Inside The Star
There is no denying the fantasy football season is nearing its peak: the playoffs are approaching, the standings are solidifying, and the top players of the year have emerged.
Still, these last few games before the postseason mean everything to those trying to improve their position or sneak into the playoff picture itself.
The Dallas Cowboys roster has proven particularly helpful in this regard, as their plethora of fantasy-relevant options has carried teams through this season with big point totals; hell, even the kicker has been a fantasy weapon.
Here, we’ll rank Dallas’s fantasy plays this week as they rematch with the Philadelphia Eagles, so you can see who should be in-and-out of your lineup today.
It is hard to deny CeeDee Lamb the top spot in the Cowboys’ fantasy football rankings at this point.
The All-Pro and top fantasy draft pick has been as consistent as can be this season, despite an injury earlier in the campaign and the entrance of another top receiver. This trend should continue against Philadelphia.
While the Eagles are ranked 13th against wide receivers in fantasy, Lamb, despite some critical drops, had 18 points in PPR leagues against them in Week 1.
CeeDee speaks on having FOUR DROPS against the Eagles:
"That’s terrible. I can’t point the finger at anybody else. I take full accountability. … As a player, I pray for moments like that. … I need to catch the damn ball.”

Not only has he shown the ability to eat against the Eagles’ defense before, but he has extra motivation to right the wrongs of his first Philly trip in 2025. Expect at least 15 fantasy points from Lamb in PPR leagues today.
If there is an area where the Eagles’ defense doesn’t excel from a fantasy perspective, it is against running backs. They rank 20th in scoring against the position this season.
For Javonte Williams, this should mean a good day that sees him get in the end zone for the first time since Week 8.
The high-end fantasy RB has proven doubters wrong this season, averaging 16.6 points in PPR leagues, and having 20+ point potential most weeks.
He has produced consistently this year, but things have slipped somewhat in recent weeks; that is going to turn back around at some point, so why not in a huge game like this? I see Williams getting back to his early-season fantasy form against Philly.
Before George Pickens’ fantasy value exploded this season, he struggled to produce against the Eagles in their Week 1 matchup.
