First up, let's talk about Dak Prescott. This will be Dak's fifth playoff appearance, and the pressure is on for him and the Cowboys to perform. Our model projects Dak to have a big game, with 280.54 passing yards, 2.23 touchdowns, and 16.83 rushing yards. Against a struggling Green Bay defense, we expect Dak to have no trouble moving the ball down the field.
If Dallas is able to move the ball effectively, we expect Tony Pollard to play a significant role. Despite a somewhat disappointing regular season, Pollard should have a fresh start in the playoffs. With the Packers' defense struggling against the run, our model projects Pollard to have a strong game with 63.61 rushing yards, 19.58 receiving yards, and 0.75 total touchdowns.
Moving on to CeeDee Lamb, he's had an outstanding season and comes into this matchup with a favorable matchup against the Packers. Our model projects Lamb to have a big game, with 8.7 receptions, 114.08 receiving yards, and 0.91 touchdowns. If Dallas wants to make a run in the playoffs, they'll need big performances from players like Lamb.
Now, let's take a look at Aaron Jones. The Cowboys have struggled against the run in recent weeks, and we expect the Packers to rely on Jones to keep the pressure off of Jordan Love. Our model projects Jones to have a solid game, with 67.38 rushing yards, 13.86 receiving yards, and 0.52 touchdowns.
In the "value" category, we're keeping an eye on Jake Ferguson. Despite his low price, Ferguson has put together an impressive season and could be a key player against the Packers' defense. Our model projects Ferguson to have a strong game, with 4.6 receptions, 49.78 receiving yards, and 0.49 touchdowns.
Finally, let's talk about the Dallas defense. With the Packers struggling to find reliable options, the Cowboys' defense could be a solid choice for your lineup. Our model projects the Cowboys to put pressure on Jordan Love and cause problems for the rookie quarterback.
