Offensive Coordinator Breakdown – Dallas Cowboys
Fantasy Football Winners:
If former teammate and fellow quarterback Dan Orlovsky is right “This is going to be an offense that is constantly moving where Dak is throwing the ball from… I also expect to see some really unique pre-snap motion… always constantly changing the dress-up of it” Prescott should see continued growth and development in the new system.

His weapons around him have also improved Amari Cooper and Michael Gallup look to build upon their seasons from last year. The Cowboys also get back center Travis Frederick further boosting its rushing attack which will make this passing offense even harder to defend.
Amari Cooper
An absolute monster once he was traded from Oakland to Dallas, Amari Cooper went on a tear in his final nine games of the season. In six games with the Raiders Cooper only caught 22 balls for 280 yards and one touchdown. In Dallas Cooper was targeted 76 times catching 53 for 725 yards averaging 13.7 yards per reception and six touchdowns. Jerry Jones will be sure that Kellen Moore utilizes his best weapon on the outside.
Ezekiel Elliott
One of the few players in the NFL that is actually coordinator proof, Elliott is in line for another huge workload carrying the ball this season. In his career, he averages 21.7 attempts per game, 1,349 yards, and nine touchdowns a season. If Elliott reports, which I do expect he automatically becomes a top-3 fantasy football running back.
Fantasy Football Losers:
Ezekiel Elliott
Wait what, someone can be on a winners and losers portion of this breakdown? The only issue I have with Elliott this season is that I see major regression in the passing game. I would be absolutely stunned if Elliott received over 65 targets this season. I would look for him to still be involved but 95 targets is an absurd amount especially for someone who is going to get well over 300 carries. The rookie Tony Pollard is an excellent fit third down and it is just not often you see a guy
