Trevon Diggs returned from offseason knee surgery and played 27 of 63 defensive snaps in Dallas’ season-opening loss to Philadelphia, signaling a cautious ramp back. Dallas leaned zone in passing, limiting big plays while Diggs earned a top team coverage grade (76.1) from Pro Football Focus. His comments about the rehab process suggest a slow, steady climb in snap counts, potentially boosted if DaRon Bland’s issue lingers. For fantasy, Diggs’ floor remains solid with a growing ceiling as he nears a fuller role.

Amid the shift in rotation, Diggs’ health and the Cowboys’ nickel flexibility could shape future snap totals. If Bland returns soon, Diggs may sit in a 40–60% snap range, but any extended absence for Bland or increased blitz/zone nuance could push Diggs into more on-field opportunities. The week-to-week calculus centers on maintenance, pace, and the evolving personnel allied in the secondary.

Philadelphia opened 1-0 in a 24-20 snatch of a win over Dallas, with Jalen Hurts stacking efficiency (19 of 23, 152 yards) while piling up 62 rushing yards and two touchdowns on 16 carries. The win came with Jalen Carter ejected early for spitting at Dak Prescott, forcing interior reps for Jordan Davis and Moro Ojomo as Day 1 rookies Jihaad Campbell and Andrew Mukuba manned big snaps at linebacker and safety. Adoree' Jackson and Jakorian Bennett were tested, and Jahan Dotson delivered three grabs for 57 yards as A.J. Brown was largely quiet. Additionally, Braden Mann pinned keys kicks and Zack Baun and others swarmed the field. Duke the Cowboys misdirection to special teams, Turpin saw limited returns. This Week 1 showing hints at fantasy value across Hurts's rush-heavy scoring, Campbell's three-down versatility, and Mukuba's early safety reps, while cautioning on a banged-up defense post Carter's ejection.
