Cooper Rush

Lance's gain is Rush's financial loss

Rush, who had started every game since Dak Prescott's hamstring injury, was replaced as the starter by Trey Lance vs. the Commanders

Injuries slowed down a good start to the season for Ferguson, as he finishes with 59 receptions for 494 yards and no scores. He was a top-three receiving option in the offense with Dak Prescott, but his role withered with Cooper Rush. Ferguson ends the season as a stable fantasy TE2, a fantasy outlook managers can buy low on heading into 2025. A healthy Dak Prescott should give Ferguson a higher ceiling, putting him into the top-12 fantasy tight end mix next season.

Lance got the call for his first start in 28 months after spending the season as the Cowboys' No. 3 quarterback. He got off to a fast start, tossing a floater to Jalen Tolbert for 31 yards as his first completion. However, the Cowboys offense floundered the rest of the game, failing to finish many drives in an ultimate loss. Lance played four games in 2024, ending his fourth NFL season as a reserve quarterback with 266 passing yards, one interception, and no touchdowns. The Cowboys have decisions to make with their backup quarterback spot as both Lance and Cooper Rush are set to hit free agency. We have only seen one start from Lance in over two years, making it difficult for him to have any sort of fantasy relevancy moving forward.
