Fantasy Football Player Notes

Since the Cowboys decided to commit to Lamb as the engine of the offense (Week 6), he has had a 29.8% target share, a 38.5% air-yard share, 3.17 YPRR, and a 34.8% first-read share. Since Week 7, Seattle has utilized zone coverage at the fourth-highest rate (83.7%). Across his last six games against zone coverage, Lamb has handled a 26.8% target share, a 32.4% air-yard share, and a 31.7% first-read share with 2.59 YPRR. His numbers have taken a hit, but these are still strong metrics against zone. The biggest worry for Lamb this week is matching up (54.3% slot) in the slot with Devon Witherspoon (50.9% catch rate and 75.6 passer rating). Since Witherspoon took over as the team's primary nickel corner, Seattle has allowed the second-fewest PPR points per target to slot receivers. Week 13 Positional Value: low-end WR1

Pollard is BACK BABY! Since Week 8, he has been among the league's best tackle breakers, averaging 15.6 touches and 71.2 total yards. Since Week 8, among 32 qualifying backs, he ranks third in explosive run rate, tenth in missed tackles forced per attempt, and fifth in yards after contact per attempt. Pollard could post his best stat line of the season this week against a downtrodden Seattle run defense. Since Week 7, this run defense has been in shambles, allowing the third-highest explosive run rate, the second-most missed tackles per attempt, and the highest yards after contact per attempt. Dallas should lean on their ground game this week. Week 13 Positional Value: RB1

Cooks has found a second wind since Week 6 with receiving touchdowns in four of six games and two outings with at least 72 receiving yards. Since Week 7, Seattle has utilized zone coverage at the fourth-highest rate (83.7%). Since Week 6, Cook has had an 11.3% target share, 1.64 YPRR, and an 11.9% first read share against zone. Cooks will run about 58% of his routes on the boundary. Since Week 6, Seattle has ranked 15th in PPR points per target allowed to perimeter wide receivers. Week 13 Positional Value: WR3

Ferguson should be Prescott's best friend in Week 13. Since Week 7, Seattle has utilized zone coverage at the fourth-highest rate (83.7%). Since Week 6, against zone coverage, Ferguson has had a 14.1% target share (second on the team) with 1.52 YPRR and a 16.8% first read share. Ferguson is second in the NFL in red zone targets, behind only Davante Adams. Seattle has allowed the 11th-most receiving yards per game and the 10th-most receptions per game to tight ends. Week 13 Positional Value: TE1

Dowdle enters the low-end flex conversation this week with the matchup for the ground game. Dowdle hasn't seen a ton of work this season, averaging 6.2 touches and 28.7 total yards per game, but he has had at least ten touches in two of his last three games with Dallas blowing opponents out, which could happen again versus Seattle. Dowdle has flashed some juice with the ball, ranking seventh in yards after contact per attempt (minimum 50 carries). Since Week 7, Seattle has allowed the third-highest explosive run rate, the second-most missed tackles per attempt, and the highest yards after contact per attempt. Week 13 Positional Value: Low-end flex
