Dallas and Green Bay battled to a Week 4 stalemate, but Jerry Jones highlighted a clear offensive uptick: Dak Prescott is playing with speed and decisiveness, the running game is complementing the passing game, and Brian Schottenheimer’s pre-snap reads are fueling quicker throws. Dallas’ offense looks capable of sustaining momentum, with Dak delivering when the defense isn’t closing gaps. The win’s value is less about the result and more about the ceiling the offense has unlocked.

Defensively, the mood is cautiously optimistic. Jones pointed to reinforcements like DeMarvion Overshown and Donovan Ezeiruaku, plus Jadeveon Clowney, as soon-to-arrive help. Inside, Odighizuwa and Sam Williams flashed, and the unit showed improved interior pressure as the game wore on. With new players likely to join as early as this week, Dallas is hopeful the defense will converge toward its potential while the offense carries the load.

Carolina’s 42-13 loss to New England exposes a beleaguered offense and a shaky head coach in Canales, sending the Panthers tumbling in the early power rankings. Fantasy takeaway: Bryce Young struggles without a reliable ground game, making the offense volatile and risky. The plan for managers is to lean on established playmakers like Adam Thielen and Christian McCaffrey when the offense finds rhythm, while Burns and Clowney can still provide defensive pop. Next up is a home game vs. Miami, a potential rebound spot if Carolina stabilizes its attack.

Dallas sprinted to a 16-13 halftime edge over Green Bay after a whirlwind second quarter. A Trevon Diggs interception is wiped by a 12-man on the field penalty, the Packers rally with Love’s scramble and a Romeo Doubs TD, and Juanyeh Thomas blocks the extra point, with Markquese Bell returning Dallas’ first points of the night. Dak Prescott then connects with George Pickens for a late TD as a James Houston sack and Jadeveon Clowney fumble sequence tees up a dramatic swing.

That sequence reshapes fantasy angles: Pickens and Prescott carry upside when the offense clicks, while Green Bay’s weapons flash in a high-variance shootout. Special teams, turnover luck, and the Cowboys’ big-play defense keep this one interesting for Week 4 rosters and betting angles.
