The 3-6 Dallas Cowboys need a win to keep their playoff hopes alive, while the 6-4 Houston Texans look to keep control of the AFC South in this in-state rivalry game.
Mixon and the Texans' offense has been rolling as of late, with Joe going for 90+ yards in each full game this season. He now has a great matchup against a Dallas defense in peril, allowing 140 total YPG to running backs.
With Mixon on a tear, he will be a valuable asset in the receiving game with Nico Collins slowly coming back from injury. He’s hit this receiving mark in five of seven games so far this season.
With Dallas still toying with their secondary receivers and Cooper Rush looking unstable as the starting Quarterback of this team, I’m weary regarding Jalen Tolbert’s receiving numbers in this Houston game.
The Texans are a middle-of-the-pack defense against opposing wideouts but have the talent to take a guy like Jalen Tolbert out of this football game. Since Prescott went down, Jalen hasn’t had a 20+ yard game, and with Jonathan Mingo activated, there might be a dip in snap share for the young speedster.
With Zeke Elliot’s fumbling issues carrying into last week, where he fumbled right at the goal line earlier in the game against Philly, Rico Dowdle should be a player to watch on Monday night.
With Elliott missing practices, the Week 10 matchup, and then fumbling at the goal line, it wouldn’t be shocking if McCarthy cuts his touches and minutes back and hands them to Dowdle, who is averaging 4.5 YPC this season. Rico has gone three of eight games with 4+ catches.

Cooper Rush | Under 0.5 Pass Interceptions |
After Cooper Rush’s struggles against the Eagles and the Texans nearly victorious over the Lions with their five-interception game against Jared Goff, it’s difficult to envision a world where Houston doesn’t turn Cooper Rush over in this Monday night battle.
Houston has secured 10 interceptions in their last five games, while Rush will most likely play his first full game of the season, allowing for more negative decisions and opportunities for the Texans secondary to pounce on the football.
