Dallas Cowboys Fantasy Football Must-Starts for Week 7 Against the Commanders
The Dallas Cowboys’ offense has emerged as a silver lining amidst a rocky 2-3-1 start to the season. Through the first six weeks, they have consistently demonstrated their offensive prowess, establishing themselves as one of the league’s top units. As they gear up for their Week 7 clash against the Washington Commanders—who currently sit 25th in total defense—the stage is set for several Cowboys to shine in fantasy football.
Javonte Williams
When the Cowboys’ offense finds its rhythm, running back Javonte Williams is often at the forefront. His impact is undeniable; in the two games where the team struggled offensively, against the Panthers and Bears, Williams was largely neutralized, tallying only 105 yards on 23 carries without reaching the end zone. In stark contrast, when he is able to generate momentum on the ground, the entire offense flourishes.
This week, Williams faces a Commanders defense that ranks 20th against the run, coupled with a 21st-place standing in terms of fantasy points allowed to running backs. Given these favorable matchups, Williams is primed for a productive outing.
George Pickens
Wide receiver George Pickens has stepped up significantly in the absence of CeeDee Lamb, making a name for himself in fantasy leagues. He currently ranks fifth among all receivers, showcasing remarkable consistency with at least nine targets in four of the past five games. His ability to find the end zone has been impressive, scoring in each of the last five contests.
In games where he has received double-digit targets—specifically against Green Bay and Carolina—he has exploded for 134 and 168 receiving yards, respectively, while notching multiple touchdowns. Even if Lamb returns to the lineup, Pickens’ current form suggests he will continue to be a vital component of the Cowboys’ aerial attack.
Dak Prescott
Quarterback Dak Prescott is enjoying an MVP-caliber season, and his performance has been a key factor for the Cowboys. Currently ranked as the No. 3 fantasy quarterback behind only Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen, Prescott has thrown for 817 yards and 10 touchdowns over his last three games, while adding a rushing touchdown to his tally.
With the Commanders allowing an average of 235.5 passing yards per game and struggling against the pass, Prescott has a prime opportunity to further bolster his impressive stats. If he can receive some support from his defense, he could solidify his candidacy for league MVP.
Final Thoughts
As the Cowboys prepare to face the Commanders in Week 7, the potential for offensive fireworks is high. With playmakers like Williams, Pickens, and Prescott leading the charge, fantasy managers can look forward to a thrilling matchup that could yield significant returns.
