The Dallas Cowboys will face the Houston Texans in Week 11. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, especially regarding QB Cooper Rush.
Is Cooper Rush Playing in Week 11?
Cooper Rush was a full participant with a neck injury on Thursday and Friday’s practice report ahead of the Cowboys’ Week 11 Monday night game. Rush doesn’t appear to be in any jeopardy of missing a start due to injury. However, another subpar performance could open the door for Dallas to take a look at former third overall pick Trey Lance.
We’ll continue to monitor the Cowboys’ injury report. You can also visit and bookmark our NFL Injury Tracker and Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.
Should You Start or Sit Cooper Rush in Week 11?
Twice this season has a QB completed 10 passes while throwing for under 95 yards in a 25+ point loss:
- Cooper Rush (Week 10 vs. Eagles)
- Andy Dalton (Week 7 at Commanders)
Both of my siblings also have red hair, and they aren’t starting for your fantasy team. Am I ruling out all red-headed players from making a living in the NFL? No. Am I starting a redhead in 2024 as my fantasy QB? Also, no.
