It’s the latest instance of Jerry Jones getting worked on the trade block, and the second time in two years that he’s shipped off a high Day 3 pick to take on a project (the other being Trey Lance). With quarterback Dak Prescott already off to IR with a hamstring injury that will keep him out for at least the next four games, the move frankly doesn’t make any sense for the Cowboys. Cooper Rush is set to be the starter into December, the team is sitting at 3-5, and the odds of a great American comeback from America’s team are already in the toilet. There are real concerns around Rush’s ability to sustain Ceedee Lamb as a fantasy-relevant player, and Lamb is a first-team All-Pro caliber pass catcher. A reclamation project like Mingo – who granted, leaves a Panthers situation that was about as disastrous as any since he entered the league two years ago – isn’t likely to bolster the Cowboys passing game or fantasy teams alike in any meaningful way. Adding to the head scratching going on in the wake of the move is the fact that Brandin Cooks could be ready to return from IR soon, which could further bury Mingo down the depth chart. For what it’s worth, he was an intriguing talent coming out of the 2023 draft class – however, he’s reeled in just one pass for one yard over his pas four games. Fantasy managers shouldn’t consider shelling out any valuable FAAB on him at this point, let alone a fourth-round pick in real life.
