Dallas Cowboys: 4 players whose stock rose Week 3, and 2 who fell
By Mitch Larson
Dallas Cowboys Stock Up: DT, Osa Odighizuwa
Micah Parsons has been spectacular for the Cowboys this season, but he isn’t the only rookie who has made their presence known. After frequently flashing his potential against the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 2, third-round pick Osa Odighizuwa made an impact early and often again on Monday night.
He finished the game with 1.5 sacks and was in the backfield all game. In doing so, he became the first Cowboys rookie to have more than one sack in a game since 2016.
The Cowboys have been in desperate need of a defensive tackle who can create pressure the way Odighizuwa can, and he’s certainly making his case to be one of the drafts’ best steals.
Dallas Cowboys bonus stock down: K, Greg Zuerlein and C, Tyler Biadasz
Three weeks and three consecutive appearances for Greg the Leg in these rankings. Zuerlein missed his second extra point of the season, an inexcusable gaffe that is starting to become a trend for him. It’s at the point where every time he lines up I am holding my breath, regardless of easy the kick should be for a vet like him.
Center Tyler Biadasz on the other hand has managed to skate a bit under the radar, but his play is also starting to become a problem. He seems overmatched all too often and has been frequently bullied by interior defensive linemen.
It’s not like Dallas doesn’t have options here. They prioritized getting Connor Williams snaps at center this offseason, while guard Connor McGovern played the position at Penn State. With Biadasz quickly becoming a liability you have to wonder how much longer the Cowboys are going to be willing to stick with him.
