The Commanders are favored by 1.5, setting a pivotal fantasy backdrop as Dallas’ next four games (Broncos, Cardinals, Raiders, Eagles) loom.

NFC East showdown in Dallas as Washington visits the Cowboys in Week 7, a high-scoring clash set by two teams that were gashed by the run last week. Both defenses struggled to stop ground games, pushing the game total to 54.5 and the spread into a tight range. The matchup features key fantasy pieces on both sides, with QB decisions, top receivers, and backfields likely to carry heavy workloads as both teams chase a win to stay in the division race.

Fantasy angles lean toward volume and punch‑card opportunities: Dak Prescott and Jayden Daniels lead the QB intrigue, while Ceedee Lamb and Terry McLaurin headline as primary pass targets when healthy. Cowboys’ Jake Ferguson and Noah Brown offer mid-range value, and Washington’s Jacory Croskey‑Merritt could carve out a role if McLaurin is limited. In the backfield, Dowdle’s burst for Carolina and Swift’s 100+ yard effort against Washington provide a blueprint for week‑to‑week upside in this shooty Week 7 rivalry.

Dallas sits 2-3-1 with a top-tier offense and a defense that’s systematically getting burned. Jerry Jones flagged a potential deadline move, aided by cap space and a cheap Kenny Clark contract, to chase a defensive cornerstone like Hendrickson. Dak Prescott’s hot stretch and George Pickens’ emergence drive fantasy upside even amid Lamb and Co. injuries, while Overshown and Revel could return to alter the defense’s ceiling as Dallas weighs its next big move.

Dallas remains in the NFC East chase after a 2-3-1 start, with parity and injuries keeping the door open. Jerry Jones signals openness to a defense upgrade at the trade deadline, weighing cap space and potential returns, while Dak Prescott’s play keeps the offense humming.

A possible Amari Cooper-type move looms as a blueprint for a defensive reshuffle; the Cowboys are monitoring trade options that could change the fantasy landscape. Expected returns from Overshown and Revel Jr. could shore up a leaky unit, potentially lifting Prescott, his targets, and the defense in the stretch run.
