Every Friday at 3 p.m. ET, DraftKings Sportsbook analyst Steve Buchanan and NFL guru Meghan Townsley chop up the latest injury news on Injury Report Live! Check out what they have to say about this latest injury to Dak Prescott (hamstring).
A bad season for the 3-5 Cowboys turned into a nightmare last Sunday, as both quarterback Dak Prescott and wide receiver CeeDee Lamb (shoulder) were forced to leave mid-game against the Falcons with injuries. While it appears the latter avoided anything serious, the same can’t be said for Dallas’ face of the franchise. The team announced on Friday that Prescott, a three-time Pro Bowler, would be placed on the injured reserve, sidelining him for at least four weeks. To make matters worse, the ‘Boys welcome the 6-2 Eagles to town this Sunday.
Can Dallas find ways to score vs. Philly this week? What kind of production can we expect from their skill position players? Meghan (@mtownsleyy) and Steve (@SBuchanan24) shared their thoughts on Friday’s edition of Injury Report Live:
- Sunday’s matchup against a ferocious Philadelphia defense does backup QB Cooper Rush ($5,100) no favors. A struggling, injured offense taking the field against an elite pass rush is a recipe for disaster.
- Despite the injury concerns, Steve believes plenty of Dallas’ stars are overpriced. Both Lamb ($8,600) and running back Rico Dowdle ($6,100) cost far too much given the questions surrounding this offense.
- If you are going to play any Cowboy this weekend, tight end Jake Ferguson ($5,000) could serve as a safety blanket for Rush.
