Dallas cowboys against the run in fantasy?

[Hambombs]

Anyone have an idea how good they rank against the run on fantasy?

 

[TKOSpikes]

I think they're 11th currently. But they can be run on. Their offense has been so efficient with long drives and they've been playing with the lead a lot, and their opponents abandon the run (a strategy of which I don't agree).

 

[Hambombs]

But are they considered a good run defense?

 

[TKOSpikes]

That's my point. It's tough to tell when guys like Lynch are getting 10 carries. So a good "run defense", no, not like Detroit, Buffalo and Baltimore, but yes, as in we're not gonna give you enough time/snaps to run enough to be productive.

As Foster proved a couple weeks ago. . They can be run on quite well. But The Gmen aren't the Texans when it comes to running the ball, nor is Williams Arian Foster

I think the cowboys defense is gettign too much hype this week... they really dont sack, so your relying everything on turnovers and TDs... This could be a tough week for the cowboys Defense...

I'm not so enthusiastic about Williams. If the Cowboys jump out (which they could easily do at home), you might see a lot of Hillis.

Dallas has given up 3 TDs to RBs; only one to people not named Foster.

Yeah, unfortunately I have to start him in my money league so here's to the Giants D showing up a little and Eli hitting Randle on a long one...............oh yeah, and Williams getting 15-20 touches and averaging 5 YPC. Is that a lot to ask?

I actually considered streaming the Cowboys D this week; chickened out, but it wouldn't surprise me if the Giants end up having a long day...

division game and history is too strong for me to think that it is not going to be a high scoring game... the only way dallas will be a good option is if they get a pick 6 or fumble recovery for 6.... I will be shocked if dallas is a good option without the TD...

I suspect something like: the Cowboys jump out to a 14-point lead. Eli & Co. essentially abandon the run and close it to 14-10, the 'Boys go back up to 21-10, then Romo throws a late second-quarter INT and Eli lands a Donnell TD and it's 21-17 at the half. Similar stuff in the second half. Big fantasy points for everybody except Andre Williams.

That would be outstanding.

Holy Crap, I did start the Cowboys D in one league...3 points.

Yeah, not one of my better moves. :rollseyes:
