Cameron Erving Fantasy Stats

Dallas Cowboys offensive tackle Cameron Erving (knee) was placed on Injured Reserve on Friday. Erving missed five weeks earlier this year with a knee injury and also didn't play in the Week 13 loss to the Ravens. He'll have to sit out for at least the next three weeks, so with four weeks left to play in the regular season, Erving may have played his last snap of the 2020 season. Dallas' offensive line has been extremely beat up this year, with offensive linemen Zack Martin, La'el Collins and Tyron Smith all on Injured Reserve as well. It has really made life hard on running back Ezekiel Elliott, especially with quarterback Dak Prescott (ankle) out for the year as well. But against Cincinnati's poor rush defense in Week 14, Elliott will have clear RB1 upside.

The Dallas Cowboys placed offensive lineman Cam Erving on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Monday, but he hasn't tested positive but isn't feeling well, according to a source. As we enter the cold and flu season, it's part of the NFL protocols that are expected to become more of a factor for teams and players. Anyone with symptoms of COVID-19 will be held out as a precaution. The NFL is taking more precautions with COVID-19 cases on the rise around the country, and it'll cause more uncertainty surrounding players with illnesses. Don't take for granted that a player will be available for your starting lineups if he's diagnosed with a non-COVID-19-related illness.
