Trevon Diggs Not Guaranteed To Be Ready For Start Of Next Season

Dallas Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones said on 105.3 The Fan on Monday that cornerback Trevon Diggs (knee) will have surgery to fix an issue in his articular cartilage, and his recovery could take up to eight months. The expectation is that Diggs won't be ready for the start of training camp, but there's a chance he could be ready for the start of the regular season. Diggs' injury is related to fluid in his knee and subsequent cartilage problems. The 26-year-old defensive back made back-to-back Pro Bowls in 2021 and 2022 and was an All-Pro in 2021, but he's had back-to-back injury-plagued years now and has played in a combined 13 games in that span. In 11 starts in 2024, he had 42 tackles (35 solo), two interceptions and 11 pass breakups. Diggs had a league-high 11 picks in 2021 but has six in three years since.

Jalen Brooks Scores First Career Touchdown In Blowout Win

Dallas Cowboys second-year wide receiver Jalen Brooks hauled in the first touchdown of his career late in the Week 15 win over Carolina. The South Carolina product has seldom been used over the majority of his first two seasons, but he has made noise in the preseason and looked good on the 17-yard touchdown connection with Cooper Rush. He is not on the fantasy radar, but will be worth monitoring for deep dynasty leagues in the event that he earns more of a role going forward.

Jalen Tolbert Secures Touchdown In Win

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Jalen Tolbert hauled in his fifth touchdown of the season in the 30-14 win over Carolina. The third-year receiver was targeted twice, catching his lone pass in the end zone for 11 yards. Tolbert's usage has not been consistent with both Brandin Cooks and Jake Ferguson in the lineup, keeping him off the fantasy radar for the time being.

Jake Ferguson Quiet Again In Week 15 Win

Dallas Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson did not make much of an impact in his second game back since missing two games due to a concussion. Ferguson was targeted four times, catching two passes for 23 yards in the Week 15 win over Carolina. The third-year tight end just does not seem to have the same connection with quarterback Cooper Rush that he has with Dak Prescott (hamstring). Ferguson will continue to be a dart throw option moving forward, but still has not found the end zone in the 2024 campaign.

Brandin Cooks Hauls In Three Catches In Week 15

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Brandin Cooks was second on the team behind CeeDee Lamb in receiving yards in the 30-14 win over Carolina. Cooks was targeted five times, catching three passes for 34 yards. Cooks is not currently on the fantasy radar despite being second or third in the pecking order most weeks given how concentrated the Dallas offense is on Lamb and running back Rico Dowdle. The veteran should be rostered by Lamb managers as a handcuff over the final weeks of the season, but serves no further use in most formats at this time.

CeeDee Lamb Clears 100 Yards In Week 15

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb again led the team in all receiving metrics as the clear go-to receiver for quarterback Cooper Rush. Lamb was targeted 13 times, catching nine balls for 116 yards and a touchdown. He connected with Rush for the first score of the game, a 14-yard touchdown reception. The star receiver will again be a top option in Week 16 against Tampa Bay on Sunday Night Football.

Rico Dowdle Smashes Career-High Again

Dallas Cowboys running back Rico Dowdle has now run for a career-high amount of rushing yards in three straight weeks. The 26-year-old is enjoying a breakout in his fifth NFL season, his first with an extended role. Dowdle rushed 25 times for 149 yards in the Week 15 win over the Carolina Panthers, taking advantage of a strong rushing matchup. He did not record a target in the dominant victory. Dowdle and the Cowboys will be back in action next Sunday night against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, a tougher matchup on the ground than the previous few.

Cooper Rush Remains Poised In Week 15 Win

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.

Eric Kendricks Active In Week 15 Despite Missing Practices

Dallas Cowboys linebacker Eric Kendricks (shoulder, personal) is active for Sunday's game against the Carolina Panthers. He had been listed as questionable, and there was some concern about his availability after he missed all three practices this past week. In the end, though, the veteran defender will suit up for the Cowboys' first away game since Week 12. Kendricks has been productive in his age-32 season, registering 119 tackles, three sacks, three forced fumbles, one fumble recovery, and one interception through 12 total games.

Jalen Tolbert Has Risky Flex Value

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Jalen Tolbert is coming off his worst performance of the season during last week's loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. Tolbert was held without a catch on three targets in the seven-point defeat. The 25-year-old has seen his playing time take a hit with Brandin Cooks returning to the field two weeks ago. Since then, Tolbert has seen less than 72 percent of the offensive snaps in each of the last two games. Tolbert has been held to two receptions or less in each of the last four games. It's tough to imagine Tolbert having reliable value going forward with Cooks and CeeDee Lamb both healthy.

KaVontae Turpin Avoidable For Week 15

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver KaVontae Turpin remains a shaky fantasy option ahead of the Week 15 matchup against the Carolina Panthers. Last week, Turpin hauled in one of his four targets for 16 yards in the loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. He also rushed the ball twice for 15 yards, but he only saw 17 percent of the offensive snaps. The return of Brandin Cooks has pushed Turpin further back on the depth chart in recent weeks. It's hard to imagine Turpin making much of an impact as the fourth or fifth wideout in this offense.

Micah Parsons Potentially Available Via Trade

Dallas Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons, who is under contract through 2025, could be available for trade if the team does not want to add another massive extension to its payroll, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. As Rapoport explains, the Cowboys already have significant money tied up with Dak Prescott and CeeDee Lamb, so while Dallas wants to keep Parsons locked up long-term, it could be more productive to trade him and then sign free agents from a lower tier of linebackers. Parsons and executive Stephen Jones have both publicly expressed a desire to keep him in Dallas long-term, but privately, Rapoport believes he could be available for trade. A swap for Parsons would be historic and return compensation could exceed the 2018 Khalil Mack trade, which included a pair of first-round picks.

Trevon Diggs Out For Season With Knee Injury

Dallas Cowboys cornerback Trevon Diggs will miss the Cowboys' Week 15 game against the Panthers and will have season-ending knee surgery according to a report from Jay Glazer. It's another big injury for Dallas which has been decimated by big-time ailments this season. Diggs has 42 tackles (35 solo tackles) this season with two interceptions in 11 games this season. The Cowboys, already without quarterback Dak Prescott for much of the season, take on Carolina in Week 15. Dallas' lost season is getting much bleaker on the injury front with Diggs' season-ending injury.

Brandon Aubrey Has Safe Floor In Week 15

Dallas Cowboys kicker Brandon Aubrey was perfect again last week in the narrow loss to Cincinnati, drilling 2-of-2 field goal attempts and 2-of-2 extra point attempts. He draws a good matchup this week against the Carolina Panthers, who have allowed the fifth-most fantasy points to opposing kickers in 2024. Even with how inefficient the offense has been with Cooper Rush under center, Dallas is bound to score some points in Week 15. Aubrey is a safe option against Carolina.

Jake Ferguson Grades As High-End TE2 In Week 15

Dallas Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson still has not found the end zone in the 2024 campaign. With that being said, he is still the second option in the passing game behind CeeDee Lamb (shoulder) and is set to take on Carolina's 32nd-ranked defense against opposing tight ends. Ferguson has a low floor but also a potentially high ceiling this week as he continues to search for his first touchdown of the 2024 campaign. With how shallow the tight end position is, he can be started.

Brandin Cooks Off Fantasy Radar In Week 15

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Brandin Cooks is not in consideration to slot into starting lineups this week with all weapons looking healthy for the team. CeeDee Lamb (shoulder) and Jake Ferguson are both good to go, making Cooks the third option in a low-ceiling passing attack despite a decent matchup with Carolina's secondary. The veteran is a touchdown-dependent option and he has scored a touchdown in each of the last two games. Given that, he does not have a high ceiling as he has recorded just 19 yards over the last two games.

No Injury Designation For Rico Dowdle In Week 15

Dallas Cowboys running back Rico Dowdle (knee) fully practiced all week but was on the injury report as a full participant. He will enter Week 15's matchup with the Carolina Panthers with no injury designation. Carolina has allowed the most points to the running back position this season, making Dowdle an RB1 option coming off of back-to-back 100-yard rushing performances. Fantasy managers should not hesitate to plug him into lineups this week.

Cooper Rush Grades As QB2 Option In Week 15

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.

Trevon Diggs Labeled As Questionable Again

Dallas Cowboys defensive back Trevon Diggs (knee) has been designated as questionable yet again for this weekend's road meeting with the Carolina Panthers. The former second-round pick has dealt with many injuries this season but missed just three games thus far. Diggs picked up the knee issue between Weeks 11 and 12, and it has prohibited him thus far from logging a full practice session. The 26-year-old played last Monday despite the questionable tag -- participating on 100% of the Cowboys' defensive snaps. However, it's worth noting that he was downgraded to a non-participant this past Friday. With teammate Jourdan Lewis (hamstring) also uncertain for Week 15, Dallas could be in danger of being down two of their top three cornerbacks. If Diggs is deemed inactive, teammate Amani Oruwariye figures to shoulder at least some of the snap load. Fantasy managers will want to keep tabs on the veteran over the next day or so.

Jaycee Horn Gets Questionable Tag Vs. Dallas

Carolina Panthers defensive back Jaycee Horn (groin) is officially questionable for this weekend's home matchup against the Dallas Cowboys. The fourth-year DB suffered the injury in last Sunday's loss to the Philadelphia Eagles -- limiting him to less than 100% of Carolina's snaps for only the third time this season. While Horn has yet to miss a game in 2024 -- something he's failed to do over his first three years -- he could be in danger of doing so in Week 15. Per head coach Dave Canales, the team will check in with the South Carolina product on Saturday to "make sure he's in the right space," as he's been more of a day-to-day case with the ailment. If the 25-year-old cannot play, fellow defensive backs Chau Smith-Wade, Dane Jackson, and Caleb Farley could see elevated usage against the visiting Cowboys.
