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.

Dallas must lean on its stars to snap a 0-5 run against Green Bay. Dak Prescott needs crisp, quick-diagnostic throws to beat disguises, while a reshaped run game must set up play-action with Lamb sidelined. Javonte Williams and Jake Ferguson become pivotal outlets, KaVontae Turpin adds explosive edge, and George Pickens must establish early rapport. Brandon Aubrey’s clutch kicking could swing a tight game. Liufau’s speed could unlock coverages, with Clark and Sanborn stabilizing the middle. Dallas aims to reclaim the series lead in prime time.

The Cowboys’ linebacking corps has underperformed, forcing a realignment. Marist Liufau could move to MLB to inject sideline-to-sideline range and faster processing behind Sanborn, with Overshown’s return shaping a future-ready duo. The plan splits snaps to keep Liufau on the field and leverage his versatility, especially in nickel looks, as Dallas searches for coverage answers.

If the shift sticks, Liufau at MLB and Overshown at Will could maximize athletic upside and stabilize the middle while Sanborn shifts into more limited duties. The move hinges on health and Liufau beating Sanborn out for the job, but the potential upgrade to the unit’s coverage and overall versatility is clear for fantasy managers tracking IDP opportunities.

Week 4 fantasy angles hinge on Dallas’ improving health and Green Bay’s ambiguity. Bland and Diggs are back to full participation, boosting DAL’s pass defense and narrowing target trees for Packers receivers. Lamb and Booker inch toward returns, which reshapes Cowboys’ pass volume and red-zone options. Overshown’s helmet-on work signals a potential late-season defensive lift. With Love’s thumb and a raft of GB injuries in play, fantasy decisions should lean on practice signals and matchup-specific upside.

These updates warrant recalibrating WR/CB and IDP projections: DAL corners look closer to Week 1 form, Lamb’s usage may rise as he returns, and Overshown’s timeline could unlock an easier path for DAL linebackers. Packers’ side remains murkier, but Love’s health and GB’s injury stack could drive smarter, risk-aware lineup choices for Week 4.
