Demarcus Lawrence Fantasy

Dallas Cowboys defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence is set to have shoulder surgery on Wednesday, and the procedure comes with a recovery timeline of four to six months. "I'll be ready for the start of the season," Lawrence said. "I'm not worried about. It's just about getting it over with." There's no guarantee that he'll be ready for Week 1, though, making him a candidate for the reserve/Physically Unable to Perform list. Lawrence is the team's best pass rusher, having notched 25 sacks in the last two seasons, so losing him for any amount of time would be a huge blow to the team's defensive line. Lawrence's surgery will make him a bit more risky as an early IDP pick in 2019.

Dallas Cowboys defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence will have surgery on Wednesday to fix a torn labrum in his shoulder and is expected to miss four to six months. It'll put his availability for training camp and the start of the season in jeopardy. Lawrence's plan is to miss the entire preseason and be ready for the season opener. The young pass rusher recently signed a five-year, $105 million deal with the Cowboys. He had 25 sacks the last two seasons and will once again be a strong choice in IDP leagues, although he'll now carry a little bit of risk because of the surgery.
