Cooper Beebe's high ankle sprain sidelines the Cowboys' starting center for 6-8 weeks, thrusting Brock Hoffman into the lineup and leaving Dallas with a shaken interior. Beebe's absence could curb the Cowboys' run game and threaten pocket efficiency as Hoffman ramps up to speed behind an already unsettled guard duo.

Beebe thrived as a rookie starter, and his early-season 70.4 grading pace and 71.7 run grade underscored his value. With Beebe out, Tyler Smith and rookie Tyler Booker carry more responsibility, and Hoffman’s quick acclimation will determine Dallas's short-term ceiling. Fantasy managers should monitor Hoffman reps and weekly game plans.
