Dallas Cowboys
DST - Dallas Cowboys
This Week Outlook
Availability
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.
The Cowboys D/ST recorded three sacks while failing to register a turnover in a 31-28 win over the Chiefs in Week 13.
Fantasy Impact
The unit was able to make stops when it mattered despite a lack of impactful plays, allowing less than 400 offensive yards in the win. The unit will look to find more success against an inconsistent Detroit Lions offense in Week 14.
