Dallas @ Philadelphia
Team Totals: Cowboys 24.5, Eagles 20
Eagles DC Vic Fangio lived in nickel against the Cowboys last year, refusing to blitz Dak Prescott and, in turn, forcing him underneath. That approach held Dallas’ veteran to 7.8 fantasy points (QB28) in the season opener and, after trailing 21-0 in the first half of their next matchup, a historic 24-0 run with 9.4 yards per attempt. The team’s performance (or lack thereof) opposite Jonathan Gannon in Lambeau Field left a bad taste in everyone’s mouths, but Dak’s prepped for success here: Case Keenum (QB7), Trevor Lawrence (QB11), and Bryce Young (QB8) all finished as QB1s in this exact spot over the past month. … By now, you know the routine: Javonte Williams will get every touch but, with the team’s offensive line cratering for just 1.4 yards before contact per run (23rd), will have to find the end zone to reach the sky. Bhayshul Tuten’s recent 24/96/0 against the Eagles — an every-down situation where he maximized his yards — is a fair outlook for Williams.
