Overshown was expected to be a centerpiece, but Week 1 kept him out until the second half, limiting his impact. His return could reshape the LB corps, pairing explosiveness with Liufau’s rising potential and altering the Cowboys’ long-term defensive trajectory.

Overshown’s knee injury opens a door for Liufau, with Overshown targeting a return later. His absence accelerates Liufau’s development and could boost early-season tackle opportunities for Liufau’s replacement while the defense tests new personnel under Eberflus’ system.

Overshown, rising Dallas defender, becomes the Cowboys' first No. 0, reviving Agent 0. His jersey swap stems from a family-linked chain of calls through Paxton Anderson to Charlotte Jones, reflecting a branding-driven approach that could boost his early-season role. His No. 0 status signals speed and versatility that could translate into increased IDP and coverage opportunities if he earns his snaps.

Overshown’s return injects speed and coverage versatility at linebacker, offering potential IDP upside as he develops. His presence complements Diggs and Bridges while the overall defense grows more multi-dimensional with Clark in the mix. If Overshown staking a larger role, his tackle and coverage metrics could rise, enhancing fantasy value in standard and IDP formats.

Overshown, coming back from last year’s injuries, could see increased rush and coverage duties as depth at linebacker. For fantasy, his health and role in the base package will determine any speculative season-long defensive value or special-teams impact.
