Dallas Cowboys DFS Spin
Cowboys LT Tyron Smith (ankle) is questionable for Week 1 against the Giants. Smith was added to the injury report on Thursday after getting in a limited practice. He remained limited on Friday but should be able to suit up on Sunday. Dallas will need him on the line as they are already slated to be without left guard Tyler Smith, who is listed as doubtful.
New York Giants DFS Spin
ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reports TE Darren Waller’s (hamstring) injury is “not believed to be serious.” The Giants hope to have Waller, who was added to the injury report Friday, for Sunday night vs Dallas. Waller’s hamstring looks unlikely to keep him out but his floor takes a hit with snap count risks. Daniel Bellinger would draw the start if Waller sits.

Cowboys vs. Giants Prediction:
Give me Dallas. Call me skeptical when it comes to the Giants, who shocked the NFL world last season by not only making the playoffs, but also by winning Wild Card Weekend in Minnesota. Daniel Jones got himself a new contract and despite a threat of a lengthy holdout, Saquan Barkley is back for at least one more season. That said, are the Giants improved? Or are they similar to what they were a year ago, which was a team that played above its talent level every week and won some close games? The Cowboys aren’t without their issues, but they have the better QB in Dak Prescott, the better defense and can be more explosive offensively.
