Dallas outlasted New York 40-37 in overtime as Brandon Aubrey drilled a 64-yard FG to force OT and followed with a 46-yard winner. Dru Phillips anchored the Giants' defense with multiple first-down-saving tackles and a pivotal late stand, even as New York piled up 500+ yards for the first time in nearly six seasons. The loss leaves NYG 0-2 in the NFC East this year and 5-20-1 in the division since 2021, while Dallas rides a high-powered offense and reliable kicking. The Giants’ next test is a primetime date with the winless Chiefs in East Rutherford, a true gauge of their week-to-week ceiling. For fantasy, Aubrey’s leg and Phillips’ defensive juice stand out, while NYG’s aerial production hints at a workable floor if the defense tightens in future must-wins.

The Giants racked up 506 yards but couldn’t seal the deal in a wild 40-37 overtime loss to Dallas. Malik Nabers sparked NYG with two red-zone plays and big vertical catches, while Wan’Dale Robinson posted a career-best 142 receiving yards and a TD. Russell Wilson flashed efficient play before two OT miscues ended the comeback. Dallas leaned on Brandon Aubrey’s leg and Javonte Williams’ late scoring runs to snatch the win. Fantasy fallout: Nabers is the clear focal point; Robinson supplies a high ceiling, and Dallas offers reliable kicking upside in close games.

Looking ahead, Nabers and Robinson give NYG a dangerous pair at WR with big-play potential, but the Giants need a second reliable option behind Nabers. DAL’s value rests with Aubrey’s accuracy and Williams’ late-game burst; Tolbert’s motion adds versatility and Ferguson remains a mid-range playmaker in shares. Expect volatility in OT-heavy finishes, so manage rosters with matchups in mind.

Week 1 fantasy decisions hinge on Dak Prescott’s health and aerial volume, the backfield shakeup in Dallas, and strong Week 1 targets across the Eagles. Prescott, Brown, and Smith headline the must-starts, with Williams and Sanders in the mix for mid-range RBs. Goedert and Ferguson provide TE upside, while Elliott stands out as a solid Week 1 kicker play.

Our start-sit guide emphasizes matchup realities: Cowboys-Eagles opens with heavy air-ready ceilings and cautious rushing expectations for Williams, Blue, and Tolbert. The Week 1 Who Should I Start tool offers concise recommendations when comparing these names head-to-head, helping you lock in high-floor, high-ceiling lineups.

Dallas Cowboys special teams open Week 1 with Nick Sorensen steering a veteran-led unit that stresses tone-setting from Aubrey and Wilson, energy from Turpin, and a growing role for Tolbert as rookies adapt. The plan leans on depth, cross-training, and playing fast and simple, especially with kickoff rule changes looming. Aubrey’s captaincy signals reliability; Turpin’s energy drives the return game while veterans anchor coverage.

With more returns possible, decisions hinge on returners, coverage, score, and weather. Sorensen emphasizes roster versatility and sustained leadership to weather injuries and keep units cohesive. The goal is a depth-forward, energy-rich unit that can influence field position and scoring as Week 1 unfolds.
