The New Orleans Saints effectively muted the Cowboys’ two biggest defenders. Fantasy football owners who are used to getting a ton of scoring from the opportunistic Dallas defense are certainly scratching their heads through three quarters of action. Dallas was dominant in their Week 1 win over the Cleveland Browns, but things have changed in Week 2.
Derek Carr and the New Orleans Saints have scored touchdowns on all six of their possessions so far, and the names of the two biggest Cowboys disruptors, Micah Parsons and DeMarcus Lawrence, have rarely been called.
Parsons has a lonely two tackles and Lawerence has been shut out of the box score as the fourth quarter begins. Neither has sniffed Carr much in the pocket, after being one and two in the league in QB pressures last week.
Even without the pressures, one would hope the other part of the game, the run defense could help. That’s normally Lawrence’s calling card, but run after run, the Saints have been able to find the edges.
IDP fantasy players have to be scratching their heads at this point.
