Sources -- Cowboys make Tyler Smith NFL's highest-paid interior OL - ESPN

Sources -- Cowboys make Tyler Smith NFL's highest-paid interior OL - ESPN

Dallas locked in Tyler Smith as the NFL's highest-paid interior lineman with a four-year, $96 million extension ($80M guaranteed), extending him to 2030 after a Pro Bowl breakout at left guard. The move caps a trio of Cowboys extensions (Ferguson, Bland) as Dallas shifts toward a stable core with Micah Parsons traded to Green Bay altering the defensive edge. Smith, 24, now anchors an evolving OL with a rookie at right guard and two second-year tackles, while praise from Schottenheimer and Jones underscores his leadership.

What is the fantasy impact of Tyler Smith's extension on the Cowboys' QB and WRs?How do Ferguson and Bland extensions alongside Smith's deal shift Cowboys' lineup risk for fantasy managers?What is the fantasy upside for Tyler Booker and Cooper Beebe given the OL plan?Does the Parsons trade affect the Cowboys' defensive fantasy upside and how should managers react?

Cowboys agree to $96M contract extension with Pro Bowl G Tyler Smith that's the largest in NFL history for an interior lineman - Yahoo Sports

Cowboys agree to $96M contract extension with Pro Bowl G Tyler Smith that's the largest in NFL history for an interior lineman - Yahoo Sports

Tyler Smith signed a four-year, $96 million extension with the Dallas Cowboys, $81.2 million guaranteed, making him the NFL’s highest-paid interior lineman. The 2022 first-rounder moved from tackle to guard and blossomed with a 2023 All-Pro nod and a 2024 Pro Bowl, locking in Dallas’ interior anchor through 2030. The deal follows stalled talks with Micah Parsons and comes ahead of Week 2 vs. the Giants. Kansas City’s Trey Smith previously set the guard market at $92M.

With Tyler Smith’s extension and no immediate Parsons deal, what is the likely short-term impact on Dallas’ offense and fantasy output?How might Dallas’ cap outlook evolve through 2029 given the Smith extension and potential Parsons deal?How does Smith’s move from tackle to guard affect his fantasy-projected ceiling?What does the Giants Week 2 matchup reveal about the Cowboys’ offensive plan with a fortified line?

Chiefs Announce Massive Absence For Eagles Rematch

Chiefs Announce Massive Absence For Eagles Rematch

Chiefs- Eagles rematch in Kansas City comes with Xavier Worthy ruled out and Rashee Rice suspended, forcing Kansas City to lean on a shortened downfield plan and more short throws. Mahomes must navigate a thinner receiving corps, relying on Kelce, Thornton, and Hollywood Brown as he fights to rekindle that big-play magic. Philly’s injury cloud at Darius Slay could open windows, but the responsibility falls on the Chiefs’ O-line and play-caller to convert on third downs and sustain drives. The outcome hinges on protection, red-zone efficiency, and Mahomes’ masterclass ability.

With Worthy out, which Chiefs player is most viable as a DFS cash play in this game and why?How does Rashee Rice suspension alter the Chiefs' third-down efficiency and red-zone targets?Which Chiefs players are most likely to see a surge in fantasy relevance given the current roster constraints?What is the best game plan for Kansas City to attack a potentially depleted secondary without Slay?

Eagles GM Howie Roseman Reportedly Had Clear Response to A.J. Brown Trade Inquiries

Eagles GM Howie Roseman Reportedly Had Clear Response to A.J. Brown Trade Inquiries

A.J. Brown remains off the trade block for the Eagles after Howie Roseman flat-out rebuffed inquiries, underscoring Brown's value to Philadelphia's high-powered attack. Brown has cleared 1,400 receiving yards in two of his three seasons with the Eagles and totaled 25 touchdowns, even as he publicly pushes for a bigger role. With a season-opening win vs. Dallas and a Week 2 Super Bowl rematch with Kansas City on the horizon, Brown should again anchor Philly's passing game in fantasy.

With Brown staying put, how should fantasy players price him for Week 2 and beyond?Should fantasy players pivot to Brown in a potential shootout scenario against KC?How do trade rumors surrounding a player affect fantasy projections long-term?What matchup indicators should fantasy players watch for Brown over the next four weeks?

How Saquon Barkley, Steve Spagnuolo have fared head-to-head

Sports Illustrated

How Saquon Barkley, Steve Spagnuolo have fared head-to-head

Sunday's Chiefs-Eagles clash doubles as a tactical chess match. Barkley seeks a rebound after a down 2024 and a tough Super Bowl, while Spagnuolo's defense stacks the box to slow him again. Philadelphia counters with Hurts's rushing threat and a weapon-rich offense that keeps defenses guessing. KC aims to tighten gaps and finish a rebound against a loaded, high-octane unit.

From a fantasy angle, Barkley’s workload and Philly’s pace loom large. If KC invites volume, Barkley could post usable numbers; Hurts' rushing floor adds a reliable weekly anchor. The winner may hinge on a few decisive drives where run-game and quarterback mobility collide, shaping rosters and bets for the slate.

How should Barkley be used against KC's box-stack?Is Hurts' rushing floor sustainable in this matchup?What is the single biggest defensive adjustment KC must make?Which matchup will define the game from a fantasy lens?
