Cowboys RB Javonte Williams suffered a shoulder injury in the first quarter of Sunday night's game vs. the Vikings and is officially questionable to return. His absence leaves RB Malik Davis atop the depth chart. We'll update Williams' status when we know more.

Update: Williams returned for the start of the second half.

Cowboys TE Jake Ferguson (calf) is active for tonight’s game vs. the Vikings. He seemingly hurt his calf on Wednesday, did not practice on Thursday, but was able to return to a limited practice on Friday. That adds some risk to Ferguson’s Week 15 fantasy profile, but he’s available if you were waiting on him.

Cowboys TE Jake Ferguson (calf) is expected to play vs. the Vikings tonight, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Ferguson seemingly hurt his calf on Wednesday and didn't practice on Thursday. But he returned to a limited practice on Friday, and EVP Stephen Jones sounded optimistic about his status at that point. Unless we hear otherwise, Ferguson seems relatively safe to stay in fantasy lineups.

Cowboys TE Jake Ferguson (calf) is listed as questionable for Sunday night’s game vs. the Vikings. It looks like he hurt his calf on Wednesday. Ferguson didn’t practice on Thursday but returned to a limited workout on Friday. "I think we're gonna be good,” EVP Stephen Jones said Friday. “He had a good day today, which is what we were looking for. Barring a setback ... the expectation is for him to go [Sunday night]." Ferguson can stay penciled into fantasy lineups for now, although the calf adds risk to his Week 15 outlook. We’ll look for further updates on his status.

Cowboys WR CeeDee Lamb has cleared concussion protocol and will play vs. the Vikings on Sunday night, NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reports. Lamb will be in his usual high-volume role for that one. Despite Minnesota ranking first in adjusted fantasy points allowed to WRs, Lamb remains an elite WR1 play.

Cowboys TE Jake Ferguson (calf) followed a limited practice on Wednesday with no practice on Thursday. It now looks like he hurt his calf in Wednesday's practice, although we don't have confirmation on that. We'll see if Ferguson practices tomorrow and how he's listed on the final injury report for Sunday night's game vs. the Vikings. His absence would leave TE duties to Luke Schoonmaker and Brevyn Spann-Ford -- but neither would be a bankable fantasy start.

Cowboys WR CeeDee Lamb (concussion) was upgraded to full participation in Thursday's practice. He's on track to be cleared for Sunday night's game vs. the Vikings, but we'll update Lamb's status again tomorrow.

Cowboys WR CeeDee Lamb (concussion) got in a limited practice on Wednesday. He's made progress through the protocol and has a good chance to be cleared in time for Sunday night's game against the Vikings. We'll update Lamb's status again tomorrow. Fantasy owners hoping to start Lamb can add WR Ryan Flournoy as insurance.

Cowboys HC Brian Schottenheimer said Monday that WR CeeDee Lamb is "doing good" and "progressing nicely" after sustaining a concussion in Thursday night's loss to the Lions. The extra few days between games should give Lamb a good chance to be cleared in time for Sunday night's game vs. the Vikings. We'll keep you updated on Lamb throughout the week.

It was WR Ryan Flournoy -- not WR George Pickens -- who stepped up for the Cowboys with WR CeeDee Lamb out for most of the second half of Thursday night's game vs. the Lions with a concussion. Flournoy hit halftime with two catches for five yards. He racked up another seven grabs for 110 yards and a score over the game's final 30 minutes. Flournoy's 42-yard TD in the fourth quarter came on a coverage bust in Detroit's secondary. But he also ran some crisp routes and made multiple tough grabs in traffic. Flournoy's 13 targets led the Cowboys and were a big 27.7% of the team total.

The Cowboys racked up 416 total yards and 376 passing yards in Thursday night's 44-30 loss to the Lions. WR George Pickens came away with just five catches for 37 yards and 0 TDs. It was an even more disappointing outcome considering WR CeeDee Lamb missed almost the entire second half with a concussion. Pickens saw bracket coverage on most plays after Lamb exited. But he also ran a bunch of half-hearted routes and was not attacking the ball like we know he's capable of. Pickens ran a lazy slant on Dallas' first offensive snap of the second half that was broken up by CB Amik Robertson and intercepted by LB Derrick Barnes.

Cowboys WR CeeDee Lamb left early in the third quarter of Thursday night's game at Detroit with a concussion. He hit his head on the ground after extending backward to attempt a catch in the end zone.

Cowboys WR George Pickens (knee, calf) was upgraded to full participation in Wednesday's practice and is off the final injury report. He should be ready for his usual role in Thursday's game vs. the Chiefs and remains a must-start in fantasy football.

Cowboys WR George Pickens (knee, calf) was limited in Tuesday's practice. He got banged up late in last week's win over the Eagles but was able to return. Pickens should be fine for Thursday's game vs. the Chiefs, but we'll see how he's listed on the final injury report tomorrow.

Dallas' offense started sluggishly in Sunday's win over the Eagles, failing to cross the 50-yard line until its third possession and fumbling that one away. Philadelphia jumped to a 21-0 lead before the middle of the second quarter, and QB Dak Prescott followed that third enemy score by throwing an INT into the end zone. But he rebounded big time from there to rack up 354 yards, 2 TDs and a rushing score. The game finished with his second-best fantasy score of the season and the third-best among QBs for the week (with Monday night's game left to go). Prescott now ranks among the top 5 per-game scorers at the position for the season (depending on your format).

Cowboys WR CeeDee Lamb should have posted a much better fantasy line than he did in Sunday's win over the Eagles. He did manage 75 yards on 4 catches, but Lamb drew a team-high 11 targets in the contest. Pro Football Focus charged him with two drops, including one in the end zone. (Others had him for three in the game.) That's a particularly interesting point, because Lamb had a similar issue at Philadelphia in the opener. For the season, PFF has charged Lamb with eight drops in eight games. Six of those have come against the Eagles.

When the Cowboys visited Philadelphia to open the season, WR George Pickens tallied just 3 receptions in his first game with the team. Dallas channeled bigger target loads to CeeDee Lamb and Jake Ferguson in that game. But Pickens made a much larger impact on Sunday's rematch victory. He snagged all nine of his targets for a game-high 146 yards and a TD. It was Pickens' second straight game with 9 receptions and at least 144 yards. It was his fourth consecutive week with at least nine targets.

The Cowboys are sending a 2026 second-round pick and a 2027 first-rounder to the Jets for DT Quinnen Williams. The 27-year-old (until late December) is under contract through 2027.

The Cowboys finally figured out what their defense has been lacking, and it's a LB not even good enough to start for the Bengals. Dallas is trading a seventh-round pick to Cincinnati for LB Logan Wilson. The 29-year-old spent most of the past five years starting for the Bengals, but rookie Barrett Carter replaced him in the lineup in Week 6 and has remained the corps leader in playing time since then.

Cowboys RB Jaydon Blue is a healthy scratch for tonight's game vs. the Cardinals. The rookie seemed to be building a little momentum as Dallas' No 2 RB, but the team will instead roll with RBs Hunter Luepke and Malik Davis behind lead back Javonte Williams in this one.
