Cowboys tight end Dalton Schultz caught six of his seven targets for 80 yards and two touchdowns in Monday's win over the Philadelphia Eagles.

Fantasy Impact: The Cowboys leaned heavily on the running game on Monday, but Schultz managed to haul in his first two touchdowns of the season after catching just two passes for 18 yards in Week 2. Schultz played 69% of the offensive snaps on Monday, while fellow tight end Blake Jarwin played 56%. He won't provide this kind of production on a regular basis but does appear to be slightly ahead of Jarwin on the depth chart right now.

Cowboys wide receiver Cedrick Wilson Jr. caught two of his four targets for 17 yards and a touchdown in Monday's win over the Eagles.

Fantasy Impact: Wilson has been receiving more playing time with Michael Gallup out, but he would have had another forgetful night if not for a short touchdown reception.

Cowboys running back Tony Pollard rushed 11 times for 60 yards and caught his only target for five yards in Monday's win over the Eagles.

Fantasy Impact: Pollard received 16 touches in Week 2 and 12 in Week 3 as he continues to see work while rotating with starting running back Ezekiel Elliott. However, the Cowboys were in control of Monday's game early, which led to them running the ball 41 times. That won't happen every week, and Pollard's production is likely to continue to fluctuate on a weekly basis going forward.

Eagles kicker Jake Elliott made all three of his extra point tries but did not attempt a field goal in Monday's loss to the Cowboys.

Fantasy Impact: The Eagles committed two turnovers in Dallas territory and struggled on offense for much of the night, limiting Elliott's opportunities. Through three games, he is just 2-for-3 on field goal attempts while converting all six of his extra point tries.

The Philadelphia Eagles D/ST allowed 35 points on 380 total yards while recording four sacks and scoring a defensive touchdown on a fumble recovery in Monday night's loss to the Dallas Cowboys.

Fantasy Impact: The Philadelphia Eagles D/ST had no answers for the Cowboys on Monday night, especially when it came to stopping the running game. The defensive touchdown and sacks likely prevented many fantasy managers from incurring negative points on Monday. The Eagles face the Chiefs, Panthers, Buccaneers, and Raiders over the course of the next four weeks, so fantasy managers should look elsewhere for a starting DST.

Eagles wide receiver Greg Ward caught his only target for a 15-yard touchdown in Monday's loss to the Cowboys.

Fantasy Impact: Ward didn't have any catches through the first two weeks of the season and was only targeted once on Monday, though that one catch did go for a touchdown. He played just 16 offensive snaps against the Cowboys and is a rotational wide receiver for the Eagles who does not possess any fantasy value unless there is an injury to one of Philadelphia's other wideouts.

Eagles tight end Zach Ertz caught four of his seven targets for 53 yards and a touchdown in Monday's loss to the Dallas Cowboys.

Fantasy Impact: Ertz played exactly 50% of the team's offensive snaps on Monday, while fellow tight end Dallas Goedert played 59%. The two continue to split time in Philadelphia, limiting the upside of both. Through three games, Ertz has caught seven of his 11 targets for 93 yards and a touchdown.

Eagles wide receiver Quez Watkins caught both of his targets for 46 yards in Monday's loss to the Dallas Cowboys.

Fantasy Impact: Watkins played 66% of the team's offensive snaps on Monday but received just two targets. Through three weeks, he has caught all seven of his targets for 186 yards and no touchdowns. He is a worthwhile hold in dynasty formats but is a boom-or-bust option in most standard redraft leagues.

Eagles running back Kenneth Gainwell rushed one time for two yards and caught three of his four targets for 32 yards in Monday's loss to the Dallas Cowboys.

Fantasy Impact: The Eagles only handed the ball off to running backs three times on Monday, with Gainwell receiving one of the carries. Through the first three weeks of the season, the young running back has rushed 16 times for 53 yards and a touchdown while catching seven of his 10 targets for 56 yards.

Eagles wide receiver Jalen Reagor caught five of his eight targets for 53 yards in Monday's loss to the Dallas Cowboys.

Fantasy Impact: Reagor was held to just five yards receiving in Week 2, so this was a bounceback of sorts for the young wideout. Still, he has produced just 107 yards receiving and one touchdown on 13 receptions through the first three weeks of the season.

The Colts and RB Marlon Mack have agreed to mutually seek a trade. (Source: Tom Pelissero on Twitter )

Fantasy Impact: Mack is fully healthy after last year’s Achilles tear. However, with Jonathan Taylor as the team’s bell cow and Nyheim Hines recently extended, the backfield is a little too crowded for Mack’s liking. Mack is hoping for opportunities elsewhere after receiving just five carries so far this season.

Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert caught two passes for 66 yards in Monday's loss to the Dallas Cowboys.

Fantasy Impact: Through three weeks, Goedert has caught eight of his 11 targets for 132 yards and one touchdown. He continues to split time with Zach Ertz, limiting the upside of both.

Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith caught three of his six targets for 28 yards in Monday's blowout loss to the Dallas Cowboys.

Fantasy Impact: After an impressive debut in Week 1, Smith has just five receptions for 44 yards over his last two games combined. He still leads the team in targets through three weeks, but his production has waned over the last two. He will look to bounce back against the Chiefs in Week 4.

Eagles running back Miles Sanders rushed two times for 27 yards and caught three of his four targets for 28 yards in Monday's loss to the Dallas Cowboys.

Fantasy Impact: The Philadelphia offensive gameplan on Monday night was truly bizarre, with quarterback Jalen Hurts dropping back to pass more than 40 times and just three carries going to Philadelphia running backs. Sanders has failed to find the end zone through the first three weeks of the season, which is not exactly surprising given his minimal usage on Monday.

Cowboys wide receiver Amari Cooper caught three of his four targets for just 26 yards in Monday's win over the Eagles.

Fantasy Impact: In Week 1, Cooper caught 13 of his 17 targets for 139 yards and two touchdowns. In his two games since, he has caught six of his nine targets for just 50 yards and no touchdowns. The Cowboys have been leaning more on the running game in recent weeks, and Cooper's production has faded as a result.

NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reports that former 49ers' DB Richard Sherman met with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Monday for a visit. (Source: Tom Pelissero on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Even though he is no longer in his prime, Sherman—a five-time Pro Bowler—is highly respected around the league by several players. With Tampa's secondary beat up with injuries, Sherman would certainly be a worthwhile addition. He had a lot of impact on San Francisco's defense in 2019, not only as a defensive back, but also as a leader. Sherman could slide into a similar role with a young Tampa Bay secondary in need of some help.

Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb caught all three of his targets for 66 yards in Monday's win over the Eagles.

Fantasy Impact: After being targeted 24 times combined over the first two weeks of the season, Lamb received just three targets in Week 3. However, the Eagles were unable to stop the Dallas running game on Monday, which led to 41 runs against just 26 passes for the Cowboys. Look for Lamb to bounce back with a more balanced approach on offense in Week 4 against the Panthers.

Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott rushed 17 times for 95 yards and two touchdowns and caught all three of his targets for 21 yards in Monday's win over the Eagles.

Fantasy Impact: The Cowboys ran all over the Eagles on Monday, and Elliott averaged 5.6 yards per carry on the night. Fellow running back Tony Pollard also saw 11 carries, but that was due in large part to the Cowboys running the ball 41 times against a defensive front that was unable to stop them.

Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott completed 21 of his 26 pass attempts for 238 yards and three touchdowns in Monday's win over the Philadelphia Eagles. He also added six yards rushing and lost a fumble.

Fantasy Impact: The Cowboys ran the ball 41 times on Monday night, with both Ezekiel Elliott and Tony Pollard averaging more than five yards per carry, so Prescott wasn't asked to do too much in the passing game. Still, he was efficient and found the end zone three times for fantasy managers. Prescott and the Dallas offense have a tougher matchup in Week 4 against the Panthers at home.

Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts completed 25 of his 39 pass attempts for 326 yards, two touchdowns, and two interceptions while rushing for 35 yards on nine carries in Monday's loss to the Cowboys.

Fantasy Impact: The Eagles threw the ball 39 times against just 12 runs on Monday, and nine of those runs were actually Hurts. Both of Hurts's interceptions were on the Cowboys' side of the field and contributed to what was ultimately a blowout loss. The young quarterback put up some decent numbers in the second half for fantasy managers thanks to the game already being in hand, but this is not a performance that inspires confidence. Hurts will look to bounce back against the Chiefs at home in Week 4.
