Zay Jones Deep Fantasy League Pick-up – Bourne to IR
Kendrick Bourne lands on injured reserve after an ankle injury in the Cardinals' 33‑30 OT win over Dallas, ending his rookie Arizona stint with 26 catches for 263 yards in eight games. To replace him, Arizona promotes Harrison Wallace III and re‑signs former wideout Zay Jones to the practice squad, while Michael Wilson plays through two broken ribs and remains a questionable WR2/flex. Tight end Trey McBride, now the clear TE1 in PPR formats, should see a boost in targets. Fantasy managers are advised to monitor Wilson’s health and consider Zay Jones as a quicker‑than‑expected depth option.
Dumont Family Takes Full Control of Mavericks After Buying Out Miriam Adelson
The Dallas Mavericks are now 69% owned by Patrick Dumont and his wife Sivan Ochshorn after buying out Miriam Adelson’s shares, completing a deal announced last month. Mark Cuban retains a 27% stake and Mary Stanton holds the remaining 4%, while Dumont, the team’s governor, outlines a vision that includes a new arena slated for the 2031‑32 season in an entertainment district at the former Valley View Mall site. He also hints at acquiring an additional 20% from Cuban. On the court, Dallas rebuilds around Cooper Flagg after the Luka Doncic trade, starting the season 4‑3 under the Dumont family’s leadership.
Tyler Allgeier Fantasy Spike: Jeremiyah Love to IR
Arizona Cardinals rookie RB Jeremiyah Love (third overall, 2026) lands on injured reserve with a high‑ankle sprain after a tackle in the 33‑30 overtime win over Dallas, sidelining him for 4‑5 weeks. In six games he has 268 rushing yards, one rushing TD, 11 catches and a receiving TD (3.5 yds/carry). His absence boosts Tyler Allgeier, who signed a two‑year deal, into a flex‑able RB2 role, while Bam Knight sees more carries. Fantasy managers should stash Love if they have IR space; otherwise consider dropping him and targeting Allgeier (or Knight) ahead of the Week 9 clash at Seattle.
Ian Rapoport would be ‘beyond stunned’ to see Cowboys trade George Pickens
With the Cowboys sitting 3-5 after a 33-30 loss to Arizona, trade rumors swirl around wideout George Pickens. NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport tells "NFL Live" he would be "beyond stunned" if Dallas moved the 25‑year‑old, emphasizing the team’s reluctance to part with future assets. He notes that while salary cap pressures exist, the Cowboys could follow the Bengals’ playbook to retain talent. Pickens has 39 catches for 533 yards and two touchdowns in eight games and is slated to face Indianapolis in Week 9.
Rashan Gary’s inexcusable penalty opened the door to final collapse
Late in the fourth quarter, Dallas led 27-17 when Cowboys defensive end Rashan Gary's roughing‑the‑passer penalty erased a third‑and‑10 incompletion and gave Arizona a fresh set of downs. One play later, Gardner Minshew connected with Trey McBride for a touchdown, cutting the lead to 27-24 and sparking a comeback that ended in a 33-30 overtime loss for Dallas. While other lapses hurt the Cowboys, Gary's helmet‑to‑helmet hit is pinpointed as the turning point that handed the Cardinals a lifeline.

Rangers President: 2027 Payroll To Be Similar To 2026
Rangers president Chris Young says the 2027 club will stay "very similar" to 2026’s payroll, targeting a $175 million cash/LRD budget and $194 million competitive‑balance tax—about $20 million less than this season’s $193 million/$219 million figures. After an 80‑82 finish, the team plans roster changes and potential trades, eyeing high‑paid players like Corey Seager ($31 M), Jacob de Grom ($37 M), and Nathan Eovaldi ($20 M). Yet all three have full no‑trade protection and age‑related concerns, making moves tricky. Young hints the Rangers will shuffle dollars to fill gaps, possibly leveraging prospects like shortstop Sebastian Walcott.

The Cowboys and the cruel art of collapse
The Dallas Cowboys squandered a 14‑point fourth‑quarter lead in a 30‑27 loss to the Arizona Cardinals, exposing the team’s ongoing collapse. Luck helped early, with a muffed punt, a fumble recovery by James Mitchell and an interception return setting up the lead, but the offense sputtered, relying on scrambles by Dak Prescott and failing to protect him or sustain drives.
