DALLAS COWBOYS VS WASHINGTON REDSKINS

START ‘EM

The afternoon game is a little tricky since the Washington Redskins are also falling in the backup quarterback role this week due to the gruesome injury to Alex Smith. Colt McCoy will take the snaps on Thursday and when looking at the depth chart, there really aren’t many good options to start other than Jordan Reed.

Reed is coming off his best game of the season and is the only legitimate weapon on the Redskins offense. That could mean he’s double-teamed, but I’d take my chances at such a thin position.

As for the home team, Amari Cooper continues to be a starting option each week as a Cowboy, something we couldn’t say when he was with the Raiders. Dak Prescott appears comfortable throwing the pigskin Cooper’s way.

The Cowboys defense is a good match-up most weeks as it is, but going up against backup Colt McCoy gives them an opportunity to really put up some fantasy points this week. Roll with the ‘Boys on Turkey Day.
