2024 Fantasy Outlook
Rush was relegated to mop-up duty last season, as Dak Prescott was healthy for a full season for the first time in four years. Rush didn’t do much when he did get on the field, posting a 6.0 YPA with only two completions longer than 20 yards (on 24 attempts). The Cowboys seem content with Rush’s game-managing skills, and Trey Lance, for whom Dallas traded just before Week 1 last season, never challenged him for the backup job. Perhaps that changes this season. Lance certainly is more physically skilled than Rush and far more mobile -- in the last three seasons, Rush has -7 rushing yards on 30 carries. If Lance’s accuracy finally comes around, he would have more upside, both to the Cowboys and fantasy owners, than Rush. Read Past Outlooks

Throws for 354 yards in loss
Rush completed 32 of 55 pass attempts for 354 yards, one touchdown and one interception while taking two carries for as many yards in Monday's 34-10 loss to the Texans.
ANALYSIS
Rush wound up piling up enough numbers to serve as a formidable bye week replacement off waivers, despite the one-sided nature of Monday's primetime matchup. The veteran backup did throw an interception while seeing multiple balls bounce off of Houston defenders' hands, which could have derailed his night from a fantasy standpoint. Rush's two fumbles were secured by either himself or a teammate, resulting in a shaky but passable showing. Assuming Dallas keeps Rush under center for Sunday's tilt against Washington, he should check in at the bottom-third of fantasy QB rankings for Week 12.

Another Dak Prescott injury landed Rush under center again in 2022, and the 29-year-old Central Michigan product won four straight starts before falling to the Eagles in Week 6. His efficiency took a step back, however, and those victories owed more to Dan Quinn's defense than Rush's arm. With coordinator Kellen Moore leaving to take over the Chargers offense, Rush's knowledge of Moore's scheme no longer is a plus, and he could face a stiff challenge for the No. 2 quarterback job in training camp from the more athletically gifted Will Grier, a third-round pick of the Panthers in 2019, and Trey Lance, for whom the Cowboys traded in late August.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Job safe for now
Rush will remain the Cowboys' starting quarterback in Week 11 against the Texans, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
With Dak Prescott facing possible season-ending surgery for a hamstring injury, Rush got the start in Week 10 against the Eagles but didn't find much success, losing two fumbles while passing for just 45 yards. He was replaced in the fourth quarter by Trey Lance, but at least for one more week, Dallas coach Mike McCarthy is sticking with Rush under center. Another poor performance could force the Cowboys to give Lance a longer look, however.
