Cowboys' biggest offseason mistake exposed in secondary's NFL Week 2 debacle

Dallas rode an overtime victory over New York, but the win masked a glaring issue: the safety depth and back-end coverage cratered under a wave of deep balls. Russell Wilson carved Dallas for 450 yards and three TDs, largely on throws over 20 yards, as Donovan Wilson and Malik Hooker were repeatedly out of position. Dallas even released Israel Mukuamu before Week 1, signaling a risky reliance on a thin secondary. Fantasy outlook: monitor Cowboys safeties and opposing deep-ball targets; matchup-driven streaming and risk management loom in the weeks ahead.

With Dallas' secondary under pressure, should fantasy managers chase a Cowboys defensive streamer in Week 3 or target deep-ball offenses against them?Given the Cowboys’ safety concerns, how should you adjust redraft lineup risk for Week 3?Which offensive players are best positioned to exploit Dallas’ improved but still vulnerable deep coverage in upcoming weeks?Would you prefer Dallas’ defense or a high-upside DV offense in Week 3 as a tournament-oriented pick?

Dallas Cowboys top plays & highlights from Week 2 vs New York Giants

Dallas outlasted the Giants 40-37 in OT, with Brandon Aubrey lifting the Cowboys with a 64-yard game-winner and threatening from even longer. Donovan Wilson iced the win with an OT interception as Dak Prescott closed out the affair with a decisive 14-yard rush that shifted field position and momentum. George Pickens delivered a fourth-quarter TD and Javonte Williams added a 30-yard score to fuel a dramatic comeback.

Fantasy angles point to Aubrey as a must-have kicker in all formats, Prescott’s late rushing adds a floor, and Williams and Pickens offer solid weekly ceiling with Dallas’ offense clicking. Wilson’s turnover upside hints at additional defensive value for IDP rosters. Week 2 reinforces how one big play can swing lineups and ownership in fantasy football across kickers, QBs, and skill players.

Which Cowboys players saw the clearest fantasy breakout from Week 2 and should be added now?How does Aubrey's leg distance influence lineup decisions for Week 3?What impact does George Pickens' integration have on the Cowboys' WR corps for fantasy?What should fantasy managers project for Javonte Williams given his early-season volume?

Cowboys learned they need improved game plans in Week 2 vs Giants

Cowboys Week 2 vs Giants exposed a need for scheme tweaks on both sides. Dallas must avoid coasting offensively, bring back motion and creativity, and clean up drops from Lamb, Ferguson, Tolbert. The defense showed rough coverage with Bland out and relies on a potential schematic shift to keep Diggs, Wilson and teammates sharp. Week 3 pivots hinge on better hands and smarter play design to fuel fantasy upside.

Which Week 2 coaching decision most limited Dallas and how should they fix it in Week 3?With Bland out, which Cowboys corners should fantasy players target for Week 3 leverage?Which Cowboys pass-catchers should fantasy managers watch for a Week 3 bump beyond Lamb?Does Prescott's fantasy trajectory hinge more on protection or expanded target distribution beyond Lamb?

Russell Wilson undercuts great game with killer INT in Giants loss

Russell Wilson undercuts great game with killer INT in Giants loss

Giants’ Sunday in Dallas looked like a pass-happy showcase by Russell Wilson, who racked 450 yards and 3 TDs before an overtime interception doomed New York’s hopes in a 40-37 shootout loss to Dallas. Nabers erupted for 167 yards on nine catches with two TDs, while Wan’Dale Robinson added 142 yards and a score, showing fantasy upside in a high-volume Giants attack. Daboll/Schoen’s club also displayed timely mistakes—14 penalties for 160 yards and key red-zone miscues—that underscored coaching and discipline concerns as they prep for a Week 3 visit from Kansas City.

With Wilson’s 450-yard day but a costly overtime turnover, how should fantasy managers recalibrate confidence in him for Week 3 against Kansas City?Dart’s limited appearance in this game raises questions about a two-QB plan. How should fantasy managers hedge in Week 3 and beyond?The Giants’ 14 penalties for 160 yards marked a recurring issue. How should this influence DFS projections and game planning?Given Nabers’ monster line and the looming KC challenge, how would you prioritize Nabers vs Robinson for week-to-week upside?

Dallas survived a back-and-forth classic with the Giants, 40-37 in overtime at AT&T Stadium. Brandon Aubrey tied it with a 64-yard field goal at the horn and then delivered the winner from 46 yards in OT after Dak Prescott recovered a late snap. Prescott anchored the comeback, connecting with CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens, while Miles Sanders punched in two scores. Donovan Wilson’s OT interception sealed the win, with big early-game moments from Nabers for NYG and a charged atmosphere after a quiet moment honoring Charlie Kirk.
