2. Michael Gallup will go over 100 receiving yards again

The Cowboys’ offense was forced to play without their top two receivers against the Raiders but it barely missed a beat. Gallup stepped up for Prescott in a big way without the benefit of playing alongside Amari Cooper or CeeDee Lamb.

Interestingly, Gallup was only tied for fourth with eight targets for Dallas last week. He was highly efficient though. He really hurt Las Vegas for 106 receiving yards on five catches.

Gallup is in line for another big day even if Cooper and/or Lamb come back into the fold. Marshon Lattimore will do a lot to take away the Cowboys’ No. 1 wideout. That will force Prescott to rely on secondary targets which plays right into Gallup’s hands.

He’ll need one big play over the top to go over 100 yards receiving on the day, but he has the right combination of size and speed to make that happen. Expect him to get one catch of 30+ yards en route to topping the century mark for a second consecutive game.
