Cowboys | Cooper Rush still under consideration to start Sun Oct 31, 10:39 AM
Several members of the Dallas Cowboys organization believe QB Cooper Rush will start Week 8's game against the Minnesota Vikings in place of QB Dak Prescott (calf), after Rush took all of the reps at practice during the week. However, there has been no official announcement from the club and one team source said the Cowboys' decision is 'still up in the air.'
Footballguys view: Set your lineup as if Rush will start tonight. The Cowboys aren't going to risk an aggravation of the injury if they can help it. |

Dallas Cowboys QB Cooper Rush received the bulk of the reps with the first-team offense in practice during the week and would be in line to make his first career NFL start versus the Minnesota Vikings in Week 8 if QB Dak Prescott (calf) is held out of action.
Footballguys view: We may not know who is starting until an hour before kickoff on Sunday night. Prescott is officially listed as questionable on the injury report after logging three limited practice sessions during the week and could be a game-time decision. |

Dallas Cowboys QB Garrett Gilbert is expected to start Week 9's game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, since he has received the majority of reps in practice during the week, according to multiple sources.

Fantasy GMs with guys like RB Ezekiel Elliott and WR Amari Cooper (and others) will once again be dropping expectations for their assets with the Cowboys quarterback situation being problematic. |

Footballguys view: The Giants have a collection of receivers here to watch in crazy deep leagues. They've also kept around Rush as a developmental quarterback. There were supporters of Rush in the Cowboys organization so perhaps he can work his way onto the active roster with the Giants. |

Giants | Two will compete for No. 2 QB job Sun May 10, 02:00 PM
New York Giants QBs Colt McCoy and Alex Tanney will compete for the No. 2 quarterback job during training camp. QB Cooper Rush could also have a chance to compete for the job.
Footballguys view: Rush is the new guy as he was released by the Cowboys after they signed QB Andy Dalton off the open market. He was a player we were watching in Dallas but only in crazy deep dynasty formats. That's the view we'll take with him now that he's with the Giants. Rush is really the only exciting player from this group behind Daniel Jones in such formats. |
