Dallas Cowboys

NFC East


Deuce Vaughn is correctly valued at his ADP of 297 as the consensus #279 overall player. At a projected workload of 2.8 carries and 0.8 receptions per game, Vaughn isn't someone you can really use in fantasy. He trails both Ezekiel Elliott and Rico Dowdle on the depth chart in Dallas. Dallas has the 2nd-worst running back schedule.

Jalen Tolbert is the third best WR on the Cowboys, trailing CeeDee Lamb and Brandin Cooks. Ranked #111 in our consensus wide receiver rankings, he's not worth a draft pick in most leagues. He's projected to catch 43.2 receptions for 573 yards and 3.5 TDs, which is 16.8% of the total for Cowboys WRs. Dallas has the 3rd-best wide receiver schedule.

Trey Lance won't begin the season as the Cowboys' starting QB - that honor belongs to Dak Prescott. That means he's not really worth drafting in most fantasy leagues. Lance is expected to earn 16% of his projected 11 fantasy points by rushing. While rushing is in his toolbox, it's not enough to significantly help his floor. Projected for a 1.0 touchdown-to-interception ratio, Lance carries more interception risk than is comfortable.

Jake Ferguson is projected to catch a respectable 68.2 receptions for 720 yards and 6.2 touchdowns. As a top-9 TE, Ferguson is a solid choice for your starting tight end. As the consensus #97 overall player, Ferguson is a reasonable pick at his ADP of 93. Dallas has the 17th-best tight end schedule.

At QB8, Dak Prescott is a strong starger, but won't come particularly cheap with an ADP in the 5th round. Prescott is expected to earn 12% of his projected 304 fantasy points by rushing. While not insignificant, it isn't a major focus of his gameplan. With a projected toughdown-to-interception ratio of 2.2, he doesn't carry much interception risk.

As the consensus #119 overall player, Ezekiel Elliott is a reasonable pick at his ADP of 120. At a projected workload of 13.2 touches per game (11.0 carries and 2.2 receptions), Elliott has an uninspiring but still valuable workload. He's ahead of both Rico Dowdle and Deuce Vaughn on the depth chart in Dallas. The Cowboys have the 2nd-worst schedule for running backs.

The market has Rico Dowdle correctly valued at an ADP of 154, compared to an overall ECR of 149. With 9.7 projected touches per game (8.6 rushes and 1.1 catches), Dowdle won't be reliable in fantasy. He's trailing Ezekiel Elliott on the running back chart for Dallas. The Cowboys have the 2nd-worst schedule for RBs.

At a projected workload of 2.0 touches per game (1.8 carries and 0.2 receptions), Royce Freeman is not fantasy-relevant. He's behind both Ezekiel Elliott and Rico Dowdle on the running back chart for the Cowboys.

With 0.0 projected rushes and 0.0 projected catches per games, Malik Davis is safe to leave on the waiver wire. He has some competition on the Cowboys' depth chart, where he trails both Ezekiel Elliott and Rico Dowdle.

As the consensus #2 overall player, CeeDee Lamb is a reasonable pick at his ADP of 2. Lamb is the bonafide top receiver on the Cowboys, with Brandin Cooks and Jalen Tolbert behind him. As the consensus #1 WR, he could take you to the promise land. He's projected for 1,528 yards and 9.4 TDs on 118.4 receptions, for 45.9% of the total for WRs on the Cowboys. The Cowboys have the 3rd-best schedule for wide receivers.

The Cowboys have the 3rd-best wide receiver schedule.

He's projected for 134 yards and 1.0 TDs on 11.2 receptions, for 4.3% of the workload for WRs on the Cowboys. The Cowboys have the 3rd-best schedule for wide receivers.

As the consensus #65, Luke Schoonmaker is best left on the waiver wire. Schoonmaker is projected for only 125 yards and 1.1 TDs on 12.2 receptions. Schoonmaker is not Dallas's top tight end with Jake Ferguson around.

With a projection of 806 yards and 6.1 TDs on 77.5 receptions, Dalton Schultz is one of only 6 TEs expected to record 800 yards.

The Cowboys have the 7th-best schedule for TEs.
