Cooper Rush expected to start again for Cowboys Sunday night

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Cooper Rush is expected to remain the starter in Week 6 against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday night, per head coach Mike McCarthy.

What It Means:

Dak Prescott is scheduled to throw to receivers on Wednesday for the first time since undergoing thumb surgery last month, but the Cowboys aren't planning on having him back until at least Week 7. That sets up Rush for another start on Sunday night in a key divisional matchup. He only completed 10 passes for 102 scoreless yards last week against the Los Angeles Rams, but Rush avoided a turnover for a fourth straight game while picking up another win. The former undrafted free agent will have his hands full on Sunday night with a talented Eagles' pass defense.

The Eagles are allowing the fourth-fewest FanDuel points per game to the quarterback position this season and they also have the fourth-best pass defense in our adjusted team rankings. Rush is the QB21 in numberFire's Week 6 rankings and he has a $6,500 salary on FanDuel.
