on fantasy waiver wires.
Cowboys WR CeeDee Lamb was targeted 12 times against the Texans. He caught eight passes for 93 yards, but couldn’t find the end zone with QB Cooper Rush at the helm.
Cowboys TE Jake Ferguson left Monday night's game against the Texans in the first quarter and has entered the concussion protocol. It's the second diagnosed concussion of Ferguson's NFL career. The last came in December of 2022. We'll see how he fares with a shorter turnaround to next Sunday's game at Washington. You should start the week planning to not have Ferguson in Week 12.
Cowboys WR CeeDee Lamb (back) is active for tonight's game vs. the Texans. He was added to the injury report on Saturday and listed as questionable, but there never seemed to be much concern about his availability for this one. QB play remains a bigger concern than the back for Lamb.
The Cowboys added WR CeeDee Lamb to the injury report Saturday with a back injury that has him questionable for Monday night's game against the Texans. HC Mike McCarthy reportedly indicated it's not a big deal, though.
Jerry Jones confirmed on his weekly radio spot Tuesday that QB Dak Prescott will have season-ending surgery on his injured hamstring Wednesday.
Cowboys LB DeMarvion Overshown left Sunday's loss to the Eagles with a right knee injury. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports that it's merely bursitis and not believed to be serious.

Cowboys WR CeeDee Lamb tallied just 21 yards on 6 receptions in Sunday's loss to the Eagles, the first game since QB Dak Prescott suffered a hamstring injury. That's not helping any fantasy teams. But Lamb did, at least, maintain strong shares of the receiving work.
Cowboys RB Rico Dowdle went for just 56 total yards in Sunday's lopsided loss to the Eagles. He rushed 12 times for 53 (4.4 per rush) and added only 3 yards on 3 receptions. The positive? Dowdle continued to assert himself as the backfield leader.
Cowboys QB Cooper Rush threw for just 45 yards in Sunday's loss to the Eagles before getting yanked in the fourth quarter. He completed 13 of 23 passes, with no TDs or INTs. But Rush also lost a pair of fumbles despite taking just 1 sack. Trey Lance came on for 21 passing yards, 17 rushing yards, 1 INT, and 2 sacks taken.
There's a "strong possibility" that the Cowboys use QB Trey Lance in certain packages vs. the Eagles today, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. QB Cooper Rush will get the start and figures to play the majority of snaps. But we could see Dallas take advantage of Lance's athleticism, particularly in short-yardage and red-zone situations. You should be avoiding Cowboys QBs in Week 10 fantasy lineups. The Lance news isn't great for WR CeeDee Lamb, but he still belongs in most fantasy lineups.
According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Cowboys QB Dak Prescott is “planning” to undergo surgery on his hamstring, “pending the opinion of one final specialist.” We’ll let you know when the official word comes down, but this one appears pretty clear. Per Schefter, "the Cowboys believe it is better to address the injury now than to let it heal on its own and encounter complications later." Cooper Rush figures to start in the short term, but it wouldn’t be surprising if Dallas opts to start Trey Lance at some point. Rush sits deep in QB2 territory in our Week 10 QB rankings.
The Cowboys are placing QB Dak Prescott on IR with his hamstring injury, EVP Stephen Jones said Friday. That knocks Prescott out for at least the next four games. But the Fort Worth Star-Telegram hears that "the expected timeline is expected to trend closer to six weeks or more." The earliest Prescott could return is Week 14. A 6-week absence would have him out until Week 16. Dallas' season could be over for all intents and purposes at that point. Prescott is very droppable in 1-QB leagues without an IR spot.
Cowboys QB Dak Prescott (hamstring) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Eagles. The team is still deciding whether Prescott will go on IR, which would cost him at least four games. QB Cooper Rush will make his first start this weekend since 2022. He owns a career 60.0% completion rate and 6.5 yards per attempt. While not the worst backup in the world, Rush is obviously a significant downgrade from Prescott for Dallas’ offense.
