Kicker Greg Zuerlein said, &#8220;So I feel bad for the guys in there that played their ass off and I didn&#8217;t hold up my end of the deal.&#8221; Dallas took an interesting approach as they featured both Tony Pollard and Ezekiel Elliot. Dak Prescott showed that he has not regressed, as he put up over 400 yards and three touchdowns.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">One player that gives me some confidence in this match-up is Dak Prescott and Ceedee Lamb. I think these two players will have a special connection throughout the season. Ceedee Lamb posted over 100 yards, on seven catches and a touchdown against the Super Bowl Champions that returned all 11 starters on defense. Lamb will get targeted early and often as he is one of the best up-and-coming wide receivers in the game. I anticipate that the Cowboys will feed Zeke the rock as much as they can late in the game to grind out the clock when the defense is tired.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Chargers<\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The Chargers have a healthy Derwin James to pair with edge rusher Joey Bosa. The Chargers defense has an above-average pass defense as they kept bulldozing through the Washington offensive line in Week 1 and taking the quarterback down. The Cowboys better do everything they can to keep Dak Prescott upright because we all saw what the Chargers defense did to Ryan Fitzpatrick&#8217;s hip that knocked him out of the game. The Chargers only managed to rack up 20 points on offense against the Washington Football Team, and it was just enough to get the victory. If the Chargers can keep scoring, I do not think it will matter because I still believe that Dallas will win this game.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">One player for the Chargers who I expect to have a giant fantasy impact in this one is Austin Ekeler. Ekeler did not catch any passes in Week 1 and only managed to rack up 57 yards on 15 carries. He saved his Week 1 fantasy day by finding his way into the end-zone. There will be a big workload for Ekeler in this game if the Chargers are keeping up with the pace in the first half. This pace could lead to a big fantasy day for Ekeler where he gets into the top 5 at his position statistically for Week 2<\/span><\/p>\n<p>[pickup_prop id=&#8221;11777&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p><em><span
