Team news & squadsDallas Cowboys team news
Dallas, meanwhile, has been one of the league’s most explosive teams. The Cowboys are lighting up the scoreboard for 30.8 points per game — the second-best mark in the NFL. But their defense has struggled to match that intensity, allowing 31.3 points per game, which ranks near the bottom at 31st.
Dak Prescott has been dealing this season, racking up 2,069 passing yards while completing 70.3% of his throws and firing 16 touchdown passes. The ground game runs through Javonte Williams, who has churned out 633 rushing yards. Out wide, George Pickens has stepped into the WR1 spotlight, catching 43 passes for 685 yards and six touchdowns.
Prescott had been dealing prior to that stumble, but now he’s under the microscope again. If he’s going to reassert himself, prime time is as good a spotlight as any. And he’s not short on firepower. Lamb and Pickens have been playing like a pair of fireworks on the outside, giving defenses headaches every week.
Jake Ferguson was mysteriously quiet in Week 8 after torching opponents for six touchdowns across four weeks, and he’ll be looking to reintroduce himself to the scoreboard. Meanwhile, the backfield remains in good hands, Javonte Williams has looked reborn in Dallas colors, pounding out 633 yards at 5.1 a pop with eight TDs to his name.
But defense is the elephant in the room. The Cowboys have been shredded through the air, and with injuries piling up, patience among the fanbase is wearing thin. They need solutions, and they need them yesterday, or the playoff picture could fade fast.

Arizona Cardinals team news
Arizona’s offense has been middle-of-the-pack this season, putting up 21.9 points per outing, good for 19th in the league. On the flip side, the defense has held up fairly well, surrendering 22.0 points per game, placing them 13th. The Cardinals are producing 310.3 total yards per game, splitting it between 199.9 through the air and 110.4 on the ground, while giving up 335.7 yards per contest, most of that damage coming via the pass.
Kyler Murray remains the heartbeat of the offense, throwing for 962 yards, completing 68.3% of his attempts, and tallying six touchdowns. On the ground, Trey Benson leads the way with 160 rushing yards, while Trey McBride has emerged as the go-to target in the passing game, hauling in 47 catches for 421 yards and four scores.
Across the way, the Cardinals are in their own fight to stay upright. Murray’s injury forced the team to turn to Brissett, who has provided steadiness and leadership in the storm. But Murray practiced Tuesday, and there’s a real shot he’s under center under the bright lights. If so, he’ll be tasked with snapping a five-game slide and quieting critics who wonder if his best is still ahead of him.
Trey McBride, fresh off a hefty extension, continues to be the security blanket this offense leans on. However, Arizona desperately needs more consistency from Marvin Harrison Jr., who has shown flashes but hasn’t taken full command of his role just yet.
In the run game, the Cardinals are practically held together with tape. James Conner went down, then Trey Benson, leaving Bam Knight and Michael Carter as the current 1-2 punch. Not ideal.

Cowboys vs Cardinals Fantasy Football
Despite Dallas’ record hovering below .500, Dak Prescott (20.7 projected W9 fpts) has been playing like a top-tier quarterback. He’s completing over 70% of his throws with 2,068 yards, 16 touchdowns, and just five picks on the year. If the Cowboys want to make any noise in the NFC playoff race, they’ll need Prescott to keep carrying the load, especially with the defense leaking points at an alarming rate.
Javonte Williams (13.4 projected W9 fpts) continues to be the heartbeat of this backfield and a fantasy mainstay. Even in a sluggish offensive outing last week against Denver, Williams still finished as a top-10 running back thanks to his goal-line usage and overall volume. He only managed 49 total yards, but punched in two scores, proving his floor is safer than most RB1/RB2 options. Arizona presents a middle-of-the-road matchup against the run, so expect another strong, steady outing. He remains a low-end RB1 with weekly touchdown upside.
Even in Dallas’ stumble last week, CeeDee Lamb (12.4 projected W9 fpts) once again delivered dependable production. With Patrick Surtain shadowing him, Lamb still drew 10 targets, catching seven for 74 yards. Not flashy — but rock solid. The challenge ahead: an Arizona secondary that has quietly held opposing WRs to the fifth-fewest fantasy points. But with Dallas’ defense giving up 31+ points per game, this offense will have to throw to keep up. Lamb remains matchup-proof, lock him in as a high-end WR1/WR2.
The ripple effect from Lamb’s return? Jake Ferguson’s usage dipped, while George Pickens (10.1 projected W9 fpts) has held steady with 78+ yards in back-to-back weeks. Expect Ferguson to bounce back a bit, but Pickens still profiles as a secure WR2 going into Week 9. His role is stable, his volume is safe, you keep him in lineups.
On the other side, it’s looking like another week without Kyler Murray (19.9 projected W9 fpts). Even though he logged limited practices and was officially labeled questionable, reports indicate he was not working with the starters, meaning Jacoby Brissett is expected to run the show again.
With Trey Benson out, this backfield turns to Zonovan Knight (8.4 projected W9 fpts), who walks into a sneaky-good opportunity. Dallas has been getting gashed on the ground, and Knight should handle most of the volume. He profiles as a mid-range RB2 with legitimate scoring upside in Week 9.
Marvin Harrison Jr. (9.5 projected W9 fpts) never found his rhythm last week, struggling to convert targets into catches. Given he was just recently cleared from concussion protocol, it’s fair to wonder if he still wasn’t quite 100%. The matchup improves here: Dallas has been giving up chunk plays to wideouts all year. Don’t overthink it — this is a classic bounce-back spot.
Cowboys vs Cardinals Game Predictions
It’s easy for fans to glance at the Arizona Cardinals’ 2-5 record and label them as one of the league’s bottom feeders, but that doesn’t quite tell the full story. This is a team that often looks sharp through three quarters, boasting a +44 point differential, before unraveling late. Arizona has gone toe-to-toe with the Seahawks, Colts, and Packers, only to fall short in the final moments of each contest.
For Dallas, capitalizing on those late-game lapses will be key. Dak Prescott should bounce back under the Monday Night Football lights, connecting early and often with CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens against a vulnerable Cardinals secondary. Still, given Arizona’s ability to hang around in close games, this one could be tighter than expected. That said, expect the Cowboys to do just enough to secure a hard-fought win at home, something in the ballpark of 27-20 Dallas feels right.
