Cooper Rush to Start Week 11 vs Texans, per HC Mike McCarthy


Nobody liked that. The Cowboys offense has gone from solid, to struggling, to downright floundering over the course of three games since the bye, and things hit rock bottom against the Eagles with Cooper Rush averaging two yards per attempt in a game where Dallas looked afraid to run a route past the sticks. As a result, the fantasy values of everyone involved have sunk in dramatic fashion, including Ceedee Lamb’s, who’s just barely getting by relying on sheer volume. Rush is not a fantasy starter or a real life starter by any stretch of the word, and it looks like we could be heading for an offensive product in Dallas that should be avoided at all costs the rest of the way. QB Dak Prescott, while not officially ruled out by the team for the rest of the season, is expected to miss the rest of the games this year with a hamstring avulsion he suffered in Week 9 against the Falcons. As has been the case since the end of last year, help is not on the way for the Cowboys from a personnel perspective. Ceedee Lamb is a risky WR2 play with a trapdoor floor that could bottom out at any time, while the rest of the Cowboys offense will likely find themselves among the players to avoid in the coming weeks. The only hope at this point for anything better than the status quo is a switch to Trey Lance at QB, who has proven to be a less-than ideal starter in limited action, himself.
