Dallas Cowboys

Don't start Dallas' defense this week — without Micah Parsons they aren't getting pressure or creating sacks and takeaways. Only plug them in if your league gives big points for holding teams to few points or you literally have no other option.

Start the Cowboys — the Giants looked terrible on offense, may be missing a key blocker, and Dallas’ pass rush and ball-hawking secondary should create turnovers and steady points. Just know Micah Parsons is out, which mutes their big plays, and if the Giants grind out long runs the game could get low-scoring.

Because the Eagles score a lot and Micah Parsons isn’t playing, sit the Cowboys’ defense this week. Check the injury news — if Parsons is back, you can think about starting them next week against the Giants.

Draft the Cowboys defense in the late rounds as a bench pick you can use some weeks. They still make tackles and get sacks, but won’t usually have big game-changing plays since Micah Parsons left, and people don’t all agree on them.
