Henry Melton is worth it for the Cowboys

Fantasy Impact:
Melton almost single handedly adds value to the Cowboys' defense with his pass rushing ability; the team only has 16 sacks this season, 28th in the NFL. The team ranks in the middle of the league both against the pass (14th) and the run (13th) and is also top-10 in the league with 10 interceptions, so if the Cowboys can generate a pass rush, they may merit an add in all formats. Melton may be a part of that change as he continues to clog the middle for the Cowboys as rookie DeMarcus Lawrence develops on the outside. The Cowboys have boosted their sack total over the past couple games and facing the Giants weak offensive line may allow Melton to make a difference in Week 12.
