Fantasy Impact: The news that Taylor will not play is not a surprise considering the star running back had surgery on his thumb this week. There is currently no timetable for his return, but the team has not placed Taylor on IR. Zack Moss will lead the Colts’ backfield with Taylor sidelined.

Bill Belichick declined to name a starting quarterback to reporters. (Source: Chris Mason on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact: Belichick had some praise for Bailey Zappe, calling him "even-keeled." It was Zappe who took all of the reps in practice earlier in the week with Mac Jones not seeing any. This remains a situation to monitor
Jets' coach Robert Saleh said Dalvin Cook is dealing with a shoulder injury. (Source: Brian Costello on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact: Saleh added that he believes Cook will be fine. Seeing no more than four touches in a game over the past six games for the Jets, Cook remains off the fantasy radar.

Aaron Rodgers is reportedly "not close to being game-ready" but that could change next week when he plans to ramp up what he is doing in practice. (Source: Rich Cimini on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact: Rodgers told reporters he "badly" wants to play again this year and is targeting a return by the Jets' December 24th game against Washington. The Jets are 4-7 so it still seems unlikely we see Rodgers on the field again this year unless they go on a run these next few weeks. Rodgers also acknowledged the possibility of re-injuring his Achilles if he returns too soon. “My thing is, what’s the worst that can happen? Something unfortunate again and then you just slow the rehab down.”

The Cowboys D/ST allowed 35 points on 406 total yards with an interception and one sack on Thursday against Seattle.
Fantasy Impact: It was a rough outing for the Cowboys secondary overall. The defensive line was able to do just enough late in the game to help Dallas hold on for the win. They will be a tough D/ST to trust next week against the Eagles.

Jake Ferguson caught 6-of-8 targets for 77 yards and a touchdown in the Cowboys' 41-35 win over the Seahawks.
Fantasy Impact: It was a nice bounce back for Ferguson coming off a couple of poor performances. He could have had another touchdown in the opening drive of the game, but the ball was knocked away right before he caught it in the end zone. He faces an Eagles defense next week who he posted a 7/91/1 stat line against earlier this year.

Jalen Tolbert caught his lone target for 17 yards in the Cowboys' 41-35 win over the Seahawks.

Brandin Cooks caught 4-of-4 targets for 45 yards and a touchdown in the Cowboys' 41-35 win over the Seahawks.
Fantasy Impact: Cooks now has a touchdown in back-to-back weeks and five scores in the last seven weeks. He has seen more than four targets in just one game since Week 3 which makes him a bit more big play/touchdown dependent for fantasy managers, but he has had some recent success at finding the end zone.
Category: Game Recaps
CeeDee Lamb caught 12-of-17 targets for 116 yards and a touchdown in the Cowboys' 41-35 win over the Seahawks.
Fantasy Impact: Lamb tied his season-high in receptions and set a his season-high in targets. It was a big night that could have been even bigger with a couple of drops. Lamb remains a strong WR1 play next week against the Eagles.

Rico Dowdle ran for 15 yards on seven carries in the Cowboys' 41-35 win over the Seahawks. He also caught his lone target for an additional seven yards through the air.
Fantasy Impact: Dowdle remained in his change-of-pace role behind Tony Pollard. He remains a handcuff for fantasy managers.
Category: Game Recaps
Tony Pollard ran for 68 yards and a touchdown on 20 carries in the Cowboys' 41-35 win over the Seahawks. He also caught 3-of-4 targets for an additional 15 yards through the air.
Fantasy Impact: The 20 carries Pollard saw were his most since Week 3. He also found the end zone for the third straight week. He'll be a low-end RB1 play next week against the Eagles.
