Dallas showed a bruising, disciplined foundation in Week 1, even in a 24-20 loss to Philadelphia. Schottenheimer praised the line's pad level and movement, and noted the group didn't allow a sack behind a top-front, underscoring competitive stamina to echo the whistle. The result mattered less than the tone the tape set for upcoming weeks.

Javonte Williams surged as the energy spark, Marshawn Kneeland flashed consistency, and Kenny Clark injected interior power after Dallas’ acquisition. For fantasy managers, Williams remains the focal point, Kneeland projects as a sturdy IDP option, and Clark’s presence could lift the whole front in future games.
