Dallas Cowboys news, rumors and injuriesCowboys | Dez Bryant playing more in the slot Sat, 24 Sep 2016 21:50:58 -0700 Dallas Cowboys WR Dez Bryant was given more snaps in the slot in Week 2, which was part of a conscious effort from head coach Jason Garrett and offensive coordinator Scott Linehan to get Bryant more involved in the offense. Fantasy Tip: Fantasy owners don't really want to know how the sausage is made, but Bryant's seven catches for 102 yards in Week 2 sure looked a lot more appealing than his one-catch, eight-yard opener. Look for the team to continue finding ways to keep Bryant involved, and keep him in your lineup as a WR1.

Fantasy Tip: Romo is hoping to return around Week 8, and while he can be a viable QB2 once he returns, he can be left on the waiver wire in the meantime.

That repair is holding up strong. But the facts are the facts. I haven't played in a year, and after two games, I haven't been able to play fully. I'm extremely sore today."

Comment () | Share: Cowboys | Ezekiel Elliott won't lose carries Tue, 20 Sep 2016 08:44:25 -0700 Dallas Cowboys RB Ezekiel Elliott won't lose carries due to his two fumbles in Week 2, according to owner Jerry Jones. Fantasy Tip: Zeke was pretty good in Week 2 other than the ball insecurity issues. He'll be a high-end RB2 against the Chicago Bears this week. Comment () | Share: Cowboys | Randy Gregory not appealing Mon, 19 Sep 2016 14:00:36 -0700 Dallas Cowboys DE Randy Gregory has withdrawn the appeal of his 10-game suspension for violations of the NFL's substance abuse policy.

Comment () | Share: Cowboys | Tyrone Crawford moved to LE Mon, 19 Sep 2016 06:07:50 -0700 Dallas Cowboys DT Tyrone Crawford was moved to left defensive end in Week 2 and recorded a sack. Comment () | Share: Cowboys | Dez Bryant posts triple digits Sun, 18 Sep 2016 22:47:49 -0700 Dallas Cowboys WR Dez Bryant racked up seven receptions for 102 yards in the Week 2 game against the Washington Redskins. He was targeted 12 times. Fantasy Tip: Bryant is developing quite the rapport with rookie Dak Prescott, and perhaps there is fantasy life after Tony Romo after all. Bryant struggled last year with the turnstile at quarterback, but he remains a WR1 despite the rookie's presence under center this year. Comment () | Share: Cowboys | Alfred Morris scores against old team Sun, 18 Sep 2016 22:47:08 -0700 Dallas Cowboys RB Alfred Morris rushed five times for seven yards and a touchdown in the Week 2 game against the Washington Redskins. Fantasy Tip: Morris didn't do much, but at least he found the end zone and showed D.C. fans his traditional baseball swing celebration. Despite the touchdown he should still be viewed as an RB3 in all fantasy formats unless Ezekiel Elliott continues to fumble or suffers some sort of long-term injury. Comment () | Share: Cowboys | Dak Prescott earns first NFL win Sun, 18 Sep 2016 22:31:24 -0700 Dallas Cowboys rookie QB Dak Prescott completed 22 of his 30 pass attempts for 292 yards, no touchdowns and no interceptions in the Week 2 game against the Washington Redskins. He also rushed once for a six-yard score. Fantasy Tip: Prescott is filling in admirably for the injured Tony Romo, as the Cowboys look night and day from last season when they struggled to find an adequate replacement for their starter. The rookie Prescott is a solid QB2 and will make a decent bye week replacement in most fantasy formats. Comment () | Share: Cowboys | No concerns about Ezekiel Elliott Sun, 18 Sep 2016 19:40:32 -0700 Dallas Cowboys RB Ezekiel Elliott had a pair of fumbles in Week 2 against the Washington redskins, but general manager/owner Jerry Jones said Sunday, Sept. 18, that he and the coaching staff have no concerns about Elliott's fumbles being a problem going forward. Fantasy Tip: That might be the public position, but you can bet your bottom dollar the team will be working on ball security with Elliott going forward. Still, it seems like he has the confidence of the staff and there are no immediate concerns about his workload being cut. Fantasy owners like that. Comment () | Share: Cowboys | Dallas' Week 2 inactives Sun, 18 Sep 2016 08:46:39 -0700 The Dallas Cowboys have declared DL Charles Tapper, RB Darius Jackson, SS Kavon Frazier, LB Mark Nzeocha, OG Ronald Leary, LB Ryan Davis, QB Tony Romo inactive for Week 2.
