Cowboys plan to go with Garrett Gilbert or Cooper Rush at QB Week 9

Nov 03, 2020

The Cowboys plan to give Garrett Gilbert and Cooper Rush reps in practice and pick one of them at week’s end to start at QB against the Steelers.

Related players: Ben DiNucci, Ezekiel Elliott, Amari Cooper, Michael Gallup.

Fantasy Impact:

The big news is it won’t be rookie DiNucci, who struggled Sunday night against the Eagles. As Pelissero added, the Cowboys are playing to experience at the position. We'll continue to monitor heading into Week 9, but it's probably safe to assume much of the same no matter who is named the starter, if not mostly because of the tough matchup against the Steelers. It continues to be a big downgrade for players like Elliott, Cooper and Gallup.

“I will be playing on Sunday. Very excited, can’t pass up playing the Packers. I will be out there for sure.”

George Kittle says he’s good to go for Sunday

Related Players: Eric Saubert

Fantasy Impact:

Kittle returns to a great matchup against a Packers defense that ranks 26th in TE aFPA. He should be fired up as a high-end TE1 once again.

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
