Cooper Rush Fantasy

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Cooper Rush was solid in Saturday's preseason game against the Seattle Seahawks. Rush attempted 14 passes, completing nine of them for 96 yards and a touchdown. Rush played clearly better than Will Grier, his main competition for the second spot on the Cowboys quarterback depth chart behind clear starter Dak Prescott. Rush threw the lone Cowboys passing touchdown of the game to running back Rico Dowdle.

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Cooper Rush is signing a new deal with the organization. The two sides agree to a two-year, $6 million contract, including a fully guaranteed signing bonus. Last season, Rush went 4-1 as the starter with 1,051 yards and five touchdowns with three interceptions. The 29-year-old is a consistent enough backup that the team wants to keep him around. However, owner Jerry Jones mentioned the team could add another quarterback this offseason.

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.
