DaRon Bland could miss a couple of weeks with a right foot injury, squeezing the Cowboys at cornerback just as Trevon Diggs is ramping back from knee surgery. Kaiir Elam remains a starter, with Reddy Steward, Trikweze Bridges, and Zion Childress potential depth options, and Jadeveon Clowney visiting for a possible addition. This depth shake-up opens the door for more opportunistic play in Week 2 against the Giants and creates streaming avenues in deeper leagues.

Fantasy takeaways center on Diggs absorbing more nickel work if Bland is out, while Elam’s role stays critical. Steward, Bridges, and Childress could become viable punt plays if their snaps rise. Dallas’ defensive depth will shape Week 2 targets and could influence short-term bid values for defensive players and Week-to-week DFS decisions.
