We may not see America’s Team kick-off in Las Vegas until tomorrow night, but the Dallas Cowboys fantasy football stars have to be set in your lineups before today’s games start this afternoon.
It’s been two weeks since we’ve seen Dallas take the field, and a lot has changed in that time regarding their roster makeup.
The organization’s acquisitions of Logan Wilson and Quinnen Williams aim to help fix up a broken defense, and the offense seeks to get back on track after losing their early-season momentum in recent weeks.
For fantasy owners, this matchup against a bad Raiders team is promising. Now, it’s just a matter of ranking the guys to sort out who is at the top of the fantasy totem pole.
So, without further ado, here are the Cowboys fantasy football rankings in Week 11.
1. CeeDee Lamb: Weak Secondary Clears Way For 20+ Point Performance
The top dog in this week’s fantasy rankings is clearly All-Pro wide receiver CeeDee Lamb.
Coming into this matchup, Lamb is averaging 15.1 fantasy points in PPR leagues, and that is with only one touchdown under his belt thus far.
He is coming into this game rested and with an opponent to attack, as the Raiders rank 27th in points allowed against fantasy wide receivers. That is flat-out bad, and it is hard to see a unit like that stopping Lamb.
I expect 88 to deliver a 20+ point performance on Monday; obviously, he is a must-start for any fantasy owner.
2. Javonte Williams: RB1 Will Bounce Back After Week 9 Dud
Despite rushing for a solid 83 yards against the Cardinals, Javonte Williams’ last fantasy football performance was his worst of the season.
In Week 11, expect him to bounce back and get on the board with a touchdown en route to a much-improved showing.
Las Vegas is a middle-of-the-pack defense against fantasy running backs, ranking 18th in the league, so there won’t be an elite unit to stop this hard runner as the game drags on tomorrow night.
Williams could eclipse twenty points for the fourth time this season, but he should at least get close to that if not.
3. Dak Prescott: Cooled-Down QB Must Light It Up Against Raiders
The Cowboys franchise quarterback, Dak Prescott, started the season as a top-tier fantasy option and an MVP candidate. He has cooled down in recent weeks, but this game presents him with a clear opportunity to light it up.
Prescott is projected to score nearly 18 points in this one, just below his season-average of 18.8, as the Raiders are in the top half of the league against fantasy quarterbacks.
With his weapons healthy, however, I expect this to be a big showing from Prescott.
Unless you have one of the top dogs at the position on your roster, I’d be starting this guy with the anticipation of a big Monday night showing.
4. George Pickens: Star WR Can Snap Touchdown Slump In Week 11
When Lamb missed time with an injury, George Pickens exploded for six touchdowns in a five-game stretch. Now, he hasn’t gotten into the end zone in three consecutive games.
That could change against Vegas, as their aforementioned ranking against fantasy wide receivers gives Pickens a great chance to get back on track.
His volume has remained high, which has helped him as a solid-fantasy option, but owners are surely missing the explosive potential he had earlier in the year.
Pickens has had two 30+ point performances in PPR leagues this season, and his overdue touchdown potential and matchup make that kind of showing a possibility on Monday night. You have to start Pickens and hope for a huge game tomorrow.
