Top 5 Rushing Matchups
Dallas vs. NY Giants
Dallas's offense heads into 2026 with high expectations. They've established a true No. 1 running back in Javonte Williams, and they have multiple receiving threats to lean on in CeeDee Lamb, George Pickens and Jake Ferguson. The Cowboys have invested heavily in the offensive line over the last several seasons with their two Tylers, 2024 first-round pick Tyler Guyton and 2025 first-round pick Tyler Booker, and the hope is that both of them, along with 2024 third-round pick Cooper Beebe, start to turn the corner, especially with premier left guard Tyler Smith now on IR. 2023 undrafted free agent T.J. Bass, who hasn't played much, will need to step in and replace Smith, which is a significant undertaking that could impact this offense. Williams was excellent last year and will need to be again, having piled up 1,201 yards to prove he can be a true lead back rather than part of a committee, the way he was back in Denver.
