Dallas Cowboys tight end Dalton Schultz might not be going anywhere this offseason. The fourth-year tight end could have plenty of interest if he hit the open market. However, the Cowboys are unlikely to let that happen. There are rumors that the Cowboys are going to franchise tag the former fourth round pick. Schultz is coming off a season where he posted 78 receptions, 808 yards, and nine touchdowns in 2021. Only two other tight ends had more catches than Schultz this season. There is a chance he could get paid similar to Hunter Henry last offseason. A deal in the range of three years and $37-40 million. Blake Jarwin is still under contract through 2023 with the Cowboys. His fantasy value would be on the rise if Schultz does end up in free agency. However, fantasy managers are just going to have to wait and see.
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Michael Gallup (knee) has yet to undergo surgery on his torn ACL, per head coach Mike McCarthy. He suffered a clean ACL tear in the Week 17 loss to the Arizona Cardinals. The 25-year-old reportedly will undergo surgery later once the swelling subsides. Gallup will become an unrestricted free agent and may not be ready by Week 1 of the 2022 campaign since he tore his ACL towards the end of the 2021 season. He caught 35 passes for 445 yards and two touchdowns over nine games in 2021. Gallup will look to recover fully, and barring any setbacks, should draw plenty of interest from teams during the offseason. Stay tuned.
Dallas Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones said on Monday that he expects head coach Mike McCarthy to remain the team's head coach after the Cowboys season ended on Sunday in the wild-card loss to the San Francisco 49ers. "Absolutely. Very confident," Jones said. It was a very disappointing end for a Cowboys team that had a solid regular season, but McCarthy is expected to get a chance to fix his playoff disappointment in 2022. However, he could be without both offensive coordinator Kellen Moore and defensive coordinator Dan Quinn, who are both popular head-coaching candidates throughout the league.
Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott (knee) said that he partially tore his PCL this year. Elliott said he won't need offseason surgery on his knee, but it's something that he had to work through during the year. "It's my job," Elliott said. The 26-year-old will be able to rest up after the Cowboys were eliminated by the San Francisco 49ers in the wild-card game on Sunday. Zeke went over 1,000 rushing yards for the fourth time in his six seasons this year, but backup Tony Pollard was more efficient and more explosive most of the time. Give him credit for not missing a single game, but Elliott certainly looked compromised at times this season. He could be more productive if he's in better health in 2022, but Pollard will be back and will continue to pose a threat to Elliott's fantasy upside.
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb was held to one catch for 21 yards during the Wild Card loss to the 49ers. The sophomore was targeted five times on Sunday. However, he couldn't do much with the opportunities afforded to him from Dak Prescott. Nonetheless, while this was arguably one of the worst performances of Lamb's career, he still had a fantastic season and finished as the Cowboys' top receiving option. He has a good chance to retain that crown next year, even though he will continue to battle for targets with Amari Cooper, Ezekiel Elliott, and others.
