Brandin Cooks - Three grabs against Carolina Cooks caught three of five targets for 34 yards in Sunday's win over the Panthers.

Impact CeeDee Lamb dominated the looks from quarterback Cooper Rush with a 9-116-1 line on 13 targets, and while Cooks finished second on the Cowboys in targets, catches and receiving yards, it was Jalen Tolbert and Jalen Brooks who were on the other end of Rush's other two touchdowns. Cooks has seen limited volume since returning from a knee injury that cost him seven games in the middle of the season, posting a 7-53-2 line on 15 targets over the last three contests, and he'll be a TD-dependent fantasy option in Week 16 against Tampa Bay's vulnerable secondary.

Ezekiel Elliott - Does little with increased volume Elliot gained 30 rushing yards on nine carries and caught his only target for 11 yards in Sunday's win over the Panthers.

Impact The veteran running back saw double-digit touches for the first time since Week 8, while his 41 scrimmage yards were his highest total since Week 1. Elliott still took a clear back seat to Rico Dowdle, who ran for a career-high 149 yards on 25 totes. Even with the Cowboys' running game finding another gear in recent weeks due to improved play from the offensive line, Elliott doesn't seem likely to take advantage.

Trevon Diggs - Long recovery ahead Diggs will undergo surgery this week to repair a knee cartilage injury and his recovery could take up to eight months, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Impact Diggs' initial timeline could have him missing most of training camp, and possibly the start of next season, if he suffers any setbacks. The 26-year-old finished his season with 42 combined tackles and 11 passes defended, including two interceptions in 11 games.

Xavier Legette - Considered week-to-week Panthers head coach Dave Canales said Monday that Legette (groin) is week-to-week and expected to be ruled out for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Steve Reed of the Associated...

Impact Canales said he would "love to have a chance for [Legette] to finish the season strongly," but the rookie first-round pick is expected to miss at least one contest due to the groin injury he sustained during Carolina's 30-14 loss to the Cowboys in Week 15. If Legette indeed isn't able to suit up versus Arizona, Adam Thielen, Jalen Coker and David Moore will be positioned as Bryce Young's clear top wide receivers, with Deven Thompkins acting in the No. 4 role.
