DaRon Bland's stint on the shelf tests Dallas's secondary, coming as Week 2 pits the Cowboys against Malik Nabers. Week 1’s shutdown of A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith showed the unit's ceiling, but depth is now under the microscope. Dallas elevates Zion Childress and Robert Rochell and brings Ryan Flournoy back, signaling a rotation-heavy approach. Expect Nabers to draw a primary ghost of targets, while the revamped depth will shape DFS and fantasy lineups.

Nate Landman, a first-year Ram, earned defensive signal-caller duties and a captaincy after months with the team. In his debut he was everywhere, stacking tackles and delivering a game‑changing forced fumble that sealed the win. McVay and Shula raved about his leadership, calling him an extension of the coaching staff on the field.

Named NFC Defensive Player of the Week, Landman’s one-year deal keeps the door open for an extension, and chatter centers on his high-torque play and green‑dot responsibilities. For fantasy IDP managers, his workload and pivotal plays shout upside, with continued heavy involvement likely in coming weeks.
