Availability
The Cowboys' D/ST logged two sacks and one fumble recovery while allowing 28 points in Sunday night's loss to the New York Giants.
Fantasy Impact
Dallas' defense didn't look great on Sunday night. They allowed New York to put up 28 points over the course of the game, which led to a loss on the road for the Cowboys. This unit is not likely to be worth starting in most fantasy leagues moving forward.
The Cowboys defense allowed 34 points on 380 yards of total offense, coming up with four sacks and forcing one turnover in Sunday's loss to the Giants.
Fantasy Impact
It was a season of struggling for the Dallas defense, as the unit consistently ranked toward the bottom of the league in yards and points allowed per game. Sunday's effort was par for the course. The Cowboys front office will spend the offseason looking to drastically improve on that side of the ball.
The Cowboys D/ST recorded two sacks while also failing to force any turnovers in a 30-23 win over the Commanders in Week 17.
Fantasy Impact
The unit was unable to make a substantial impact Christmas Day, allowing an explosive 8.6 yards per carry in the win. The unit could offer fantasy managers a potential streaming option in Week 18 against the New York Giants.
The Cowboys D/ST allowed 34 points on 452 yards on Sunday against the Chargers.
Fantasy Impact
Justin Herbert was able to get whatever he wanted through the air all afternoon against Dallas. The Cowboys did not force any turnovers either. They will draw Josh Johnson and the Commanders next week.
The Dallas defense struggled to disrupt the Minnesota offense during Sunday's loss, failing to record a single sack while surrendering 34 points and 327 total yards. The unit's inability to generate pressure proved costly in high-leverage situations, as they allowed the Vikings to convert all three of their fourth-down attempts.
Fantasy Impact
The lone bright spot for fantasy managers was a single interception, but the defense otherwise failed to produce significant counting stats in a difficult outing.
