Fantasy Impact:

Vander Esch will become the first Cowboys rookie defender to play in the Pro Bowl since Everson Walls did it back in 1981. The 2018 first-rounder finished the regular season with 140 tackles and two interceptions in 16 games (11 starts). He added 14 total tackles in two playoff starts. Vander Esch will join fellow Cowboys RB Ezekiel Elliott, OT Tyron Smith, OG Zack Martin, CB Byron Jones and DE DeMarcus Lawrence in Orlando.
