Tyler Booker Fantasy Stats

Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram was told last Friday that Dallas Cowboys offensive guard Tyler Booker (ankle) has been moved to "day-to-day" with his high-ankle sprain. Booker will need to get back on the practice field this week, but "there's a chance" that he'll be able to play in Week 6 on Sunday against the Carolina Panthers. Offensive linemen Tyler Guyton and Tyler Smith are also expected to return this week against Carolina, giving an impressive Cowboys offense an even bigger boost in an exploitable matchup. The Cowboys were able to put up 30-plus points in their Week 5 win over the New York Jets, even without top receiver CeeDee Lamb (ankle). The 21-year-old Booker, a former first-rounder, has already missed Weeks 4 and 5 due to his ankle sprain. With Booker out, T.J. Bass has been serving as the starting right guard.

Dallas Cowboys rookie first-round offensive guard Tyler Booker is being viewed as a Day 1 starter heading into his first NFL season, according to ESPN's Todd Archer. "Whether it's the responsibilities that he has to bring to the huddle or whether it's his communications on the line, he's doing a hell of a job," quarterback Dak Prescott said. "And you can tell this guy is a football player. Guy has a lot of pride standard in what he does." Booker has impressed with his willingness to learn and work during offseason practices and has been with the starters from the first OTA session through minicamp, so it's clear that he's going to be a starting offensive lineman on the interior for Dallas in Week 1 this fall. The 21-year-old was taken with the 12th overall pick in April, and he's expected to immediately replace Zack Martin on the interior at right guard. He's sturdy with size (6-foot-5, 321 pounds) and has long arms.

The Dallas Cowboys signed rookie first-round offensive lineman Tyler Booker to a four-year, $22.553 million deal on Friday that includes a signing bonus of $13 million, sources tell ESPN's Todd Archer. Only second-rounder Donovan Ezeiruaku and fifth-rounder Jaydon Blue remain unsigned for the Cowboys with their rookie camp starting on Friday. Dallas selected the 21-year-old Booker out of Alabama with the 12th overall pick in last week's NFL draft. With Tyler Smith already locked in as the team's left guard, Booker is expected to slide over and start at right guard immediately in his rookie campaign this fall. The 6-foot-5, 321-pounder is a bully on the offensive line and should open up plenty of holes on the right side for what will likely be a running back committee of Javonte Williams, rookie Jaydon Blue and Miles Sanders.

In one of the few surprises of the early portion of the 2025 NFL Draft, the Dallas Cowboys selected Alabama guard Tyler Booker at No. 12 overall. The Cowboys were widely believed to be in the market for a wide receiver to play next CeeDee Lamb, but instead chose to the take the first guard off the board. Booker is a massive man at 6-foot-5 and 321 pounds, and proved to be a complete interior lineman during his time at Alabama. For a team that really struggled in the run game in 2024, the 'Bama product is a Day One starter who should make the Cowboys' line better. Some certainly will feel this was a reach, but after losing Zack Martin to retirement, it was clearly a position the Cowboys didn't want to wait to address.
