Despite a nearly flawless passing performance from Dak Prescott and a dominant outing from George Pickens, Dallas abandoned what was working and stubbornly tried to force the run in a 30-27 loss to the Carolina Panthers. Prescott was nearly perfect - 25 of 34 for 261 yards, three touchdowns, and zero interceptions - finishing with a 124.8 passer rating. His chemistry with Pickens was elite: 9 receptions for 168 yards and a touchdown, including plays of 31, 34, and 45 yards that ripped through Carolina's secondary.

How many of us can say that we're disappointed, but not surprised? Against a Carolina Panthers team that was also without two of their starting offensive linemen, the Dallas Cowboys' defense provided little to no resistance and got steamrolled. Although the defense recorded a turnover, they didn't do much else to stop the Panthers. It's a shame, too, because Dak Prescott was once again terrific from the pocket and George Pickens did all he could to elevate the passing attack practically singlehandedly.

From the emergence of now-key fantasy starters to the multi-week injury to CeeDee Lamb, the Cowboys' rankings here have done nothing but fluctuate. That will stay true this week, as well, considering their Week 5 showing against the Jets, and what the Carolina Panthers bring to the table. So, without further ado, let's get into ranking the Dallas Cowboys, from a fantasy perspective, as the team heads into Charlotte for a critical Week 6 matchup. As Rico Dowdle said this week, we ought to buckle up.

Forties would be a good number,

"Dak is a great leader. All respect to him. He literally goes out of his way to help me, no matter if the coach is talking in the meeting, he literally goes out of his way to help."
