The Cowboys host the Giants in Week 2 with NFC East stakes high and health a clear factor. DaRon Bland’s foot issue and boot-walked status cloud Dallas’ plans on defense and could force a quicker test for Shavon Revel and depth corners, especially early in 2025. New York arrives with QB identity questions, setting up a matchup that could swing fantasy lineups on the boundary and in the pass rush.

Dallas leans on Dak Prescott, Micah Parsons and Sam Williams to carry the load, while Jadeveon Clowney’s visit adds a potential late-roster dynamic that could reshape edge rotations. If Bland plays, parity on the boundary cushions the defense; if not, Revel’s role grows, elevating other secondary pieces in fantasy considerations as the Cowboys chase a win that could set tone for the division.
