Dallas faces the defending champs in Week 1 after a blockbuster move, betting on a youth-led pass rush to fill Micah Parsons' void. Sam Williams, Marshawn Kneeland, and Donovan Ezeiruaku are spotlighted by Dante Fowler Jr. as ready to lift the edge, with new coaches driving their push. The front office remains optimistic the group can generate pressure without Parsons, and Kenny Clark inside could stabilize the run defense as the youngsters grow into larger roles.

The opener signals a test for Dallas' post-Parsons plan and a chance for the young edge to prove itself on a big stage. If the rotation hits, Dallas could transform a controversial trade into a blueprint for the season, with sleeper fantasy upside emerging as the defense evolves under the new scheme.
