Fantasy Football: 5 bold predictions for Week 17

Bold Prediction #5: Dallas does it again

We mentioned the Dallas Cowboys earlier when talking about Jalen Hurts. They proved us right last week, and we are putting our faith in them again. It’s all about the matchups. Last week, they were facing the terrible Washington defense. Dak Prescott had four touchdowns. Ezekiel Elliott had a touchdown rushing and a touchdown receiving. Amari Cooper looked like a number one for the first time in a long time. Dalton Schultz had another big performance at the tight end position. The Cowboys defense scored multiple touchdowns. Everything worked.

This week, the Cowboys are taking on an Arizona Cardinals team that is in somewhat of desperation mode. They clearly got hot at the wrong time, and they’ve struggled mightily down the stretch. Over the past two weeks, they’ve given up an average of 44 points to the wide receiver position in fantasy.

The Cowboys can take advantage of this. Start whoever you want at the wide receiver position. Amari Cooper and CeeDee Lamb are no brainers. Schultz is another player who should get a look unless you’re sitting on Waller or George Kittle. Even the running backs could have big games. The Cardinals have given up 240 yards on the ground over the past two weeks.

The Cowboys are a good play all around. Arizona is a good matchup for them now. Believe in the Cowboys to deliver a championship. Well, a fantasy championship. We still don’t believe in them to win an actual championship.
