The Cowboys return home to AT&T Stadium for Week 2 of the preseason, facing the Baltimore Ravens in a marquee tune‑up that doubles as a barometer for Dallas’ offense and depth. Joe Milton Jr. will start, seeking a more consistent, crisp showing after the opener against the Rams, while Dak Prescott and CeeDee Lamb were visible in uniform during pregame, hinting at timing and rhythm drills with top targets. Jalen Tolbert and Cooper Beebe figure prominently in the notes, with Beebe snapping at center as Dallas tries to stabilize the interior line and Milton tests his chemistry with the pass catchers.

Mazi Smith is highlighted as a league-ready difference-maker who’s entering his third season with no excuses, a storyline that dovetails with the Cowboys’ preseason evaluation of the defensive line and its push‑through potential. The Ravens loom as the Week 2 opponent, and the Dallas contingent is focused on a cleaner, more consistent performance after a mixed first outing. The presence of Milton, alongside Prescott’s re-emergence as a signal-caller and Lamb’s continued elite production, underpins a fantasy lens that will watch Milton’s growth, Tolbert’s route‑running, and Beebe’s snap count as the team tries to translate practice tempo into game-day efficiency.

From a fantasy perspective, Milton’s workload and efficiency will be the spark to watch if he holds the Week 2 lead. Lamb remains a premier target, Tolbert could see more reps as Milton pushes the ball downfield, and Beebe’s center role could unlock smoother interior execution. Prescott’s involvement in pregame and Beebe’s emergence offer clues on how Dallas might deploy its best weapons when the regular season arrives, even as the depth players seek to seize late-summer opportunities against Baltimore.
