Dallas Cowboys quarterback Cooper Rush had a solid showing in the 30-14 win over the Carolina Panthers. Rush only turned the ball over once on a lost fumble and tossed three touchdowns. He completed 18-of-29 passes for 214 yards, helping the Cowboys notch their sixth win of the season. Rush will be back in action in another solid matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday night for Week 16, likely landing in QB2 range again.
Dallas Cowboys quarterback Cooper Rush is coming off of a shaky performance against Cincinnati. The career backup is in low QB2 range this week against a Carolina Panthers' defense that has slowly improved since an atrocious start to the season. Even so, it is still one of the league's worst defensive units. With that being said, Rush showed last week that he cannot be trusted even in the softest of matchups. With a further beaten up offensive line, Rush should not be started this week.
Dallas Cowboys quarterback Cooper Rush did not have his finest outing on Monday night in the narrow loss to Cincinnati. Rush completed just over 50% of his passes for 183 yards, two touchdowns, and an interception. He finished as the QB15 on the week in what was a very favorable matchup. The 31-year-old will be under center next Sunday as Dallas travels to Carolina to take on a surging Panthers team.
Dallas Cowboys quarterback Cooper Rush has been up-and-down since stepping in for Dak Prescott (hamstring) in Week 9. Rush has generally performed well in softer matchups, and he has a very soft one on Monday night as the Cowboys take on the Cincinnati Bengals' 30th-ranked pass defense. While playing him in formats that only utilize one starting quarterback may be a stretch, he is a viable option as a high-end QB2 in Week 14.
Dallas Cowboys quarterback Cooper Rush won the battle of backups on Thanksgiving by a score of 27-20 over the New York Giants. The Central Michigan product finished the game with 195 yards and one touchdown on 21-for-36 throwing. He also had five carries for zero yards and one fumble which he recovered. His touchdown pass came during the early parts of the third quarter where he found Brandin Cooks in the end zone to take a 20-10 lead at the time. Rush will look to build a little winning streak as they take on the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 14.
Cooper Rush An Option In Two-Quarterback Leagues In Week 13
Dallas Cowboys quarterback Cooper Rush (knee) is off the injury report and ready to go in Week 13. Rush has played well over his last two games. He has averaged 300.5 yards per game and thrown three touchdowns over that span. He has scored at least 17.36 fantasy points in both games. While he is not going to win you your week with those numbers, he is a solid QB2. With no teams on a bye in Week 13 and no major quarterback injuries at the moment, Rush should not be started in one-quarterback leagues. However, he is a high-end No. 2 option in two-quarterback leagues. The Cowboys host the New York Giants on Thanksgiving in Week 13. The Giants are No. 24 against quarterbacks in fantasy. The Cowboys offense has had trouble scoring points under Rush, but this feels like a game in which Rush could push for multiple touchdown passes and limit his turnovers. Most importantly, Rush should support the production of wide receiver CeeDee Lamb and tight end Luke Schoonmaker. Both players should see plenty of target volume and should not have too difficult of a time in Week 13.
CeeDee Lamb Looks To Continue Momentum With Cooper Rush
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb (back/foot) is off the injury report and ready to go for Thanksgiving Day. He has received 12 targets in each of his last two games. His reception baseline is keeping him afloat in fantasy football because he has not scored a touchdown since Week 8. With quarterback Cooper Rush behind center in place of Dak Prescott (hamstring), Lamb has yet to have a signature boom game. The Giants are the No. 14 defense against opposing wide receivers in fantasy this season. This is a neutral matchup for Lamb, but his target volume alone is going to ensure that he remains at least a high-end WR2. Although Rush has played well over the last two weeks, he does not seem able to lead the Cowboys' offense to high point totals. That will continue to limit Lamb's fantasy output. This game could be a gritty intra-divisional matchup. The Giants are in turmoil as a team, but the Cowboys have severely underperformed this season. Even so, there is no benching Lamb in this matchup. Given that it is a high-profile Thanksgiving game, Lamb could go off at any minute. Fire him up with confidence this week.
Dallas Cowboys quarterback Cooper Rush (knee) is expected to play on Thanksgiving despite being limited in practice the last two days. Rush was injured in the Cowboys' Week 12 win over the Washington Commanders. However, the words of encouragement regarding his status for Week 13 against the New York Giants is excellent for fantasy managers rostering wide receiver CeeDee Lamb and tight end Luke Schoonmaker. Rush has been mostly solid since he took over as the Cowboys' starting quarterback in Week 10. He had a disastrous outing in Week 10, but he has thrown for at least 247 yards in each of his two games since then. Rush has always provided a solid fantasy floor for skill position players in Dallas' offense when he has been called upon to start in place of Dak Prescott (hamstring). Hopefully, Rush's injury will not limit him in Week 13 and he will be able to continue providing fantasy managers with the value they seek from Lamb and Schoonmaker.
Dallas Cowboys quarterback Cooper Rush (knee) is on the team's Week 13 injury report and was listed as limited on Monday's estimated injury report. "He's got some work to do, but I think we're gonna be fine," head coach Mike McCarthy said. Rush appears to be a little banged up after a hard-fought upset win over the division-rival Washington Commanders on Sunday, but he should be ready to go by Thursday for the Thanksgiving contest against the division-rival New York Giants. The 31-year-old was awful in his first start in the Week 10 loss to the Eagles, throwing for just 45 yards. But he's been better the last two weeks, going a combined 56-for-87 (64.4%) for 601 yards, three TDs and one interception against the Texans and Commanders. If he's active, Rush will have some upside as a QB2 in Week 13 against the Giants.
Cooper Rush Has Best Outing Of Season In First Win
Dallas Cowboys quarterback Cooper Rush played well on Sunday in the thrilling 34-26 win over the Washington Commanders. Rush completed 24-of-32 passes for 247 yards and two scores while scrambling four times for a yard in his first win of the season under center for Dallas. Rush will be in QB2 range off a short week heading into Thursday's Thanksgiving matchup with the New York Giants.
