Cowboys Fantasy Standouts
CeeDee Lamb: 5 receptions, 74 yards, 2 touchdowns — 24.4 PPR points
Lamb made the most of his opportunities, catching two of Dak Prescott’s three touchdown passes. He delivered a matchup-changing fantasy performance without needing double-digit receptions.nytimes
Javonte Williams: 25 carries, 155 rushing yards, 1 touchdown — 21.5 rushing fantasy points
Williams combined volume with production, posting a career-high rushing total and adding a late two-yard touchdown. His 25 carries were especially encouraging for fantasy managers. The listed fantasy total covers his rushing production only.nytimes+1
George Pickens: 4 receptions, 57 yards, 1 touchdown — 15.7 PPR points
Pickens turned a modest-volume receiving night into a useful fantasy finish with a 21-yard touchdown. Lamb led the scoring, but Pickens still rewarded managers who started him.nytimes+1
Dak Prescott: 212 passing yards, 3 touchdowns, 0 interceptions, rushing two-point conversion
Prescott produced 22.48 fantasy points from his passing statistics and successful two-point conversion, before any rushing-yardage contribution. He threw only 27 passes but delivered an efficient three-touchdown performance. Scoring assumes four points per passing touchdown.nytimes+1
Brandon Aubrey: Field goals from 55, 27 and 24 yards
Aubrey supplied another productive kicking performance, highlighted by a 55-yarder that provided a bonus in distance-based scoring formats.thescore
Eagles Fantasy Takeaways
Saquon Barkley: 7 carries, 62 rushing yards, 1 touchdown — 12.2 rushing fantasy points
Barkley flashed early and scored on an eight-yard run, but injury concerns kept him from handling a normal workload. The Athletic described a hamstring-related exit, while the Associated Press reported apparent hamstring discomfort and treatment for his back. His practice participation and official injury updates will be critical this week. The listed fantasy total covers rushing production only.nytimes+1
Dameon Pierce: Rushing touchdown
Pierce scored from five yards out and becomes a conditional waiver consideration if Barkley misses time. The touchdown alone does not establish him as a reliable fantasy starter, and the available recap does not provide a complete backfield workload breakdown.thescore
Tanner McKee: 211 passing yards, 1 touchdown, 1 interception
McKee completed 23 of 35 passes, producing 10.44 passing-only fantasy points under four-point passing-touchdown and minus-two interception scoring. Philadelphia’s passing game remained limited with Jalen Hurts unavailable.thescore
Makai Lemon: First career receiving touchdown
The rookie caught a four-yard touchdown, putting him on the fantasy watch list. Managers still need evidence of consistent targets and playing time before treating him as a dependable lineup option.nytimes+1
DeVonta Smith: Did not play
Smith’s absence further weakened Philadelphia’s passing attack. The available recaps do not include complete receiving statistics for every Eagles pass catcher.thescore
What Fantasy Managers Should Do Next
Monitor Barkley’s health before making lineup decisions. His touchdown was useful, but his limited workload is the more important development for the coming week.nytimes+1
Keep Pierce on the waiver watch list. His potential value depends on Barkley’s availability and how Philadelphia distributes the backfield work.thescore
Take encouragement from Williams’ workload. His 25 carries offer a stronger ongoing signal than simply chasing a career-best yardage total.nytimes
Keep Dallas’ offensive explosion in context. Philadelphia allowed 416 total yards and has surrendered at least 375 yards in each game of its five-game losing streak. This was a strong performance against a struggling defense.
