Cooper Rush

Dallas Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy would not comment on who will be the starter in Week 18's season finale between QB Cooper Rush and Trey Lance.

Fantasy Impact

Rush has started eight games for the Cowboys this season, going 4-4 and averaging 209.6 passing yards per game in his starts. While there were some expectations among fans that Lance would see action this season, the young QB (acquired for a mid-round pick in 2023) has barely played (20 snaps all season). It remains to be seen who starts in Week 18, but it has been all Rush since Dak Prescott's injury.

Cooper Rush completed 15-of-28 passes for 147 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions in the Cowboys 41-7 loss against the Eagles.

Fantasy Impact

It was a nightmare start as Rush threw a pick-six on the first possession of the game. He was able to rebound with a passing touchdown on the next drive to Jalen Tolbert, but that was the whole offense for the Cowboys on the afternoon. Dallas closes its season next week against the Commanders.

Cooper Rush completed 26 of his 35 passes for 292 yards and one touchdown in a 26-24 win over the Buccaneers in Week 16.

Fantasy Impact

Rush led the Cowboys to an impressive win over a tough Bucs team on Sunday night. His lone touchdown pass went to Jalen Tolbert on a 10-yard completion in the first quarter. Rush has been solid since taking over for an injured Dak Prescott, throwing for 1,697 yards, 11 touchdowns, and three interceptions in 11 games. He will face off against the Eagles on the road in Week 17.

Cooper Rush completed 18-of-29 pass attempts for 214 yards and three touchdowns in the Cowboys 30-14 win over the Panthers.

Fantasy Impact

Rush found CeeDee Lamb, Jalen Tolbert, and Jalen Brooks for his three touchdowns to pace the Cowboys to their sixth win of the season. Rush turned in on of his best performances of the season when the Cowboys needed it most to keep their playoff hopes alive. The Cowboys will take on Tampa Bay in Week 16.

Cooper Rush completed 16-of-31 passing attempts for 183 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception in Monday's 27-20 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals.

Fantasy Impact

Rush was able to score two touchdowns against the Bengals, but outside of that, he didn't play very well. He barely completed over half of his passing attempts and threw one interception, all en route to a loss at the hands of the Bengals. He may be good enough to support the fantasy value of one or two of the players on Dallas' offense over the last few weeks of the season.
