A\u00a0starting quarterback<\/a> can make or break an NFL team, but what about\u00a0when you take him out of the equation?<\/p>\n

The Cowboys, with their pair of All-Pro receivers and multiple first-round offensive linemen surrounding QB Dak Prescott, rank high up on the list. In fact, Fox ranks just one team in front of them.<\/p>\n

Dallas ranks second in the NFL with its supporting cast behind only the Los Angeles Rams.<\/p>\n

“Wide receivers CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens have a chance to put up some scary numbers in this offense if they can both stay healthy,” Fox’s Ralph Vacchiano writes. “Both are explosive enough to be considered top 10 in the league. And Dallas has other weapons, too, such as tight end Jake Ferguson and deep threat KaVontae Turpin.”<\/p>\n

Prescott has been among the league leaders in passing yards for two\u00a0of the last three seasons, but aside from the Cowboys’ prolific aerial attack, their use of the run game is what propelled them up to No. 2 on the list.<\/p>\n

“What really vaults the Cowboys on this list, though, is their commitment to Javonte Williams and the running game. ‘(Williams) surprised me with how strong a runner he was,’ a scout told me. ‘But I was even more surprised by how much he was used. He really takes the pressure off the passing game.’ It also helps that Dak Prescott has a top-tier line protecting him. If left tackle Tyler Guyton and center Cooper Beebe can stay healthy, Dallas might have one of the best lines in the league.”<\/p>\n

Now, obviously, the Cowboys had a stellar offense last season, as well \u2014 it was the defense that was the problem. Perhaps in 2026, with another strong year from Prescott, the supporting cast around him, and the revamped defense of Christian Parker<\/a>, the Cowboys could have a season where it all comes together.<\/p>\n
