Game Info
Kickoff: Sunday, September 28, 2025, 8:20 p.m. ET
Location: AT&T Stadium, Arlington, TX
Network: NBC
Green Bay Packers
Quarterback
Jordan Love: START, QB1
Thanks to the dominance of the Packers’ defense, Jordan Love hasn’t had to air it out much this season. But up against the Dallas Cowboys defense that made Russell Wilson look like vintage Mr. Unlimited, Love could go nuclear and is a must-start in all formats.
Running Back
Josh Jacobs: START, RB1
You don’t need me to tell you to start Josh Jacobs. But did you know he has a passion for poetry?
Wide Receiver
Romeo Doubs: FLEX, WR4
Matthew Golden: FLEX, WR4
Dontayvion Wicks: FLEX, WR4
Even in the best fantasy matchup for wide receivers, Romeo Doubs, Matthew Golden, and Dontayvion Wicks are volatile flex plays. If we had any sort of clue as to where the targets would go on a week-to-week basis, it would be different. But against the Cowboys, you’re starting them and hoping it’s their week.
Tight End
Tucker Kraft: START, TE1
Considering he’s seen four targets in two of three games and is battling through multiple injuries, Tucker Kraft is a risky start, but a start nonetheless.
Defense/Special Teams
Green Bay Packers: START
Arguably the best defense in the league, the Packers have racked up 10 sacks and allow just 14.7 points per game, tops in the NFL. They’re an every-week start regardless of the matchup.
Dallas Cowboys
Quarterback
Dak Prescott: SIT
Volume couldn’t save Dak Prescott last week. He threw the ball 40 times but totaled just 251 passing yards and one touchdown while also throwing two picks. In all fairness, he was without CeeDee Lamb for virtually the entire game, but coming into Week 3, the Bears’ defense had given up the most points per game, the most fantasy points to QBs per game, and just allowed 52 points to the Lions. I think what I said two weeks ago stands true: Dak is a better real-life quarterback than a fantasy quarterback. With no Lamb and up against the Packers’ defense (allowing the second-fewest fantasy points to opposing QBs), he’s riding the pine in all formats.
Running Back
Javonte Williams: START, RB2
Miles Sanders: SIT
Javonte Williams had his first game without a touchdown and lost a fumble, but his usage in the passing game gave him a third straight game over double digits to start the season. His YPC has gone up each week, averaging 7.6 yards on 10 carries. He has the Cowboys’ backfield locked down, and as bad as the Dallas defense is, the offense will be playing plenty of catchup. He remains a volume-based RB2 who is game-script-proof thanks to his use in the pass game.
Wide Receiver
George Pickens: START, WR2
CeeDee Lamb* Out for Multiple Games
Jalen Tolbert: SIT
George Pickens had literally the same stat line over the past two weeks: five catches on nine targets for 68 yards and a touchdown. Unfortunately for him, in Week 3, he had an easy catch bounce right off his hand and into the Bears’ defenders for an interception. Pickens had a meltdown on the sideline, slamming his helmet in frustration. Pickens has the talent to be among the best receivers in the league, can make some of the most incredible catches you’ll ever see, but loses focus and can’t consistently do the easy things. He’ll see extra work with Lamb out, but he’s the only Cowboys receiver you can start against the Packers. He’s a volatile WR2 with upside.
Tight End
Jake Ferguson: START, TE1
Jake Ferguson is emerging as a must-start option at tight end, finishing with 13 catches on 14 targets and 82 receiving yards. He’s averaging 13 targets over his past two games, and potentially the biggest benefactor while Lamb misses time. He has one of the safest floors at the position. Green Bay is a good matchup for tight ends, allowing the sixth-most fantasy points to the position.
Defense/Special Teams
Dallas Cowboys: SIT
I can’t in good conscience recommend starting a defense in fantasy football that’s allowing over 30 points per game.
