QUARTERBACKS
| Player | Att. | Comp. | Yards | TD | INT | Rush | Yards | TD | Points |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dak Prescott | 558.3 | 374.1 | 4159.3 | 30.71 | 13.96 | 63.7 | 261.2 | 1.91 | 298.87 |
| Cooper Rush | 35.6 | 21.5 | 247.4 | 1.37 | 0.68 | 7.3 | 11 | 0.11 | 15.78 |
Dak Prescott: Prescott missed five games after getting injured in the season opener. From Week 7 (when he returned from injury) through the end of the season, Prescott was fantasy's QB6 — QB7 on a PPG basis. Even without Dalton Schultz as a security blanket, Prescott's overall weapons are improved with a better WR2 (Brandin Cooks). In addition, Michael Gallup should be better, now that he's another year removed from his ACL tear.
RUNNING BACKS
| Player | Att. | Yards | TD | Rec. | Yards | TD | Points |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tony Pollard | 201.1 | 945.2 | 6.44 | 45.9 | 372.4 | 2.4 | 207.75 |
| Malik Davis | 96.8 | 406.6 | 2.42 | 9.7 | 70.5 | 0.5 | 70.08 |
| Deuce Vaughn | 49 | 205.8 | 1.1 | 15.4 | 112.4 | 0.8 | 50.92 |
| Ronald Jones II | 58.8 | 252.8 | 1.47 | 8.9 | 61.7 | 0.4 | 47.12 |
Tony Pollard: Sharing the workload with Ezekiel Elliott, Pollard rushed for 1,007 yards and nine touchdowns and added 39 catches for 371 yards and another three touchdowns. With Elliott no longer on the roster (although there is at least a chance the still-unsigned Elliott could return), Pollard enters 2023 as a mid-tier RB1 in fantasy drafts.
Malik Davis: Maybe the Cowboys will bring back Ezekiel Elliott, who is still a free agent, but as The Athletic's Jon Machota wrote in June, Davis is "the most likely candidate to back up Pollard." Since then, Ronald Jones II was suspended for two games. Davis had 38 carries for 161 yards and a touchdown last season in addition to six catches for 63 yards.
WIDE RECEIVERS
| Player | Rec. | Yards | TD | Rush | Yards | TD | Points |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| CeeDee Lamb | 104 | 1262.5 | 9 | 9.8 | 71.1 | 0.39 | 241.7 |
| Brandin Cooks | 68.8 | 841.7 | 6.1 | 2 | 12.5 | 0.08 | 156.9 |
| Michael Gallup | 46.5 | 636.8 | 4.7 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 115.13 |
| Jalen Tolbert | 14 | 169.7 | 1.2 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 31.17 |
| KaVontae Turpin | 6.5 | 83.7 | 0.6 | 1.5 | 8.6 | 0.06 | 16.44 |
| Simi Fehoko | 3.8 | 44.1 | 0.3 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 8.11 |
CeeDee Lamb: After Amari Cooper was traded to the Browns last offseason, Lamb stepped into the WR1 role and shattered previous career highs with 107 receptions for 1,359 yards and nine touchdowns on 156 targets. Lamb finished as fantasy's WR6 in half-PPR scoring in 2022, and he was the WR3 from Weeks 7-18 when Dak Prescott returned from injury.
Brandin Cooks: Now onto his fifth NFL team, Cooks has logged six 1,000-yard seasons, at least one of which came with all four of his previous teams. Coming off a disappointing 57/699/3 season in 2022, Cooks should improve upon last year's numbers and is a viable fantasy WR3.
Michael Gallup: Gallup missed only the first three games of 2022, but his production was abysmal (39/424/4 in the regular season). Including two playoff games, he had less than 50 receiving yards in 15 of 16 games. Getting back to an 1,100-yard season (2019) is highly unlikely, but he should be better in 2023 now that he's another year removed from his torn ACL.
TIGHT ENDS
| Player | Rec. | Yards | TD | Rush | Yards | TD | Points |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jake Ferguson | 32.6 | 341.5 | 2.7 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 66.65 |
| Luke Schoonmaker | 23.7 | 249 | 2 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 48.75 |
| Peyton Hendershot | 12.9 | 132.2 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 25.67 |
| Sean McKeon | 2.8 | 28.6 | 0.3 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 6.06 |
Jake Ferguson: The Cowboys used a second-round pick on Luke Schoonmaker, but I expect Ferguson to pace the position group in receiving now that Dalton Schultz is in Houston. Even so, it's unlikely that Ferguson, Schoonmaker or any Cowboys tight end becomes fantasy-relevant in standard-sized leagues in 2023.
