Cowboys will discuss starting QB situation

Nov 11, 2024

Trey Lance’s long wait to get into a game for the Cowboys came to an end on Sunday.

Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy sent Lance into the game for a couple of plays in the third quarter and then put Cooper Rush back into the game, but the team made a lasting change in the fourth quarter. Lance, who was acquired in a trade with the 49ers in the summer of 2023, went 4-of-6 for 21 yards and an interception to close out the 34-6 loss to the Eagles.

Fantasy Impact:

Rush was 13-of-23 for 45 yards before being pulled and his ineffectiveness made it inevitable that McCarthy would field questions about starting Lance in Week 11. McCarthy said he wasn’t ready to make any calls, but that would be a topic for discussion on Monday, the story went on to say. Rush has played well in the past when filling in for Dak Prescott but Sunday's game against the Eagles was a struggle for the entire offense. The Cowboys will play the Texans a week from Monday, which gives any quarterback a little extra time to prepare for what the Cowboys hope will be a more competent performance, the story pointed out. For now, playing Rush or Lance should only be considered in the deepest of two-QB or superflex leagues.

Jets WR Davante Adams misses Wednesday practice with illness and wrist soreness

Davante Adams is not practicing today, Ulbrich said. He has an illness and some wrist soreness.

Fantasy Impact:

Adams took 13 targets for 31 yards last week, which is definitely enough to make anyone feel ill. He now has 206 yards on 38 targets over his Jets tenure, for a cool 5.42 yards per target. He's definitely getting the volume, but should be considered a moderate WR2 if he suits up.

Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence Out, Mac Jones In for Week 11

Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence (shoulder) is out again this week, per coach Doug Pederson. Mac Jones starts again at Detroit.

Fantasy Impact:

In Mac Jones' first start, the Jaguars managed only 7 points while the quarterback took 22 pass attempts to reach a 111-0-2 stat line. This is a downgrade to all Jaguars pass-catchers, while Jones is unplayable in fantasy lineups.

Panthers RB Miles Sanders day-to-day with foot/ankle injury

Panthers RB Miles Sanders, who was carted off with a foot/ankle injury in Germany, is considered day-to-day after extensive tests and a visit with an expert, sources say.

They want the swelling to go down, and he could miss a little time. But as of now, not considered major.

Related Players: Chuba Hubbard, Jonathon Brooks

Fantasy Impact:

Even with the Panthers Week 11 bye week, it's hard to envision much of a role for Sanders moving forward, with Brooks slated to become a part of the offense after the bye. Even if Brooks doesn't see the field, Sanders shouldn't be held on any fantasy rosters right now.
