Dallas Cowboys RB Tony Pollard rushed for 79 yards and one touchdown on 13 carries against the Washington Commanders in Week 12. He also caught six passes for 24 yards during the game.
Footballguys view: Pollard had his best fantasy outing since Week 1 and his second strong game in a row, building some confidence in him as at least a good RB2 option heading into a Thursday home game against the Seahawks. |

Dallas Cowboys QB Dak Prescott went 22-for-32 for 331 yards and four touchdowns against the Washington Commanders in Week 12. He also rushed for 10 yards on one carry during the game.
Footballguys view: Prescott was as explosive as expected against maybe the worst pass defense in the league. He has been on a tear since the Cowboys bye, outproducing the pack at quarterback. There are few if any quarterbacks you should play over Prescott next week with a home game against Seattle up on Thursday. |

Dallas Cowboys RB Rico Dowdle (ankle) was limited in practice on Wednesday, Nov. 22, after not practicing the two days prior and is questionable for Week 12.
Footballguys view: This could mean Dowdle doesn't play much if at all against the Commanders on Thanksgiving. If Dowdle is out of action or limited with this ankle injury, it could mean more Tony Pollard. |

Dallas Cowboys PK Brandon Aubrey connected on field goals of 30 and 27 yards in Week 11 against the Carolina Panthers, as he remains perfect 21-of-21 on field goal attempts this season. Oddly enough, he was 3-for-4 on extra points in Carolina, and he has misfired on two of his 31 point-after attempts.

OT Terence Steele (ankle) was limited during practice, while TE Peyton Hendershot (ankle), DT Osa Odighizuwa (hamstring) and WR KaVontae Turpin (shoulder) fully participated in practice. The Cowboys did not hold a practice Monday, so this is an estimation.

Dallas Cowboys RB Tony Pollard rushed 12 times for 61 yards and a touchdown in Week 11 against the Carolina Panthers, while adding four receptions for 19 yards on five targets.
Footballguys view: Pollard was spirited on his first touchdown run since Week 1, so hopefully that will jump start him for the stretch run. It will be tough to leave him on the bench against the Washington defense that let Saquon Barkley break out for two scores and 140 total yards today. |

Dallas Cowboys QB Dak Prescott completed 25-of-38 passes for 189 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions in Week 11 against the Carolina Panthers, while adding two runs for six yards.
Footballguys view: Prescott was still the centerpiece of the offense, but the Cowboys didn't pour it on as heavily as they had in the last few games, so his fantasy output was merely average. Don't let that discourage you from playing him on Thanksgiving against the Washington defense that Tommy DeVito lit up today. |
