Michael Gallup, WR, Dallas Cowboys

The addition of Amari Cooper has brought a lot of attention to the Dallas Cowboys' passing game. The addition of the former Raider has helped the Cowboys boost the air attack, averaging 224.2 passing yards per game since Week 9, a 22.4% increase over the first seven games of the season. One of the under-the-radar beneficiaries of the improved passing game has been rookie Michael Gallup.

In the last five games with Cooper, Gallup has seen at least five targets in four games, averaging 5.4 looks per game. Last week, he set a new career-high with 7 targets and 5 catches (for 76 yards) against the New Orleans Saints. His night could have better too as Dak Prescott overthrew Gallup for what looked like a sure 55-yard touchdown. Facing a depleted Philadelphia Eagles' secondary this week, Gallup is worth a flier in deep leagues this week.

The Eagles allow the second-most yards and third-most catches to wide receivers this season. With Cole Beasley banged up too, Gallup could see a few extra targets this week as well.
