Amari Cooper breaks two long touchdowns in Thanksgiving victory.

Cooper had a monstrous game against the Redskins, catching eight-of-nine targets for 180 yards and two touchdowns. The first score was a 40-yarder on a short in-breaking route where the defender slipped and Cooper was off to the races. The second score was a 90-yarder on a seam route, as Cooper broke a tackle and was off to the races again. Cooper obviously has a ton of trust from his new quarterback after a few games, and he’ll look to keep it going one week from tonight against the Saints.

Allen Hurns catches one pass in win over the Redskins.

It went for seven yards. Hurns isn’t a recommended fantasy option, but he will get a good matchup next week against the Saints.

Rod Smith gets two carries in Cowboys’ win.

Smith gained seven yards on his two attempts against the Redskins. He left the game with what looked like a stinger, but hopefully he’s OK moving forward. Smith is not a fantasy option behind Ezekiel Elliott.

Ezekiel Elliott scores against the Redskins on Thanksgiving.

Elliott carried 26 times for 121 yards and a touchdown while adding five receptions for 22 yards in this afternoon’s 31-23 victory to bring the Cowboys into a tie for first place in the NFC East. Elliott now has three straight games with at least 120 rushing yards and a rushing touchdown, so he’s about as good as it gets right now. Next Thursday against the Saints is a difficult matchup, but Zeke will obviously remain an RB1.

Dak Prescott scores three times in Cowboys’ Thanksgiving win.

Prescott was 22/31 for 289 yards and two touchdowns along with six carries for 18 yards and another score on the ground. Both passing scores were to Amari Cooper—one for 40 yards and one for 90 yards, with Cooper catching-and-running on intermediate passes—and the rushing touchdown was on a spectacular scramble where he ran around and eventually dove into the end zone for six. Prescott continues to silence the critics while leading the Cowboys to three straight wins, and he’ll look to keep it going in a potential shootout with Drew Brees and the Saints one week from tonight.

Maurice Harris did not catch a pass against the Cowboys.

Harris was targeted five times in the Redskins’ Thanksgiving loss, but he did not come up with any of them. Harris is currently a risky fantasy play, and he does not need to be owned in fantasy leagues right now.

Trey Quinn catches first career touchdown on Thanksgiving.

Quinn caught five passes for 26 yards and a touchdown against the Cowboys. The score came in the red zone, and it was the first career score for the last pick in this year’s draft. Quinn has a combined nine receptions in his last two games since getting a solid amount of playing time, but he’s not yet a recommended fantasy option.
