Dallas pulled off a Week 2 title-game-style finish, escaping 40-37 in overtime after Brandon Aubrey buried a 64-yard field goal as time expired to force OT. The win came amid an electric locker room scene with Jerry Jones front and center as Brian Schottenheimer celebrated his first victory as Cowboys head coach. A late Giants drive that produced a go-ahead touchdown with 25 seconds left kept the drama high and left Dallas to answer yet again, while questions linger about the defense after surrendering 37.

For fantasy managers, Aubrey’s history-making kick is the headline hook, but the game also underscored Dallas’s potential ceiling in high-leverage moments and the risk-reward of relying on long-range kicking in outdoor conditions. Russell Wilson and the Giants delivered late, signaling a need to watch the Cowboys’ ability to tighten up after big scoring bursts, while Schottenheimer’s win adds a fresh dimension to Dallas’s attack as the season unfolds.

Six QBs threw for 300+ yards in Week 2, led by Russell Wilson's 450-yard night against Dallas, with Jared Goff tossing five TDs and Lamar Jackson adding four. Allen and Hurts disappointed, while Joe Burrow’s foot injury clouds Week 3. The waiver wire focus centers on under-65% rostered passers and a couple of deep two-QB sleepers. Week 3 streaming paths span 1QB, 2QB, and superflex formats, with Browning serving as a prominent Bengals option when Burrow’s status is uncertain.
