NFL:
Given Charles' injury, who steps into guard duty for DAL in the short term and how might that shift affect fantasy odds for the Cowboys' run game and pass protection?
Qwiket AI:
Short-term, Dallas will lean on their interior backups to fill Charles's snaps, likely elevating a reserve guard to the second-unit. That shift can dampen run-blocking consistency and create potential caveats in pass protection, especially on early-down plays. If a second-string guard earns steady reps, expect modest fluctuations in the run game’s efficiency and AAV-friendly pass set timing.
