Every Monday morning during the fantasy football season, I put together a thread featuring data from the week's games. This isn't about takes. It's just about providing information.
Here's the Week 9 data dump.
Thursday Night Football: Dallas Cowboys vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Brings the first true short week decision for survivor pool players
You get Dak Prescott, CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens against Tampa Bay's "throw on us to beat us" style of defense
Right now, Jalon Daniels is bad Malik Willis, he should not be starting NFL games and the idea of him playing in a long-term negative game script is a bit horrifying
For the Cowboys to lose this game, you're going to need a weird run out where Dak plays down in a good matchup, while Daniels becomes an entirely different player on the road, on a short week, in front of a national audience
Even then you're still going to need a big switch on a turnover or special teams play for Tampa to take this one home
Those outlier run outs happen in the NFL every year, but the path here for Tampa requires a number of things to go their way
I write up several games every week for Establish the Run subscribers from a survivor pool slant. Link to my Week 5 column is in the first comment
