Amari Cooper – Noteworthy
WR Amari Cooper has 11 catches for 133 yards and a touchdown in 2 games as a Cowboy. On the Sunday Night Football broadcast, NBC announcer Cris Collinsworth broke down the Dallas offense with Cooper. Collinsworth guessed that quarterback Dak Prescott was going to look for Cooper any time he had single coverage and, when he didn’t, Prescott was going to hand the ball to Elliott or run himself. If Collinsworth was on point, that means Cooper is in for a fantastic rest of the season (if Prescott can hit him).
Brett Maher – Noteworthy
K Brett Maher made two of three field goals in the win over Philly. He was shaky on his first make from 25 yards and then missed his third attempt wide right from 42 yards. He has made 18 of 22 attempts for the season, including 8 from 40 yards or longer.
Ezekiel Elliott – Noteworthy
RB Ezekiel Elliott rushed for 151 yards and caught 6 passes for 36 yards with two total touchdowns in the win over the Eagles. That was his fourth game of more than 100 rushing yards this season and the second time he’s combined for more than 180 rushing and receiving yards.
Leighton Vander Esch – Noteworthy
LB Leight Vander Esch made 13 tackles, all solo, with a TFL, a pass deflected and the first interception of his NFL career. Sean Lee is likely to be sidelined for more than a month with his latest hamstring injury, but the way Vander Esch is playing makes that less of a problem.
Terrance Williams – Important – Injury – Transaction
WR Terrance Williams was reinstated (Cowboys) from reserve/suspended by the NFL Monday (Nov. 12). He reverts to reserve/injured where he was when the three-game suspension began Oct. 18.
