Atlanta Falcons
Julio Jones (Wide Receiver): Jones dominated the Cowboys secondary; he finished the game catching 12 of his 20 targets. He gained 164 yards and hauled in 2 game sealing touchdowns. Jones has been the best wide receiver in fantasy football this season.
Devonta Freeman (Running Back): Freeman put the team on his back, literally, rushing for 141 yards on 30 carries, scoring 3 touchdowns, and hauled in 5 catches for 52 yards. Freeman will never have a game this big again with Tevin Coleman returning but the running back showed flashes of greatness in his best performance of his entire career, so far.
Matt Ryan (Quarterback): Ryan did his job not committing any costly turnovers. Ryan finished the day completing 24 of 36 carries for 285 yards and 2 touchdowns. Julio Jones big second half set up Ryan to close in on low tier QB1 status for the day.
Dallas Cowboys
Terrance Williams (Wide Receiver): Williams had 0 catches on a day that fantasy owners would call an absolute dud. Williams is the Cowboys number 1 wide receiver while Dez is out but the Cowboys do not trust Weeden to throw the deep ball unless they are forced to do so. This significantly lowers Williams's fantasy value at least until Romo and Bryant return.
Joseph Randle/ Darren McFadden/ Lance Dunbar (Running Backs): Randle finally made a name for himself in this week 3 matchup. He finished the game with 14 carries but had 3 touchdowns along with 87 rushing yards. Randle had a monster first half but was completely shut down in the second. Randle will be an RB1 next week against the Saints.
Jason Witten (Tight End): Witten was projected to be one of the bigger passing threats on the Cowboys and he did alright for a guy with two sprained knees and a couple of other bumps and bruises. Witten finished the day catching 6 of 8 targets for 65 yards. Witten is one of the more reliable passing options while Romo is out.
