Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Amari Cooper (ribs) was injured during the Week 2 win over the Chargers. Head coach Mike McCarthy couldn't provide an update on the star wideout's prognosis, although it certainly isn't ideal considering the team is currently without Michael Gallup (calf), who recently landed on the IR. Nonetheless, Cooper could make an appearance on the practice report heading toward next Monday's rivalry showdown against the Eagles, with some additional days off and limited upcoming practice sessions a realistic possibility. However, if he can't suit up against Philadelphia, CeeDee Lamb will undoubtedly get all the looks he can handle from Dak Prescott in Week 3.
The Dallas Cowboys defense performed surprisingly well in a Week 2 win over the Los Angeles Chargers. The Dallas defensive unit allowed 17 points while recording two sacks and two interceptions. That was good for an even four fantasy points in standard scoring formats, better than their projection in what ended up being a low-scoring, close game instead of the projected offensive shootout. That shootout may come next time on Monday Night Football, when the Cowboys and Philadelphia Eagles face off in Week 3.
Dallas Cowboys kicker Greg Zuerlein was perfect in Week 2, including a last-second game-winning kick against the Los Angeles Chargers. Zuerlein made all four of his kicks, nailing two extra points and two field goals. His first field goal came from 34 yards out at the end of the third quarter, and his second was the game-winner in the last seconds of the fourth quarter, splitting the uprights from 56 yards out. After a tough Week 1, it was good to see Zuerlein kick well in this one. He and the Cowboys will take on the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 3's edition of Monday Night Football.
Dallas Cowboys tight end Dalton Schultz was targeted twice in Week 2, catching both passes for a total of 18 yards. Nominal starting tight end Blake Jarwin did just a little better, catching three balls for 37 yards. Jarwin and Schultz are splitting tight end duties so far this season, which will severely limit the upside and lower the floor of both players. The Cowboys were moving the ball well on the ground in Week 2, leaving the two tight ends in as blockers more often than sending them out as pass catchers. The opposite may be true in Week 3, when the Eagles and Cowboys face off on Monday Night Football.
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Cedrick Wilson, filling in for an injured Michael Gallup (ankle), made two catches for 20 yards in a Week 2 win over the Los Angeles Chargers. Wilson was expected to be much more heavily involved in this one, but the Cowboys ended up relying on their ground game and not doing too much through the air. Still, Wilson was on the field plenty and should see more opportunities in Week 3 when the Cowboys and Philadelphia Eagles face off on Monday Night Football.
