Dallas' Week 5 win over the Jets exposed the Cowboys’ depth while highlighting two key injuries. Jack Sanborn left with a concussion and was ruled out at halftime, with rookie Shemar James stepping in at linebacker. Donovan Wilson posted eight tackles before leaving late in the fourth, leaving his Week 6 status in question. Dallas had already shuffled the offensive line coming into the game, underscoring how quickly injuries can shift both sides of the ball.

For fantasy managers, James’ elevated snap count could mean more IDP upside in the near term, while Wilson’s health could widen safety usage and test the Cowboys’ defensive depth. Monitor updates as the Cowboys navigate a crowded schedule and a reshuffled lineup in upcoming games.

Packers' finishing clock betrayed them in Dallas as overtime drifted into a one-second sprint. A late Love drive, a flat pass to Golden, and a final incomplete pass kept Green Bay from stealing a win, setting up a game‑tying kick by Brandon McManus. LaFleur owned the miscue, saying the operation was too slow and the two‑minute sequence lacked urgency. Despite the stumble, Love’s growth and the Packers' young receivers offered fresh fantasy angles as they head into the bye at 2-1-1.

In the first half, Green Bay nearly went up 14-0 before a strip-sack turned into a Cowboys TD and a halftime deficit. The bye arrives with questions about clock discipline and execution, but optimism remains: Love connected with Doubs, Kraft and Golden, while Emanuel Wilson contributed in the ground game. The defense held Dallas late, leaving fantasy managers with a mix of caution and upside.

Dallas and Green Bay staged a 40-40 OT thriller, with Dallas owner Jerry Jones once thinking the game was over after a Sanborn deflection kept the clock alive. The shootout underscored a quarterback duel that fantasy managers love, as Prescott and Love each logged three TDs and 300+ yards. The result preserves the high-scoring appeal of both offenses while leaving some playoff momentum in limbo.

From a fantasy lens, Prescott’s 319 yards and three TDs on 31-of-40 attempts set a ceiling for weeks ahead, while Love’s 337 yards and three TDs on 31-of-43 reinforces his upside in favorable spots. Sanborn’s late stop was the lone non-offensive headline, but the game reinforced the value of streaming the top QBs in shootouts and staying patient with offense-first matchups.

The OT pause, and Jones’ take on rules, highlighted how this kind of game draws eyes and fantasy rosters alike. The Cowboys’ high-powered attack and the Packers’ aerial efficiency should keep owners chasing days like this, even as wins and losses slip through the ties.

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.
