Cooper Rush Fantasy

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Cooper Rush lost for the first time in his NFL career in a Week 6 game against the Philadelphia Eagles. Rush had played mostly mistake-free football as the fill-in for starter Dak Prescott (thumb), but that all came crashing down in Week 6 against a very obviously well-prepared Eagles defense. Rush completed just 18 of his 38 pass attempts for 181 yards. He threw one touchdown but three interceptions. Under pressure all night, Rush was somehow able to escape without taking a sack, but plenty of throwaways and the three picks had something to do with it. With Prescott expected to be ready for Week 7, Rush will return to his role as the backup quarterback in Dallas.

Dallas Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy said the team is preparing for quarterback Cooper Rush to start in Week 6 against the 5-0 Philadelphia Eagles. Dak Prescott (thumb) is making progress from a fractured right thumb that he suffered in the season opener, and he will throw for the first time on the side at practice on Wednesday. However, the Cowboys aren't rushing Prescott back after Rush has gone 4-0 since taking over under center. Rush went just 10-for-16 for 102 yards, no touchdown and an interception in last week's win over the Los Angeles Rams. The 28-year-old will likely have to throw the ball much more this Sunday night against Philly, but he'll remain nothing more than a low-end QB2 option in superflex leagues for at least another week.

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Cooper Rush remained undefeated in his NFL career after another win in Week 5 over the Los Angeles Rams. Rush acted as a hand-off machine, completing just 10 passes on 16 attempts for 102 yards. He played more mistake-free football, taking three sacks but not allowing any turnovers in a game the Cowboys easily won 22-10. Rush has been riding the Dallas defense to a 4-0 record as a starter and could get one more start in Week 6 if Dak Prescott (thumb) still isn't ready to go.
