DeMarcus Lawrence Fantasy

Dallas Cowboys defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence (rib) was injured in Week 17 against the Redskins and is questionable to return. It's bad news for a Cowboys Defense in a must-win game against Washington, but the Cowboys may not even need him in the second half to beat the 'Skins, as they are up 20-10 at halftime. Coming into the game, the 27-year-old had 45 total tackles (30 solo), five sacks, two forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries. It's been a disappointing season for Lawrence after he had 25 sacks in the previous two seasons combined. If Dallas wins and the Eagles lose, Lawrence could be questionable to play in the wild-card round.

Dallas Cowboys defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence (shoulder) is expected to come off the Physically Unable to Perform list soon, according to a source. He will be limited at first but is still hoping to be ready for Week 1 against the Giants. The 27-year-old is the team's best pass rusher after racking up 25 sacks in the last two seasons. His health and production will be big for Dallas' D. Even if Lawrence winds up missing the regular season opener, he's worth a high selection in IDP leagues.

Dallas Cowboys defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence (shoulder) says his plan is to be ready for Week 1 of the regular season. The veteran defensive lineman is about three months into an expected four-to-six month recovery after surgery to repair a torn labrum. He's one of the safest bets in the NFL to not see any preseason playing time, but as long as his recovery continues as planned, he should be able to avoid starting the season on the PUP list.
