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
RANKS
Three TDs in win
Rush completed 18 of 29 passes for 214 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions in Sunday's 30-14 win over the Panthers. He added four rushes for five yards.
ANALYSIS
Rush took some time to get the Cowboys' offense moving, but that changed on a drive early in the second quarter during which he went 5-for-5 with 70 yards and a 14-yard touchdown pass to CeeDee Lamb. He went on to tally two additional passing scores to Jalen Tolbert and Jalen Brooks to record the first three-touchdown game of his career and complete the blowout victory over Carolina. While it was a favorable matchup, Rush also averaged 7.4 yards per attempt -- his second-highest mark of the season -- to give him some momentum heading into another exploitable matchup in Week 16 against Tampa Bay.

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
Getting comfortable in offense
Todd Archer of ESPN.com relays that Rush has steadily become more comfortable in the Cowboys' offense since taking over for Dak Prescott in Week 9.
ANALYSIS
Prescott suffered a season-ending hamstring injury against the Falcons in Week 9. Rush passed for just 45 yards in his first start of the season against the Eagles in Week 10, but in the three games since he's completed 62.6 percent of his passes for 796 yards, four touchdowns and one interception. Rush faces a Bengals defense Monday that got lit up by Russell Wilson in Week 13, as the Pittsburgh quarterback completed 29 of 38 passes for 414 passing yards and three touchdowns in a 44-38 win.
