Cowboys WR CeeDee Lamb (ankle) did not practice on Wednesday. "Sounds like nothing major," NFL Network's Tom Pelissero tweeted. Lamb can stay penciled into Week 3 fantasy lineups for now. We'll let you know if he gets back on the practice field tomorrow.
Cowboys TE Luke Schoonmaker tied for the team lead with 6 receptions in Sunday's loss to the Saints. His 6 targets and 43 yards each ranked third on the team. That comes out to just 7.2 yards per catch, though. And Schoonmaker split playing time with TE Brevyn Spann-Ford.
Cowboys RB Rico Dowdle edged Ezekiel Elliot for the backfield lead in Sunday's 44-19 loss to the Saints. Dowdle carried seven times to Elliott's six and beat Elliott 5-3 in targets. He tallied 30 yards rushing (4.3 per carry) and 29 receiving (7.3 per catch). Elliott went 6-16 rushing and 2-16 receiving.

Cowboys QB Dak Prescott threw for 293 yards, 1 TD, and 2 INTs in Sunday's lopsided loss to the Saints.
Cowboys TE Jake Ferguson (knee) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Saints. He missed practice all week and never seemed to have much of a chance to play in this one. We’ll see if Ferguson can make it back for Week 3. TEs Luke Schoonmaker and Brevyn Spann-Ford split work after Ferguson exited the opener. Neither is a viable Week 2 fantasy play.
After suffering a bone bruise and MCL sprain, Cowboys TE Jake Ferguson is officially doubtful for Week 2.

It's all good news, but fantasy managers can't be counting on Ferguson playing in Week 2 vs. the Saints. We'll continue to track his status.
