DeMarcus Lawrence Fantasy

Dallas Cowboys defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence (knee) hasn't practiced this week and is up in the air for Week 4 against the Browns, but head coach Mike McCarthy said he "anticipates" the pass-rusher playing on Sunday. Lawrence has just eight combined tackles, one pass defensed and no sacks through the first three games of the 2020 season. Dallas will need him to start stepping up if they want to slow down opposing offenses, but that may not happen if he's playing at less than 100 percent health. Even if Lawrence suits up this weekend against Cleveland, we'd suggest looking elsewhere for your starting defensive lineman in IDP leagues.

Dallas Cowboys defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence (knee) is expected to suit up for Sunday's Week 3 contest with the Seattle Seahawks. Lawrence hasn't done a lot in 2020, and while he's a disruptive pass rusher when he's at his best, his impact is likely to be pretty minimal this week based on how his season's began. The Cowboys Defense remains unplayable in all formats -- unless you really want to make a big punt play in a GPP -- because they're facing the extremely dangerous Seattle Seahawks offense.

The Dallas Cowboys signed defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence to a one-year voidable extension on Friday for salary cap purposes, converting $15 million of his 2020 base salary into a signing bonus and clearing $12 million in cap space this year, according to a source. Lawrence is already under contract through the 2023 season. Dallas plans to roll the extra cap space created into next season as they attempt to lock quarterback Dak Prescott into a long-term deal. The Cowboys had $17 million in cap space before freeing up the additional $12 million. The 28-year-old will be a starting defensive lineman in IDP leagues for the Sunday night showdown with the Rams.
