“Things couldn’t possibly get worse for the Cowboys” vs. “Things always get worse for the Cowboys.” Sunday, the latter won out. 3-4 with only wins over only Deshaun Watson, Daniel Jones and Justin Fields was bad. 3-5 with a now-injured Dak Prescott is infinitely worse. Just ask the man himself. Prescott was caught on camera saying “we suck.”
It’s impossible to disagree, though then again, we don’t even care about that in fantasy football. The Cowboys’ defense has imploded sans ex-DC Dan Quinn. Surely a team with Prescott and CeeDee Lamb is at least finding itself in weekly shootouts. But there you quickly notice what I didn’t say: Anyone else’s name. A skill corps that was once the envy of the league has become Dak, CeeDee, a tight end and as many also-rans as you could ever hope to find on a supposedly good roster.
Now Dak is hurt and CeeDee (shoulder) has joined him. The QB14 by average fantasy points, Prescott is set to either miss time or play multiple games with limited mobility. That’s a little hard to believe since Prescott has already barely been moving, taking off on only 13 rushes all season. There were warning signs on the Cowboys’ offense heading into the season. All-out collapse still seemed unlikely. It’s here, and only a banged up Lamb, Jake Ferguson and maybe Rico Dowdle belong in fantasy lineups for the time being.

Zeke finally took care of that by skipping one too many meetings and getting himself suspended for Week 9. Enter Dowdle’s second 100-yard effort…
