Cowboys | Extension for Tyler Smith Sat Sep 13, 04:24 PM

Dallas Cowboys CB DaRon Bland (foot) won't play Week 2 against the New York Giants, according to head coach Brian Schottenheimer. The Dallas coach was noncommittal about Bland returning for Week 3, but said he doesn't believe Bland will need a stint on injured reserve, reported Jon Machota of The Athletic.
Footballguys view: Against other offenses, the loss of Bland could be a big deal. Against the Giants, it probably won't matter. After watching how easily the Packers moved the ball through the air against the Commanders - who held the Giants to six points - the Cowboys defense should be ok without Bland. |

Jaydon Blue was expected to compete for a starting job with the Cowboys after they turned over their running backs room. Instead, the fifth-round pick was a healthy scratch in Week 1. Blue, whose work habits were questioned in the offseason by a former Cowboys offensive assistant in the know, has not earned the right to play, coach Brian Schottenheimer said. "He really is talented," Schottenheimer said, "but there is a way you have to perform, especially with a mantra of compete every day. If you're not putting it out there and doing right every day and if you take a step back on a Thursday -- maybe you did great on Wednesday but on Thursday, not saying he did -- that's going to get noticed."
Footballguys view: Schottenheimer all but said it will be up to Blue when he makes his Cowboys debut. "Some of the young guys that were inactive, we've had some of those hard conversations with them," Schottenheimer said. "They understand where they need to go. I have no question that they will respond to that. Will that be this week? I don't know. We'll see." It's possible that Miles Sanders' costly red-zone fumble in the third quarter in the Week 1 loss to the Eagles may have opened the door for Blue to play this week. |

Link to storyDallas Cowboys QB Dak Prescott is not expected to face any discipline from the National Football League for his role in a spitting incident with Philadelphia Eagles DT Jalen Carter Thursday, Sept. 4.
Footballguys view: Prescott tried to sell the story that he spits all over the place all the time and that he was not aiming towards Carter or any Eagles player. While that's difficult to believe, the NFL cannot rule on Prescott's intentions. |

Dallas Cowboys WR Ryan Flournoy reverted back to the practice squad Friday, Sept. 5, after being active for the Week 1 game.
Link to storyDallas Cowboys WR KaVontae Turpin had two receptions (on two targets) for 18 yards against the Philadelphia Eagles on Thursday, Sept. 4. He also added nine yards on two carries.
Link to storyDallas Cowboys RB Javonte Williams carried the ball 15 times for 54 yards and a pair of touchdowns in the team's 24-20 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles on Thursday, Sept. 4. Williams was targeted three times as a receiver, catching two for 10 yards.
Footballguys view: Williams ran with a lot of determination and power and led a game plan that probably changed to exploit the Eagles best defensive player - defensive tackle Jalen Carter - getting tossed before the game began because of a spitting incident. The Cowboys offensive line looked great and while Miles Sanders broke a long run, he was also caught from behind and fumbled deep in Eagles territory. Look for Jaydon Blue to get some touches as soon as the team trusts him. He was probably a scratch out of caution more than a statement about where the team is on the fifth round pick after early reports of a questionable work ethic. Williams is a what the heck flex against the Giants next week, but more importantly, he did good enough, especially in short yardage, to stake his claim to this job going forward. He's not the obvious sell high that some will make him out to be, and not many fantasy players are going to pay much more than Williams dirt cheap cost in drafts. |

Dallas Cowboys QB Dak Prescott completed 21 of his 34 pass attempts for 188 yards in a 24-20 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 1. He added three rushing yards on his lone carry.
Footballguys view: Prescott played much better than his stat line indicates. He was let down by some drops, and both of the team's touchdowns came on the ground. If CeeDee Lamb was more consistent, this could have been a much better fantasy game for Prescott. He'll get the Giants next week, which could prove to be a tough matchup if we see their pass rush neutralize Jayden Daniels on Sunday. |

Dallas Cowboys FB Hunter Luepke received a two-year extension Wednesday, Sept. 3, worth up to $7.5 million.
Link to storyDallas Cowboys WR KaVontae Turpin is likely to be 'more involved' in the team's offense this season, in the opinion of The Athletic's Jon Machota, who notes that Turpin was used 'in a variety of ways' during the preseason, including hand-offs and downfield shots. Machota adds that Turpin is 'in position to have his most impactful season to date.'
Footballguys view: Throughout the offseason, Brian Schottenheimer has made it clear that the Cowboys plan to get the All-Pro return specialist more involved in the offense. Turpin saw reps at wide receiver and running back during OTAs and training camp, and is the front-runner to win the team's WR3 role. USA Today's Cameron DaSilva shares in Machota's optimism: With CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens destined to be 1,000-yard receivers, we shouldn't be surprised if Turpin "turns in an 800-yard (from scrimmage), six-touchdown campaign," DaSilva wrote. While that seems optimistic, fantasy managers should have Turpin on their waiver-wire watchlist heading into the season. |

Dallas Cowboys RB Miles Sanders is listed as the primary backup to RB Javonte Williams on the team's first unofficial depth chart ahead of the Week 1 game against the Philadelphia Eagles.
Footballguys view: Fifth round speedster Jaydon Blue is the #3 back and seventh round power back Phil Mafah is on injured reserve with a designation to return because of a shoulder injury. Williams is the Cowboys back to play if you need to dig deep for a starter in Week 1, but don't expect much vs. the Eagles. This pecking order is subject to change, and Dallas could seek to trade for another back once they see this trio in action. |

Link to storyThe Dallas Cowboys brought back free-agent WR Ryan Flournoy (Cowboys) for their practice squad Saturday, Aug. 30, after he had cleared waivers Friday, Aug. 29.
Footballguys view: A sixth-round pick (Southeast Missouri State) of the Cowboys in 2024, Flournoy impressed on film and in the pre-draft process with an outstanding size/speed/athleticism combination. Flournoy played in 11 games last season as a rookie for the Cowboys, starting one game. His rookie season ended with 10 catches for 102 yards, but Flournoy has the upside to do much more. Now, back with the Cowboys on the practice squad, he can continue to develop his game. Fantasy GMs in deep dynasty formats should be alert to his status. |
Dallas Cowboys RB Javonte Williams is listed as the starter on the team's first official depth chart of the season.
Footballguys view: The Cowboys rushing attack does not strike fear into an opponent. Williams was below average as a starter for the Broncos, and that's likely what he's going to be with his new team in 2025. He's a plodding runner, good in pass protection but only decent as a receiver on screen passes. Miles Sanders and Jaydon Blue will split time behind Williams. |

Dallas Cowboys WR Ryan Flournoy was waived Thursday, Aug. 28.
Footballguys view: The size/speed small school receiver was a sixth round pick last year, but the Cowboys preferred to use the roster spot on the Eagles 2024 fifth round pick, OL Trevor Keegan. The Cowboys only have four wide receivers on the roster after this move. |
