If you played the Cowboys' defense in fantasy football this week, congratulations. I told you so.
A Forty Burger The Hard Way
On the craps table in Las Vegas, there is a bet called “Hardways.” For example, your point is SIX, and you roll the dice and it hits double threes. Essentially hitting your point the “Hard Way.”
In a nutshell, there are four numbers, 4, 6, 8, and 10 and each of them has its own spot on the table. In order to roll a hardway combination, you must roll the exact pair of doubles.
The Cowboys have led the league in takeaways over the last 2 seasons with a combined 67. If only I could have drafted them in 1 of my 3 ESPN leagues. I needed them this week. I took 3 losses. Congrats if you played them.
Micah Parsons recently shared that he is all about manifestation with the media. Despite not playing any pre-season snaps, the Lion and his jungle of predators have arrived in prime-time fashion.
Performing in tip-top shape in their season opener against the New York Giants on Sunday Night Football at Metlife Stadium. I know owners who had his defense in their lineups and are very excited for what’s to come.
Can You Stand The Rayne
The fact all 3 phases of the Cowboys game scored it was a lopsided victory where Prescott threw for zero touchdowns. My prediction before the game on Facebook was that the Cowboys would cook the Giants up a forty burger indeed. Thanks to the defense and special teams, they did it in the rain. The hard way.
Special teams blocked a field goal return for a touchdown. The defense returned a pick 6 for one. In addition 7 sacks, 2 interceptions, and 1 fumble recovery. I’m certain a few owners were saved by the Cowboy's defense in their fantasy lineups.
I had to remain disciplined in my CONTRARIAN ground game strategy. I wasn’t able to grab the Cowboys D/ST in any of my 3 leagues. I will take a Cowboys win any day over a fantasy football loss…
