Dallas Cowboys Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

TE Jake Ferguson ranked second among Cowboys in targets (8) and receptions (6) in Sunday night's loss to the 49ers. He turned those catches into just 23 yards, though, averaging a mere 3.8 per reception. Blame a season-low 1.4-yard average depth of target as the primary culprit, according to Pro Football Reference. Ferguson averaged minus-1.3 yards before catch per reception for the game.

NFL Network's Tom Pelissero talked up RB Dalvin Cook ahead of the veteran's first game with the Cowboys on Sunday night against the 49ers. Someone must have forgotten to tell Cook or the team how good he had looked in practice, though. Cook carried six times for just 12 yards and added a 10-yard catch on his lone target. He trailed RB Ezekiel Elliott in carries, yards, and yards per rush, and watched Elliott claim the team's only rushing TD.

Cowboys WR CeeDee Lamb delivered his biggest fantasy line so far this season in Sunday night's loss to the 49ers. He racked up 13 catches for 146 yards and 2 TDs on 17 targets. That accounted for a whopping 44.7% of Dak Prescott's pass attempts for the game and more than doubled his nearest teammate (Jake Ferguson, 8 targets).

The Cowboys plan to elevate RB Dalvin Cook from the practice squad, putting him in line to play vs. the 49ers on Sunday night, ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reports. Cook was one of the least effective runners in the league last season, averaging 3.2 yards per carry and ranking dead last among 62 qualifiers in Pro Football Focus rushing grade. So we're not banking on him emerging as a fantasy asset in Dallas. We'll see how big a role he plays in his Cowboys debut. Cook adds a little more risk to RB Rico Dowdle's Week 8 fantasy profile.

Cowboys K Brandon Aubrey was on jury duty all week and did not practice. But he’s not listed on the final injury report and will kick against the 49ers on Sunday night. He can stay in Week 8 fantasy lineups.

The Cowboys have ruled Edge Micah Parsons out for Sunday's game against the 49ers. It'll be his third straight missed game (surrounding a Week 7 bye) since suffering a high-ankle sprain against the Giants. We'll see whether he can make it back for the Week 9 visit to Atlanta. In the meantime, Dallas will have to once again start Carl Lawson and Chauncey Golston on the edges.

Cowboys K Brandon Aubrey did not practice on Wednesday because he was on jury duty. Seriously. According to Fort Worth Star-Telegram's Nick Harris, Aubrey was chosen to be on a jury for a felony assault case. He'll be in court on Thursday and Friday but is expected to be available for Sunday night's game vs. the 49ers. He can stay in Week 8 fantasy lineups for now. We'll let you know if anything changes with his status.

Broncos RB Javonte Williams ran 14 times for 88 yards and two TDs in Thursday night's win over the Saints. He found more running room than he did in any of his previous six games this season and consistently added extra yards with his tackle-breaking ability. Per Pro Football Focus, Williams averaged 3.6 yards after contact per attempt. He tacked on 23 more yards on three receptions to go over 110 total yards on the night.

Cowboys WR CeeDee Lamb posted merely fine numbers in Sunday's lopsided loss to the Lions: 7 receptions, 89 yards. But he also saw his largest target share of the season. Lamb's 14 targets constituted 42.4% of QB Dak Prescott's pass attempts for the game. That followed a four-game stretch of down usage vs. his 2023 numbers.

Cowboys WR/RB/return specialist KaVontae Turpin finished a surprising second on the team in targets for Sunday's lopsided loss to the Lions. That was a little deceptive, though, as Turpin drew 4 of his 7 targets after QB Cooper Rush stepped in for Dak Prescott.

Cowboys WR Jalen Tolbert went off for 7 catches, 87 yards, and 1 TD in a Week 5 win over Pittsburgh. Tolbert surprisingly led the team in all major receiving categories.

Broncos RB Javonte Williams went his fifth straight game without a TD in Week 5. But he delivered in the yardage department, racking up 61 yards on the ground; 50 yards through the air.

Broncos RB Javonte Williams ran the ball 16 times for 77 yards. He also caught two of three targets for three yards. It was his best-rushing performance of the season.

The Cowboys suffered a pair of significant injuries on defense in Thursday night's win over the Giants. Edge Micah Parsons sustained a left high ankle sprain. Edge Demarcus Lawrence suffered a right mid-foot sprain. ESPN's Todd Archer reports that both players could miss "multiple weeks." Dallas has two more games before a Week 7 bye.

Cowboys QB Dak Prescott was not at his sharpest in the Week 3 loss to the Ravens. He completed just 55% of his passes at 7.4 yards per attempt. But Prescott wound up with a strong fantasy outing thanks to 51 pass attempts -- the fifth most of his career. Dak hit halftime with 140 scoreless passing yards. But the Cowboys fell behind 28-6 early in the third quarter, and Prescott 239 yards and two TDs on 31 attempts in the second half. He also punched in a third score from one yard out on a QB sneak.

Cowboys WR CeeDee Lamb (ankle) is not listed on the final injury report for this weekend’s game vs. the Ravens. After sitting out on Wednesday, he put in a limited practice on Thursday and was a full-go on Friday. We’re not expecting the ankle to be an issue this weekend. Lamb remains a must-start.

Cowboys TE Jake Ferguson (knee) is not listed on the final Week 3 injury report. He practiced all week, including a full workout on Friday, so it looks like he’ll be ready for a full slate of snaps against the Ravens on Sunday. Ferguson is a top-10 TE play in that potential shootout.

Cowboys WR CeeDee Lamb (ankle) returned to a limited practice on Thursday. He said afterward that he took Wednesday off to rest a sore ankle but that it felt fine on Thursday. We'll see what Lamb does on Friday and how he's listed on the final injury report, but we're tentatively projecting him to play his usual role vs. the Ravens on Sunday.

Cowboys TE Jake Ferguson (knee) got in a limited practice on Wednesday. We're tentatively projecting him to play vs. the Ravens this weekend, but we'll keep you updated on his status over the next few days.

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.
