3 things to buy, 1 thing to sell for the Cowboys vs Cardinals

The Cowboys aim to ride a breakout offensive showing against the Eagles into Week 8 versus the Cardinals. Running back Javonte Williams exploded for 155 yards and a TD, prompting a recommendation to buy his fantasy stock as Arizona ranks 24th in rushing defense (126.4 yds/game).
