## The matchup

According to the NFL's game notes, Dak Prescott is the storyline to watch. He threw for 258 yards and a touchdown in Week 6 and is now chasing his seventh straight game with a touchdown pass and his sixth straight with 250-plus passing yards. [Javonte Williams](https://profootballnewshub.com/nfl/players/javonte-williams) has scored in four straight games and is tied for second in the league with eight touchdowns this season, while [CeeDee Lamb](https://profootballnewshub.com/nfl/players/ceedee-lamb), who had nine catches for 70 yards last week, leads the NFL with 619 career receptions since 2020.

Dallas is coming off back-to-back losses, falling 13-23 at the Green Bay Packers after a 16-24 defeat to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, with a Week 4 win over the Houston Texans (34-30) and a Week 3 loss to the Baltimore Ravens (31-34) sandwiched around a Week 2 win over the Washington Commanders (37-20). Philadelphia has lost four in a row, including a 14-25 home loss to the Carolina Panthers last week, a 17-19 defeat at the Jacksonville Jaguars, a 20-24 loss to the Los Angeles Rams, and a 7-27 blowout at the Chicago Bears, with their only win in that span a 24-20 victory at the Tennessee Titans in Week 2. Dallas has scored 151 points and allowed 159 this season, while Philadelphia has managed just 106 points and given up 137.

## Key matchups

Prescott and Lamb are the engine of this Dallas offense, but Javonte Williams is the one to watch near the goal line given his four-game scoring streak and his tie for second in the league with eight touchdowns. [George Pickens](https://profootballnewshub.com/nfl/players/george-pickens) is chasing his fifth straight game with 70-plus receiving yards after putting up six catches for a team-high 73 yards in Week 6, and [Jake Ferguson](https://profootballnewshub.com/nfl/players/jake-ferguson) is tied for fifth among tight ends with three touchdowns this season. On defense, [Quinnen Williams](https://profootballnewshub.com/nfl/players/quinnen-williams) had a sack and a pass defensed last week, [DaRon Bland](https://profootballnewshub.com/nfl/players/daron-bland) broke up two passes, and rookie [Caleb Downs](https://profootballnewshub.com/nfl/players/caleb-downs) led the team with a season-high 12 tackles.

Philadelphia's offense runs through [Saquon Barkley](https://profootballnewshub.com/nfl/players/saquon-barkley) and [Tanner McKee](https://profootballnewshub.com/nfl/players/tanner-mckee), who threw for 215 yards and a touchdown in Week 6. [Dallas Goedert](https://profootballnewshub.com/nfl/players/dallas-goedert) added six catches for 61 yards that same week. Up front for Philadelphia's defense, [Jalen Carter](https://profootballnewshub.com/nfl/players/jalen-carter) had a pass breakup, [Zack Baun](https://profootballnewshub.com/nfl/players/zack-baun) piled up six tackles and a pass defensed, and Arnold Ebiketie led the team with a career-high nine tackles. [Riq Woolen](https://profootballnewshub.com/nfl/players/riq-woolen) chipped in a pass breakup and a forced fumble.

## Injuries that matter

Dallas is without linebacker [Dee Winters](https://profootballnewshub.com/nfl/players/dee-winters) (calf), offensive tackle [Drew Shelton](https://profootballnewshub.com/nfl/players/drew-shelton) (hamstring) and wide receiver [KaVontae Turpin](https://profootballnewshub.com/nfl/players/kavontae-turpin) (ribs), all ruled out. Linebacker [Marist Liufau](https://profootballnewshub.com/nfl/players/marist-liufau) (forearm) and safety [P.J. Locke](https://profootballnewshub.com/nfl/players/p-j-locke) (foot) are questionable. [Von Miller](https://profootballnewshub.com/nfl/players/von-miller) did not practice, though no game status has been given for him yet.

Philadelphia's injury list is heavier. Wide receivers [DeVonta Smith](https://profootballnewshub.com/nfl/players/devonta-smith) (hamstring) and [Dontayvion Wicks](https://profootballnewshub.com/nfl/players/dontayvion-wicks) (ankle) are both out, along with cornerback [Michael Carter II](https://profootballnewshub.com/nfl/players/michael-carter-ii) (abdomen) and linebacker [Nolan Smith Jr.](https://profootballnewshub.com/nfl/players/nolan-smith-jr) (concussion). Tight ends [Eli Stowers](https://profootballnewshub.com/nfl/players/eli-stowers) (quadricep) and [Grant Calcaterra](https://profootballnewshub.com/nfl/players/grant-calcaterra) (back) are questionable, as are cornerback [Jakorian Bennett](https://profootballnewshub.com/nfl/players/jakorian-bennett) (knee), linebackers [Jalyx Hunt](https://profootballnewshub.com/nfl/players/jalyx-hunt) (knee) and [Jonathan Greenard](https://profootballnewshub.com/nfl/players/jonathan-greenard) (ankle), and offensive guard [Landon Dickerson](https://profootballnewshub.com/nfl/players/landon-dickerson) (knee).

## Fantasy angles

CeeDee Lamb is in every lineup at an 18.5-point projection, and his target volume backs it up with 48 receptions for 577 yards on the season.

Dak Prescott projects at 17.5 points and is a confident start riding his streak of 250-plus passing yards in six straight games.

Javonte Williams is the goal-line play in this one at 15.5 projected points, having found the end zone in four consecutive games and sitting tied for second in the league with eight touchdowns.

George Pickens projects at 13.0 and is a solid start given his run of five straight games chasing 70-plus receiving yards.

DeVonta Smith is out with a hamstring injury despite a 15.0-point projection, so he is off the board regardless of the number attached to his name.

## The pick

The market has Dallas as 4.5-point favorites with a total of 44.0, and the market score sits at Cowboys 24, Eagles 20. Dallas has more juice on offense with Prescott, Lamb and Williams all trending the right way, while Philadelphia is banged up at receiver and riding a four-game skid. Give the edge to Dallas.
