The 49ers are close to full strength as they enter a pivotal NFC matchup against the Eagles. In what could be a preview of an NFC Championship game, Brock Purdy and the Niners will look to avenge a loss to the Eagles in last year’s NFC Championship matchup.

Lawrence was sporting a sling while talking to reports after the game. He will undergo further testing to determine the full extent of the injury. Entering the final month of a lost season, the Giants don’t have any reason to rush the stud defensive tackle back this year. He has nine TFLs and eight TFLs this year. It’s possible that’s where his season ends because of the elbow injury.

Singletary also had one target that wasn’t caught. He ended up receiving just two touches less than Tyrone Tracy in the contest (9 carries for 32 yards), but neither was effective against the Dallas front seven. Singletary will remain off the fantasy radar against the Saints for Week 14.

Cooks had the most targets of any Dallas receiver in a game where CeeDee Lamb left with a possible injury and couldn’t catch the ball (two catches, three drops). His last reception was the biggest; a diving catch that picked up a first down and let Dallas run out the clock. Outside of that, it was a nondescript game for Cooks in his first action since September 26 due to a knee injury. He could be in for a high-target count again if Lamb can’t go in Week 14 against the Bengals.

Tolbert was able to haul in a long 30-yard connection, and it could have gone for more if it was an accurate throw from Cooper Rush. The 41 yards are the first time he’s reached that mark in the month of November, and even in a shaky wideout room, Tolbert doesn’t offer much in terms of fantasy sustainability.

Slayton and Lock were nowhere close to being on the same page, and anything that was even close to longer yardage fell incomplete. The six targets ranked second behind Malik Nabers’ 13, but don’t let that fool you. Slayton will remain a WR5/6 going forward no matter who the quarterback is for the Giants.

Johnson ended up second in receptions and receiving yards for New York, and third in targets behind Malik Nabers and Darius Slayton. The rookie tight end has a new career high in yardage, and appeared to have a good rapport with Drew Lock. Even if Lock goes again versus the Saints in Week 14, he’s a low-ceiling TE2 for that contest.

Turnpin also added one rush for two yards. The majority of the yardage came on a 30-yard screen pass where Turpin sowed off his electric speed. Amazingly, he ended up being the Cowboys’ leading receiver in a game where the Cowboys were committed to the run and CeeDee Lamb dealt with drops and a possible injury. He’d be a risky play in Week 14 against the Bengals on Monday Night Football.

All five targets — and receptions, of course — came in the first half. The tight end was a safety valve for Cooper Rush and then became an afterthought when Dallas realized that they could just run Rico Dowdle. Schoonmaker will be a low-end TE2 against the Bengals in Week 14.

Lamb dropped three passes in the contest; one of which on a play where he could have run forever if he made the catch. More concerning was that Lamb appeared to injure his shoulder in the second half, and didn’t play in the second half. The Cowboys didn’t provide an injury report, but fantasy managers will want to check and see what Lamb’s status is for Week 14 against the Bengals on Monday night.

Nabers had a long catch taken away by a holding penalty. His long on the day was an 18-yard catch down the sideline that set up a score. For the most part, Nabers did most of his damage underneath, in large part due to the Giants being unable to protect Drew Lock. Nabers will be in the WR1 discussion for Week 14 against the Saints.
