Amari Cooper catches four passes in Week 16.

Cooper gained 20 yards on his four receptions versus the Buccaneers. Cooper has been quiet recently, with just 52 yards combined the past two weeks, and he might rest in Week 17 with the Cowboys locked into the No. 4 seed in the NFC playoffs.

Cole Beasley catches five passes in Week 16.

Beasley was targeted five times against the Bucs, catching all five of his targets for 50 yards. The veteran receiver might not play in Week 17 with Dallas locked into the No. 4 seed, but he won’t be a highly-recommended fantasy option regardless.

Michael Gallup scores in Cowboys’ Week 16 win.

Gallup caught three passes for 53 yards and a touchdown against the Bucs. He had a 31-yard reception on an absolute dime on a deep ball from Dak Prescott down the right sideline, and the score came on a fade where he did a good job of gaining separation for the catch. The impressive rookie receiver remains inconsistent in his usage, and Dak Prescott might be sitting in Week 17; overall, he’s not a highly-recommended fantasy option to conclude the regular season.

Rod Smith gets two carries in Week 16.

Smith had -7 yards on his two attempts against the Bucs. Smith could get a nice workload next week depending on how the Cowboys play things locked into the No. 4 seed, so he’s worth a look as a waiver-wire pickup

Mike Gesicki catches one pass in loss to the Jaguars.

It went for five yards. Gesicki will look to at least find the end zone for the first time in the season finale, but fantasy owners can look ahead to 2019 for the second-round rookie to contribute.

Ezekiel Elliott gets 23 touches against the Buccaneers.

Elliott carried 18 times for 85 yards along with five receptions for 24 yards in the Cowboys’ Week 16 win. As usual, Zeke ran the ball well and picked up positive yardage after contact by finishing runs strong. It was an adequate performance for fantasy owners, with a touchdown as the only thing missing to make it a really good day. For Week 17, Elliott says the team should play to build some momentum heading into the postseason, but there’s a chance Dallas’ starters are rested while locked into the No. 4 seed. At the very least 20-25+ touches might be a little extreme for Elliott after his heavy workload this season.

Kenny Stills held in check as Miami gets eliminated from playoff contention.

Stills caught just one pass for five yards. He won’t be a recommended fantasy option next week against the Bills in Buffalo.
