Dallas struggled to slow Philadelphia’s rushing attack in the opener, even after adding Kenny Clark. Mazi Smith sat unused, signaling a cautious staff about his midseason role as they lean on veteran depth to shore up the interior. Dak Prescott endured a see-saw night as Philly piled up yards on the ground, leaving fantasy managers eyeing Dallas’ future interior rotations and backups while the Eagles’ ground game remains a defensive concern for opponents.

Fantasy takeaway: watch desk changes at tackle and how the Cowboys deploy Clark and Parsons as the season unfolds. The Eagles’ offensive line and Jalen Carter’s week-one presence add intrigue for Week 2 matchups, making interior line play a variable in both defensive stances and offensive schemes across fantasy rosters.
