  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.

  Cowboys | Cooper Rush has chance to start in Week 8    Sat Oct 30, 08:33 AM

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.

Footballguys view: The Cowboys will instead have practice-squaders Garrett Gilbert and Cooper Rush compete for the job in practice this week. 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: Rush has to compete with Garrett Gilbert for the starting job. It's a terrible matchup against a tough Steelers defense, so don't expect much from the Cowboys offense no matter who gets the start.

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.

Updating a previous report, Dallas Cowboys restricted free-agent QB Cooper Rush is expected to receive the original round tender this offseason, according to sources.

Footballguys view: Rush was undrafted out of Central Michigan in 2017. That means his tender would not come with any compensation if another team signs him away from the Cowboys. We don't think anybody will do that, so Rush should return as a backup option behind Dak Prescott in 2020.

Footballguys view: No worries here as Prescott is expected to play in Week 16. Just double check on Friday to see what his practice status is. Prescott is a QB1 for Fantasy GMs in championship week in this matchup against the Eagles on Sunday.

Dallas Cowboys QB Mike White and QB Cooper Rush both have a 'clean slate' in the competition for the backup quarterback spot, according to quarterbacks coach Jon Kitna.

Footballguys view: White and Rush would both be upgrades at backup for some teams, so it will be interesting to see if the team fields offers for whoever ends up at #3. Assuming they sign Dak Prescott to a long term deal, they won't need both, but either could be coveted elsewhere.
