News

  • Visiting with Baltimore

    Gallup is scheduled to visit the Ravens on Thursday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Gallup, who turned 28 years old earlier this month, is coming off a 2023 season in which he recorded a 34-418-2 receiving line on 57 targets in 17 games with the Cowboys. If the 2018 third-round pick ends up signing with Baltimore, he would add needed depth to a wideout corps currently headed by Zay Flowers, Rashod Bateman and Nelson Agholor.

  • Cut loose by Cowboys

    The Cowboys released Gallup on Friday, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Analysis: In what has been rumored to be Gallup's fate this offseason, Dallas has decided to move on from the 2018 third-round pick. Using a mechanism available to them, the Cowboys have designated the move as a post-June 1 cut, per Todd Archer of ESPN.com, which will save them $9.5 million in 2024 but add $8.7 million in dead cap next year. Gallup has one big season on his resume -- 1,107 receiving yards back in 2019 -- but he's failed to surpass 500 such yards in each of the past three seasons while…read more

  • Could be cut this offseason

    Gallup may be released this offseason, according to Jon Machota of The Athletic.

    Analysis: The last time we saw Gallup in uniform he caught six passes for 103 yards in a wild-card loss to the Packers. It was his first 100-yard game since Nov. 2021, six weeks before he suffered a career-altering ACL tear. Gallup has three seasons remaining on the five-year, $57.5 million extension he signed a few months after suffering the injury, but none of the remaining money is guaranteed. The Cowboys can free up $9.5 million in 2024 cap space if Gallup is designated as a post-June 1 release,…read more

  • Tops century mark against Green Bay

    Gallup caught all six of his targets for 103 yards in Sunday's 48-32 wild-card loss to the Packers.

    Analysis: The 27-year-old wideout never topped 92 receiving yards during the regular season, but Gallup wound up being one of Dak Prescott's top targets in the second half after the Cowboys fell into a big hole early and had to air it out in a comeback attempt. On the campaign, Gallup didn't miss a game for the first time since 2020, but his 418 receiving yards in the regular season were a career low. He has three years and $32.5 million remaining on his current contract, but his declining role suggests…read more

  • Minimal involvement in Week 16

    Gallup played 33 of the Cowboys' 66 snaps on offense in Sunday's 22-20 loss to the Dolphins, recording two catches for four yards on two targets.

    Analysis: After playing at least 54 percent of the Cowboys' snaps in each of the team's first six games, Gallup has seen a noticeable role reduction since Dallas' Week 7 bye. In the ensuing nine contests, Gallup's snap shares have hovered between 35 and 51 percent, and he hasn't drawn more than five targets in any of those games. Gallup remains a starting receiver for Dallas, but CeeDee Lamb and Brandin Cooks are clearly ahead of him in the pecking order, and second-year player Jalen Tolbert may be…read more

  • Just one grab in Buffalo

    Gallup caught his only target for nine yards in Sunday's 31-10 loss to the Bills.

    Analysis: Dak Prescott posted his lowest passing yards total of the season and completed just 21 passes, his lowest total since the Cowboys' Week 7 bye, giving few opportunities for the team's depth receiving options to make any kind of impact. Gallup has caught one pass or less in three of the last four games, seeing only one target in each of those contests, but he could see higher volume Week 16 if the road game against the Dolphins turns into a barn burner.

  • Snags second TD of 2023

    Gallup caught three of five targets for 48 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's win over the Eagles.

    Analysis: The veteran wideout caught a one-yard slant from Dak Prescott right before halftime to give the Cowboys a 24-6 lead in an eventual 33-13 romp. The TD was Gallup's second of the season, while the three grabs and five targets tied his highs in seven games since the team's bye. CeeDee Lamb, Brandin Cooks and Jake Ferguson remain Prescott's top options in the passing game, but there's been enough production to go around lately that Gallup is still capable of providing some fantasy value, although…read more

  • Just one grab in Thanksgiving win

    Gallup caught his only target for 13 yards in a 45-10 win over the Commanders on Thanksgiving.

    Analysis: Dak Prescott spread the ball around in the rout and completed passes to 10 different Cowboys, but Gallup was one of the six who has only one reception. The veteran wideout was also on the field for a season-low 18 snaps on offense as younger options like Jalen Tolbert (20 snaps) and Jalen Brooks (six snaps) see their roles grow. Gallup hasn't caught more than three passes in a game since Week 4 and has topped 31 receiving yards only once in that stretch. While every Dallas receiver has some…read more

  • Three grabs against Carolina

    Gallup caught three of five targets for 31 yards in Sunday's win over the Panthers.

    Analysis: The Cowboys spread the ball around more than usual in a 33-10 rout, as nine different Dallas players caught multiple passes from Dak Prescott, and Gallup's production didn't stand out from the pack. The veteran wideout hasn't made a big impact this season but has established a steady floor with multiple receptions in eight straight games, posting a modest 25-331-1 line on 41 targets over that stretch.

  • Finally finds end zone Sunday

    Gallup caught both his targets for 70 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 49-17 rout of the Giants.

    Analysis: The veteran wideout was on the other end of a 41-yard TD toss from Dak Prescott in the third quarter, which was the third of four touchdown passes on the day for the QB. The score was Gallup's first of the season, while the yardage total was his second highest of 2023, and he hasn't caught more than three passes in a game since Week 4. Despite Prescott's recent eruption -- he's thrown for over 1,000 yards over the last three contests -- Gallup still hasn't been prominently featured in the game…read more

  • Little usage against Philly

    Gallup caught two of three targets for 19 yards in Sunday's loss to the Eagles.

    Analysis: Despite the fact that Dak Prescott attempted 44 passes and threw for 374 yards, Gallup was barely involved in the offense once again. The veteran wideout hasn't reached 25 receiving yards in four straight games, and there's little reason to expect better numbers Week 10 against the Giants given that the Cowboys barely needed to throw the ball at all the first time these teams met this season in a 40-0 rout for Dallas in Week 1.

  • Gets back to full participation

    Gallup (illness) practiced fully Thursday, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Gallup was absent to kick off Week 9 prep due to an illness, but after the day off, he was able to handle every practice rep Thursday. He could be in store for a spike in production Sunday against an Eagles defense that has given up the most catches (134) and total touchdowns (13) to opposing wide receivers in eight games on the campaign.

  • Back at practice Thursday

    Gallup (illness) returned to practice Thursday, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Gallup saw his playing time dialed back in last Sunday's win over the Rams, playing a season-low 51 percent of the offensive snaps, as Jalen Tolbert saw increased work behind CeeDee Lamb and Brandin Cooks. Gallup has failed to crack 24 yards in any of his last three games and in five of seven games overall. With that in mind, he's off the fantasy radar outside of deeper leagues.

  • Idle for practice with illness

    Gallup didn't participate in Wednesday's practice due to an illness, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Provided Gallup isn't dealing with anything more than a cold or minor bug, he should have a good chance to play Sunday in Philadelphia. He'll have opportunities to practice again Thursday and Friday and put himself in position to play this weekend.

  • Two grabs in Sunday's rout

    Gallup caught two of three targets for 20 yards in Sunday's win over the Rams.

    Analysis: Dak Prescott had his best game of the season, racking up 304 passing yards and four TDs, but Gallup saw little of that production. The veteran wideout saw his lowest target volume since Week 2, and over the last three contests he's managed just a 7-59-0 line on 18 targets. Despite his poor recent performances, Gallup could get into the end zone for the first time in 2023 during Week 9's clash with an Eagles secondary that's given up 12 touchdowns to WRs through eight games, the second-highest…read more

  • Inefficient in Week 6 win

    Gallup secured three of 10 targets for 24 yards in the Cowboys' 20-17 win over the Chargers on Monday.

    Analysis: Gallup's team- and season-high target total largely went for naught against an aggressive Chargers defense, leading to another modest showing for the veteran wideout. He's now recorded less than 25 receiving yards in four of the first six games, and he's followed up a solid two-game surge in Weeks 3-4 when he posted an 11-152-0 line on 13 targets with just five receptions for 39 yards in the next pair of contests. Gallup's next opportunity to reverse course comes in a Week 8 home matchup…read more

  • Held to two receptions Sunday

    Gallup had two receptions on five targets for 15 yards in Sunday's 42-10 loss to the 49ers.

    Analysis: Gallup was coming off his two most productive games of the season before running into a brick wall in the form of the 49ers' defense, as San Francisco didn't allow a single Dallas receiver to gain over 50 yards. Gallup did finish in a three-way tie with CeeDee Lamb and tight end Jake Ferguson for the team lead in targets, with Brandin Cooks not far behind with four. Gallup and the entire offense will attempt to get right in a favorable matchup against the Chargers next Monday.

  • Remains more invovled

    Gallup recorded five receptions on six targets for 60 yards in Sunday's 38-3 win over the Patriots.

    Analysis: Gallup finished second on the team in targets, receptions and yards, trailing only Jake Ferguson. The majority of his production came on a pair of grabs that went for 29 and 19 yards, both of which occurred on drives that ended in points for Dallas. After starting the season slowly, Gallup has combined to record 11 catches for 152 yards across his last two contests.

  • Wakes up in Week 3

    Gallup caught six of seven targets for 92 yards in Sunday's 28-16 loss to the Cardinals.

    Analysis: After managing only one reception in each of Dallas' first two games, Gallup broke out and led the team in catches and receiving yards as Arizona largely held CeeDee Lamb in check. It's Gallup's best performance since he put up a 5-106-0 line against the Raiders in Week 12 of the 2021 campaign, before his ACL surgery. He'll look to carry some momentum into Week 4's clash with a Patriots defense that's been stingy through the air so far this season.

  • Quiet in Week 2 win

    Gallup caught one of two targets for three yards in Sunday's win over the Jets.

    Analysis: Even with Brandin Cooks (knee) inactive, Gallup wasn't much of a factor in the Cowboys' passing game, and second-year wideout Jalen Tolbert saw more looks from Dak Prescott on the rare occasions the quarterback wasn't throwing the ball to CeeDee Lamb or Tony Pollard. Gallup could be in danger of slipping to the No. 4 spot on the WR depth chart, and his fantasy outlook will be dim in Week 3 as Dallas isn't likely to need much production through the air against the winless Cardinals.

  • Held to one catch in opener

    Gallup caught one of two targets for 10 yards in Sunday's 40-0 rout of the Giants.

    Analysis: The Cowboys' passing game didn't need to do much on a night when the team's special teams and defense each scored TDs in the first quarter, and while Gallup's volume was low, no Dallas wideout had more than four targets. He still appears to be the clear No. 3 WR behind CeeDee Lamb and Brandin Cooks, however, and tight end Jake Ferguson (seven targets Sunday) and running back Tony Pollard (three targets) also will demand their share of Dak Prescott's attention. Gallup will have better days this…read more

  • Primed for bounce-back season

    Gallup is healthy heading into Week 1 and could be ready to put together his best season since 2020, Saad Yousef and Jon Machota of The Athletic report.

    Analysis: The 27-year-old wideout has seen his numbers decline the last two years in the aftermath of a torn ACL, but a healthy Gallup should provide Dak Prescott with a reliable option behind CeeDee Lamb and Brandin Cooks. Gallup filled a similar role in 2020, with Amari Cooper instead of Cooks as the receiver ahead of him on the depth chart, and turned 105 targets into a 59-843-5 line. Similar production in 2023 seems plausible if he, and Prescott, can stay on the field.

  • Feeling good again

    Gallup (knee/ankle) said Wednesday that he feels "springy again" after dealing with knee soreness for much of last season, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: His recovery from arthroscopic knee and ankle procedures in January unsurprisingly was much easier than his rehab from surgery to repair a torn ACL the preceding February. Gallup made it back on the field less than eight months after his major surgery last year, missing only the first three games before suiting up for 16 in a row (including playoffs). The 27-year-old seems to be healthy now and should improve on his 2022 career-low averages of 30.3 yards per game and 5.7 yards per target, but…read more

  • To be featured more in 2023

    Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy has told Gallup (knee/ankle) that he will be featured more in 2023, according to Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News.

    Analysis: We should believe it when we see it. Gallup tore his ACL late in 2021 and missed the first three games of the 2022 campaign only to go on and average a career-low 30.3 yards per game and 10.9 yards per catch on 5.3 targets per contest. With the addition of Brandin Cooks as CeeDee Lamb's new sidekick and playing in an offense that wants to run the ball, Gallup will be fighting for leftover targets as the third option at best. He's not an exciting fantasy prospect headed into 2023 and is coming…read more

  • Restructures contract with Cowboys

    Gallup (knee/ankle) agreed to a restructured contract Monday, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Recovering from offseason knee and ankle clean-up procedures, Gallup's restructure creates roughly $7 million in cap space for the Cowboys. Gallup had a disappointing 2022, catching just 39 passes for 424 yards and four touchdowns and averaging a career-low 10.9 yards per catch after tearing his ACL the previous year.

  • Undergoes pair of surgeries

    Cowboys team owner Jerry Jones said Wednesday that Gallup recently had arthroscopic procedures on his right knee and right ankle, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Analysis: Gallup picked up a left ankle injury during the 2021 opener and then suffered a torn ACL in his left knee Week 17 of that same season, which delayed his 2022 debut until Week 4. He proceeded to play in every game thereafter, compiling a 44-470-5 receiving line on 83 targets in 16 games, including two playoff contests. Now with a pair of surgeries on his other leg, Gallup again will embark on a rehab effort with the aim to be healthy for the 2023 season. He just completed the first year of a…read more

  • Unable to bounce back in 2022

    Gallup caught 39 of 74 targets for 424 yards and four touchdowns over 14 games in the 2022 regular season.

    Analysis: The fifth-year wideout missed the first three games of the season while completing his recovery from ACL surgery, but given the disappointing numbers he ended up posting, it looks like the Cowboys may have rushed him back too soon. Gallup posted fewer yards in 2022 than he did the year before despite playing in five more games, and his only real impact came during a brief two-game stretch in Weeks 11 and 12 -- he set his season high for yards with 63 against the Giants, then followed that…read more

  • Only one catch Sunday

    Gallup caught one of six targets for 10 yards in Sunday's loss to the Commanders.

    Analysis: It was a shockingly bad performance from Dak Prescott and the entire Dallas offense in the regular-season finale, and the team's depth wideouts behind CeeDee Lamb were dragged down by their QB's struggles. Gallup hasn't topped four catches or 40 receiving yards since Week 12 but somewhat salvaged his fantasy value with three TDs over the last six games, making him a risky option in Monday's wild-card clash with the Buccaneers.

  • Three catches in win

    Gallup secured three of four targets for 39 yards in the Cowboys' 27-13 win over the Titans on Thursday night.

    Analysis: Gallup put together a serviceable night overall, but recent arrival T.Y. Hilton continued to poach some of the former's downfield role by producing a 4-50 line on five targets and recording a 28-yard grab along the way. Hilton's experience and fresh legs could continue allowing him to carve out more snaps at Gallup's expense, but further clarity may be gleaned on that front from their respective usage in a Week 18 road matchup against the Commanders a week from Sunday.

  • Gets into end zone Saturday

    Gallup secured four of seven targets for 36 yards and a touchdown in the Cowboys' 40-34 win over the Eagles on Saturday.

    Analysis: Gallup checked in third in receptions and targets on the afternoon while also recording his fourth touchdown of the season on a 12-yard grab late in the third quarter. Gallup has new competition for downfield work in veteran T.Y. Hilton, who tallied a 52-yard gain on his one catch in his team debut Saturday, but he should continue to hold down a solid complementary role in Thursday's favorable Week 17 road matchup against the Titans.

  • Just two grabs Sunday

    Gallup caught two of six targets for 40 yards in Sunday's win over the Texans.

    Analysis: It was another quiet effort for Gallup, who was outperformed by Noah Brown on the afternoon. While Gallup has seen at least six targets in five of the last six contests, he has yet to top five catches or 63 yards in a game this season, only making a fantasy impact when he's been able to get into the end zone. With Brown still a factor and James Washington now pushing for snaps and targets, Gallup will be a risky option Week 15 against the Jaguars on Sunday.

  • Dominates red zone on SNF

    Gallup (illness) had four receptions on seven targets for 23 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 54-19 win over the Colts.

    Analysis: Gallup made a catch worthy of the highlight reel on the first of his two red-zone scores, leaping over a draped defender to catch a high-point pass from Dak Prescott in the back corner of the end zone. The 26-year-old was questionable for this matchup with an illness, so fantasy managers who kept him active for the two-score day reaped the rewards. Gallup has struggled with health and consistency in 2022, resulting in a pedestrian 28-297-3 line through nine games. Sunday's big game could spark…read more

Coach Mike McCarthy told Jon Machota of The Athletic on Friday morning that he expected Gallup to be available Sunday, and that assumption has come to fruition.

  • Should play, despite questionable tag

    Gallup (illness) is expected to play in Sunday's game against the Colts, though he's officially listed as questionable, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Head coach Mike McCarthy said as much Friday, and Gallup's return to a limited practice after missing two days supports the notion he's on track to play. He had a season-high 63 yards in last week's win over the Giants, perhaps portending a strong finish to the season as he puts more distance between himself and last year's ACL tear.

  • Should play Sunday

    Coach Mike McCarthy expects Gallup (illness) to play Sunday against the Colts, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: The 26-year-old has been unable to practice this week due to an illness, but McCarthy doesn't expect that to affect the wideout's availability this weekend. It appears Gallup is headed toward a questionable tag, and the situation should receive more clarity when the Cowboys release their official injury report later Friday.

  • Absent for another practice

    Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy said Gallup (illness) won't practice Thursday, Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Analysis: Gallup will miss his second consecutive practice on account of the illness, but the Cowboys are seemingly preparing as though the receiver will be ready to go by the time Sunday's game against the Colts arrives. Both he and cornerback Trevon Diggs -- who was also sidelined Wednesday with an illness -- are set to participate in virtual meetings Thursday while they work through their respective ailments. If Gallup's condition doesn't improve as the Cowboys hope, the team could turn to Noah Brown,…read more

  • Misses practice with illness

    Gallup missed Wednesday's practice while recovering from an illness, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Gallup had season highs for catches (five) and yardage (63) last Thursday against the Giants, and he should have enough time to get healthy before Sunday's matchup with Indianapolis. If not, Noah Brown and Jalen Tolbert would be the top candidates to take over more receiver snaps.

  • Season-high five grabs

    Gallup caught five of eight targets for 63 yards in Thursday's 28-20 win over the Giants.

    Analysis: The catches and yardage total were season highs for Gallup, who missed the first three games of the season completing his recovery from an ACL tear and needed a few more weeks after that to shake off the rust. The fifth-year wideout has a 16-188-0 receiving line on 25 targets over his last four contests, and though he's trending in the right direction, the Cowboys remain linked to free-agent receiver Odell Beckham, who could bring extra competition for targets.

  • Garners four targets in blowout win

    Gallup caught three of four targets for 41 yards in Sunday's 40-3 win over Minnesota.

    Analysis: Gallup looked strong despite the low output, breaking tough tackles on two separate occasions to churn out some extra yardage. Unfortunately for his fantasy managers, the 26-year-old fell victim to a game script that called for heavy running-back usage and the resting of starters in the fourth quarter. Gallup will try to get his disappointing 2022 campaign jumpstarted against the Giants on Thursday.

  • Flat performance in loss

    Gallup had four receptions (seven targets) for 35 yards in Sunday's 31-28 overtime loss to the Packers.

    Analysis: Gallup gave fantasy managers a scare when he appeared to suffer an injury to the same leg that cost him most of the 2021 campaign early in the contest. The 26-year-old was able to return to the field after a brief visit to the medical tent and finish out the tilt without any setbacks. Gallup will have a prime opportunity to break out of his cold spell next Sunday against the Vikings, who are extremely thin behind veteran starting cornerback Patrick Peterson.

  • Gets more involved

    Gallup recorded four receptions on six targets for 49 yards in Sunday's 49-29 win over the Bears.

    Analysis: Gallup matched a season best with four receptions and also narrowly posted his best yardage total of the campaign. He still worked behind CeeDee Lamb and Dalton Schultz in terms of targets, and that involvement could continue going forward. Given that Dallas prefers to keep the ball on the ground when possible, Gallup's volume is likely to be inconsistent at best moving forward.

  • Blanked by Detroit

    Gallup failed to catch either of his two targets in Sunday's win over the Lions.

    Analysis: Dak Prescott's return from a thumb injury created a lot of optimism around the Cowboys offense, but Gallup instead had his worst performance since he rejoined the lineup Week 4. CeeDee Lamb and Noah Brown both posted solid numbers against Detroit, so the issue appears to be more on Gallup's end than Prescott's, and it's possible he's simply hit a bit of a wall after missing all of the offseason program and preseason while recovering from last season's ACL tear. Gallup will look to rebound Week…read more

  • Out of sync with QB

    Gallup caught just two of seven targets for 18 yards in Sunday's 26-17 loss to the Eagles.

    Analysis: Cooper Rush was not up to the task of facing Philadelphia's dominant defensive unit, as he failed to complete half of his passes and Gallup was the receiver who suffered the worst (28.6 catch rate). There are two positive takeaways to be had from the wideout's rough game. First, Gallup's seven targets finished behind only CeeDee Lamb's 10. The other good news is that Dak Prescott (thumb) could return as soon as next Sunday's matchup against the Lions, which could boost all of Dallas' receiving…read more

  • Hauls in four passes Sunday

    Gallup caught four of five targets for 44 yards in Sunday's 22-10 win over the Rams.

    Analysis: The Cowboys' passing game didn't have much to do in a game dominated by the team's defense and rushing attack, but Gallup still carved out a little production for himself in his second game of the season. The veteran receiver appears to be rounding into form after last year's knee injury, just in time for a big NFC East clash with the Eagles in Week 6.

  • Scores in 2022 debut

    Gallup caught two passes for 24 yards and one touchdown on three targets against Washington on Sunday.

    Analysis: Gallup's target count was a bit disappointing, but he didn't seem especially limited as he made his 2022 debut following his 2021 season-ending ACL tear. A more likely reason for Gallup's limited usage would simply be the fact that quarterback Cooper Rush, though he played well overall Sunday, doesn't have the arm to make the most of Gallup's downfield skill set. If Dak Prescott (thumb) can return to full strength soon, that would probably help Gallup generate a bit more momentum.

    Gallup (knee) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Commanders, Jori Epstein of Yahoo Sports reports.

    Analysis: Gallup finally has been removed from the injury report after two weeks of full participation in every practice. Other players coming back from severe injuries have struggled to stay healthy this year, but the Cowboys hope they've been cautious enough to reduce Gallup's odds of meeting the same fate. To that end, he may have his snaps limited in his first game or two back in the lineup.

    Analysis: Dating back to last Thursday, Gallup has handled every practice rep, but his season debut has been delayed as he completes the later stages of his recovery from the torn left ACL that he sustained back on Jan. 2. There's hope he'll feel comfortable enough to return to action Sunday against the Commanders, but if he enters the weekend as questionable, a game-time decision likely is in store for Gallup.

    Analysis: After ramping up to and maintaining full practice participation last week, Gallup had a chance to return this past Monday in New York. Ultimately, the Cowboys exercised caution with the fifth-year wide receiver and held him out for the win over the Giants, instead turning focus to getting him ready for Sunday's game against the Commanders.

    Analysis: Gallup said he felt capable of playing in Monday's win over the Giants, but noted that he's in need of a few more padded practices before being mentally prepared to make his return to the field. Hill relays that Gallup is eying his season debut Sunday versus the Commanders, but the situation will still warrant monitoring. Meanwhile, Cooper Rush looks on track to draw another start versus Washington, but top quarterback Dak Prescott (thumb) could be back in action as soon as Week 5.

  • Optimism for Week 4 debut

    Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy said Tuesday that Gallup (knee) will "get a bunch of work" Wednesday and "is close" to making his season debut, adding he's "hopeful" the wideout will suit up Sunday against the Commanders, Patrik Walker of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: Gallup logged a few days of practices ahead of the team's Monday night contest against the Giants, but he was ultimately held out. However, barring a setback, it appears like he'll have a good shot at making his season debut in Week 4. Noah Brown has emerged as a solid target for Cooper Rush, who continues to fill in for Dak Prescott (thumb), but when Gallup eventually returns, he'll likely slide into the No. 2 spot behind CeeDee Lamb.

However, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reported earlier Monday that Gallup instead was trending toward another absence, which has come to pass.

    Analysis: Gallup practiced in full leading up to Monday's contest, so for a moment his status appeared to be trending in the right direction, but the wideout now is expected to miss another game before presumably returning to action Week 4. However, an official word on Gallup's status may not come until roughly 90 minutes before Monday's 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff. If Gallup is unavailable Monday, Noah Brown once again will be set for a key role on offense alongside CeeDee Lamb.

    Analysis: Gallup is listed as questionable, but the expectation is the $62 million receiver will make his season debut after practicing all week. It couldn't come at a better time, as the Cowboys enter a surprisingly critical NFC East battle without star quarterback Dak Prescott. Backup signal caller Cooper Rush has leaned on Noah Brown heavily during his short stint under center, but it's entirely possible the Cowboys could work Gallup slowly into the mix, which would still afford plenty of…read more

McCarthy also noted Gallup likely won't handle a full allotment of snaps, which is no shock considering he tore his left ACL in early January.

    Gallup (knee) is expected to make his season debut Monday against the Giants if he avoids a setback in practice during the week, Michael Gehlken of the Dallas Morning News reports.

    Analysis: Dallas has made sure not to rush Gallup in his recovery from a January ACL tear, but the wide receiver has progressed to the point of full practice participation, signalling to the coaching staff that he's approaching readiness for game action. Coach Mike McCarthy elaborated that Gallup won't be given an every-down role out of the gate, per Gehlken, so Noah Brown could continue to function as the No. 2 wide receiver behind CeeDee Lamb for the majority of Monday's game.

    Analysis: Gallup is in line to handle full practice activity for the first time since initially tearing the ACL in his left knee in January, a notable step in the right direction. As long as he can avoid any setbacks during the next few days, Gallup appears to have a fair shot at returning versus the Giants on Monday. Dallas' first official injury report of the week will arrive Thursday, at which point Gallup's practice status will be clarified.

    Cowboys vice president Stephen Jones said Monday that it's "certainly possible" Gallup (knee) could play Week 3 versus the Giants, Clarence E. Hill Jr. of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

    Analysis: Gallup has resumed practicing in a limited capacity and could have a real shot at making his season debut versus the Giants on Monday Night Football. The Cowboys will roll with Cooper Rush through at least Week 4, so it would be a notable boon for the passing game to get Gallup back in action. It's possible that Dallas wants to see Gallup resume practicing as a full participant before clearing him for a return to game action.

  • Not slated to play Sunday

    Coach Mike McCarthy confirmed Friday that Gallup (knee) won't play Sunday against the Bengals.

    Analysis: Gallup has been able to practice in a limited fashion so far this season, but the Cowboys are proceeding deliberately with the wideout, who is bouncing back from an ACL tear that he sustained Jan. 2. Gallup thus will target a potential return to action Monday, Sept. 26 against the Giants, but for now Dallas' top available WR options are CeeDee Lamb, Noah Brown and Dennis Houston.

Hill Jr. of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.

    Analysis: While Gallup's limited listing on the official practice report represented no change from Wednesday, the wideout took a meaningful step forward Thursday by practicing in pads for the first time since he tore the ACL in his left knee Jan. 2.

    Analysis: The Cowboys will likely wait until after Friday's practice to officially rule Gallup out for the Week 2 matchup, but all reports seemingly indicate that the wideout is making good progress in his recovery from the surgery he required in February to repair a torn ACL in his left knee.

The Cowboys' passing game is in dire need of a boost, especially with Dak Prescott (thumb) sidelined at least a few weeks, but the team may still continue with a cautious approach to Gallup's recovery.

Despite some mixed signals during the week from head coach Mike McCarthy, Gallup was always expected to miss the season opener, but the Cowboys' decision to keep the wideout off the PUP list suggests they expect him to be ready before Week 5.

    Analysis: According to Watkins, Gallup was working in full pads Thursday, marking back-to-back appearances on the field after coach Mike McCarthy said Monday that the fifth-year wide receiver wouldn't practice or play Week 1 against the Buccaneers. The decision to rule out Gallup ahead of the season opener isn't a surprise considering he tore the ACL in his left knee Jan. 2, but his ability to mix into drills this week generally is an encouraging sign that he'll return to action early on this season.

He'll still be held out of Sunday's game against the Buccaneers and may not do team drills this week, but his activity Wednesday is at least a good sign that Gallup has a shot to play Week 2 or 3.

    Analysis: McCarthy's comments are the latest hint that Gallup could play early in the season, though both the wideout and the team have said a Week 1 cameo is unlikely. The Cowboys chose to keep him on the active roster rather than moving him to injured reserve on cutdown day, a move that would have ruled Gallup out for the first four weeks of the season. He suffered the ACL tear Week 17 last season and seemingly has a shot to miss only a couple games because of it.

    Analysis: Both Gallup and team officials have said the wideout is unlikely to play Week 1, but the expectation is he will suit up within the first four games of the season. In fact, team owner Jerry Jones said Gallup would be healthy enough to play Week 1 "if it were the Super Bowl," before noting that the team wants to be cautious with a long season ahead. Gallup spent all of August on the active/PUP list, but now that he's on the roster he can practice with his teammates if/when he's deemed ready.

    Analysis: Gallup, who is working back from surgery to repair a torn ACL, is currently on the active/PUP list, but it looks like he'll avoid placement on the reserve version of the list, which would force him to miss at least four games. At this stage, Gallup isn't expected to play Week 1, but the Cowboys are leaving open the possibility that the wideout could return to action not too long after the Sept. 11 opener versus the Buccaneers.

    Gallup (knee) acknowledged Thursday that at this time he doesn't view being ready to play Week 1 as a realistic possibility, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: With that in mind, the wideout -- who is on the active/PUP list as he bounces back from ACL surgery -- doesn't have a precise timetable for his return to game action. "We got a little ways to go," Gallup noted Thursday. As long as he's unavailable, look for Jalen Tolbert and James Washington to see added reps behind Dallas' top healthy wideout CeeDee Lamb.

The 26-year-old wideout can come off the PUP list at any point in training camp if deemed healthy, though the Cowboys seem unlikely to rush him back on the field at less than 100 percent after having recently signed him to a five-year extension.

  • Week 1 status TBD

    Cowboys owner Jerry Jones hinted Monday that Gallup (knee) isn't a lock to be available for Week 1 action, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Analysis: The Cowboys clearly have confidence in Gallup's long-term prospects, having recently signed the wideout to a five-year deal, reportedly worth up to $62.5 million. However, Jones acknowledged that Gallup, who tore his ACL this past January, may not be 100 percent by the time the team's season opener rolls around. "Optimistically, I expect him to give us a question mark around the first game," Jones noted Monday. "And I see a conversation that says conservatively, you would like to have a couple…read more

  • Stays in Big D on five-year deal

    Gallup (knee) signed a five-year, $62.5 million contract extension with the Cowboys on Sunday.

    Analysis: Gallup had been trending toward a deal to remain with the Cowboys since early March, and he'll avoid free agency with a deal that will keep him in Dallas through the 2026 season. The 26-year-old sustained a clean ACL tear in early January, but there's hope that he'll be cleared for game action in time for the start of the regular season. Gallup appeared in nine games during the 2021 campaign and secured 35 of 62 targets for 445 yards and two touchdowns. Once he's fully healthy, he's in line to…read more

  • Reportedly close to re-signing

    The Cowboys and Gallup (knee) are reportedly working on a deal to keep the pending free agent with the team, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Schefter's sources indicate that an agreement is considered close, with the latest on Gallup's chances of landing a new deal with Dallas arriving in the wake of a report that the team is prepared to move on from fellow pass-catcher Amari Cooper. In such a scenario, the Cowboys would free up needed cap space, some of which could go toward re-signing Gallup. Though the wideout is coming off a torn ACL suffered late last season, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News previously indicated that…read more

  • Knee surgery on tap

    Gallup is slated to undergo surgery Feb. 10 to repair the torn ACL in his left knee, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Analysis: Gallup is exactly one month removed from suffering the injury, and the aforementioned procedure will be overseen by team physician Dan Cooper. The Cowboys are optimistic that the fourth-year wide receiver will be healthy by Week 1 of the 2022 season, but for whom the upcoming unrestricted free agent will be playing remains far from certain. The team can work out a long-term deal with Gallup before he hits the open market March 16, at which point the entire league can negotiate with him.

  • Hasn't had surgery yet

    Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy revealed Wednesday that Gallup (knee) hasn't yet had surgery to repair his torn ACL, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Analysis: The delay in his procedure isn't out of the ordinary, as it often takes a few weeks for knee swelling to subside after an ACL injury before doctors are comfortable operating, even when in the case where it's a "clean" ligament tear like Gallup's. As of Wednesday, it's been two and a half weeks since Gallup suffered the injury in a Week 17 loss to Arizona. Still, the timing of his ACL tear puts Gallup in serious danger of missing the start of the 2022 campaign, a major complication as he's…read more

    Dallas placed Gallup (knee) on injured reserve Tuesday, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Gallup's move to IR was fully expected after the Cowboys confirmed the receiver suffered a torn ACL in his left knee during Sunday's loss to the Cardinals. The injury will sideline Gallup through the entirety of Dallas' run through the postseason and leaves his availability for training camp and the start of the 2022 season up in the air.

    Analysis: Gallup will miss the remainder of the season as a result of his injury, but he's expected to make a full recovery. The 25-year-old appeared in eight games for the Cowboys during the 2021 campaign and secured 35 of 62 targets for 445 yards and two touchdowns. Gallup is slated to become a free agent during the offseason after spending his first four professional seasons in Dallas.

    Cowboys team owner Jerry Jones said the team believes Gallup has a torn ACL, and he's scheduled to get an MRI on Monday to confirm the injury, Michael Gehlken of the Dallas Morning News reports.

    Analysis: A torn ACL would not only knock Gallup out for the remainder of this season, but it would also most likely sideline him for most or all of next season as well -- awful timing for the pending free agent. It's a tough break for Gallup, who suffered the injury while scoring a 21-yard touchdown in the second quarter.

Per Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News, the team's medical staff conducted the ACL test on Gallup's left knee before he required assistance to get to the sideline and eventually the locker room.

  • Catches two passes in win

    Gallup secured two of five targets for 53 yards in Sunday's 56-14 win over Washington.

    Analysis: Gallup didn't necessarily have a huge game Sunday, but his five targets were a promising sight as the Cowboys offense got back on track against Washington. In fact, the 25-year-old wideout has not seen fewer than five targets in any of the eight games he's played this season. Always a threat for a big play, Gallup could be hard to trust in the fantasy playoffs with so many mouths to feed in Dallas. The Cowboys will host the Cardinals in Week 17.

    Gallup caught three of five targets for 32 yards in Sunday's win over the Giants.

    Analysis: He finished third on the Cowboys in catches, targets and yards behind Dalton Schultz and CeeDee Lamb on an afternoon in which there was little pressure on the offense to air it out. Gallup has caught at least three passes in six straight games since returning to the lineup from a calf injury, giving him a solid floor heading into a Week 16 rematch with Washington.

  • Efficiency lags

    Gallup caught five passes for 60 yards on nine targets against Washington on Sunday.

    Analysis: Gallup's nine targets ranked ahead of Amari Cooper (seven), and barely behind CeeDee Lamb (10). It's unfortunate that Gallup couldn't capitalize with better returns on the workload, but the Washington defense made it hard on the athletic wideout and quarterback Dak Prescott. Dallas faces the Giants on the road in Week 15, and if Gallup's recent target rate holds up, he could see some big-play opportunities in that setting.

    Gallup brought in five of nine targets for 36 yards and a touchdown in the Cowboys' 27-17 win over the Saints on Thursday night.

    Analysis: Gallup made a trademark acrobatic touchdown grab in right corner of the end zone with just under a minute remaining in the first quarter to cap off an 80-yard scoring march and put the first points of the night on the board. The fourth-year wideout now encouragingly has three straight five-catch efforts on a total of 27 targets heading into a Week 14 road matchup versus Washington a week from Sunday.

  • Tops century mark in OT loss

    Gallup caught five of eight targets for 106 yards in a 36-33 overtime loss to the Raiders on Thanksgiving.

    Analysis: With Amari Cooper (COVID-19) and CeeDee Lamb (concussion) both out of action, Gallup was the Cowboys' de facto No. 1 wideout, although it took a little while for him and Dak Prescott to get on the same page Thursday. The 100-yard performance was Gallup's first of the season, but his role is likely to diminish in Week 13 against the Saints with at least Cooper, and possibly both teammates, expected back in the lineup.

  • Headed for No. 1 wideout role

    Gallup is expected to serve as Dallas' No. 1 wideout Thursday against the Raiders with Amari Cooper (illness) on the reserve/COVID-19 list and with CeeDee Lamb (concussion) listed as questionable but not in line to play, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: During the nine games in which both have appeared this season, Cooper and Lamb have averaged a combined 15.3 targets per contest. That leaves plenty of volume up for grabs among the Dallas pass catchers, and Gallup should rank at the top of the pecking order for targets among the available options. After Cooper sat out last week's loss to the Chiefs and Lamb exited early due to the head injury, Gallup finished with 10 targets, though he only caught five of them for 44 yards.

    Gallup caught five of 10 targets for 44 yards in Sunday's 19-9 loss to Kansas City.

    Analysis: With Amari Cooper (COVID-19) unavailable and CeeDee Lamb leaving the game early with a concussion, Gallup ended up leading the Cowboys in targets, although Dak Prescott didn't get enough time in the pocket to stretch the field and let routes develop.

    Gallup (calf) caught three of five targets for 42 yards in Sunday's 43-3 win over Atlanta.

    Analysis: Gallup returned from IR for his first appearance since the season opener. He ranked third among Dallas' wide receivers in yardage behind CeeDee Lamb (94) and Amari Cooper (51), so Gallup slotted into his customary role as the team's No. 3 option at the position. Lamb exited with an arm bruise after scoring two touchdowns, but the injury is believed to be minor, so Gallup's spot on the depth chart should remain unchanged in Week 11 against the Chiefs.

    Analysis: Gallup was cleared to resume practicing Oct. 25, but after he had missed the preceding five games with a left calf strain, the Cowboys were inclined to ease him back in slowly. He's continued to progress gradually in his recovery from the injury in practices the past two weeks, and his advancement to full activity Wednesday should put him on track to play Week 10 for the first time since the season opener.

    Analysis: The team had been hopeful that Gallup, who last played in Week 1, might be ready to return from a left calf strain, but he'll have to wait until a Week 10 matchup with the Falcons on Nov. 14 to potentially suit up for Dallas.

    Coach Mike McCarthy said Wednesday "we'd like to see another week's work" when asked about the chances of Gallup (calf) returning for Sunday's game against Denver, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Analysis: "We're really trusting the rehab process and timelines of what's ideal, what's a little early," McCarthy said. Gallup hasn't played since Week 1 due to a calf strain, and while the Cowboys haven't yet ruled him out for Week 9, it looks like the fourth-year wideout may be trending toward one more absence. If Gallup indeed misses Sunday's game against Denver, Cedrick Wilson will once again operate as the Cowboys' No. 3 wideout.

    Analysis: The Cowboys designated Gallup to return from IR on Monday, opening a 21-day window to move him back to the active roster. He's been practicing since Wednesday and hasn't officially been ruled out for Week 8, but it sounds like Week 9 against Denver is the more likely return date.

    Analysis: The Cowboys will be on bye Week 7, but it looks like Gallup could be designated to return from IR leading up to Week 8 action. With that in mind, the wideout is worth adding by fantasy managers with roster flexibility in leagues where he's been cut loose.

    Gallup sustained a strained left calf during Thursday's loss at Tampa Bay and will be sidelined 3-to-5 weeks, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Analysis: Gallup exited in the second half Thursday with what was termed a left ankle issue at the time, but upon further evaluation the nature of the injury has been confirmed. The Cowboys thus won't have the fourth-year wide receiver available again until October, with his recovery ultimately determining when he gets back on the field. In the meantime, Amari Cooper and CeeDee Lamb should see plenty of volume, while Cedrick Wilson gets a boost in targets as well.

    Gallup will be re-evaluated Friday after leaving Thursday's 31-29 loss to the Buccaneers with an ankle injury, Greg Auman of The Athletic report.

    Analysis: Gallup stayed on the sidelines for the rest of the game, and he was spotted walking under his own power, albeit with a limp, after the contest concluded. The 25-year-old posted four receptions for 36 yards -- all in the first half -- before suffering this injury. If Gallup is unable to play in Week 2 against the Chargers, Cedrick Wilson will likely operate as the Cowboys' No. 3 wide receiver.

    Gallup caught one of two targets for four yards in Saturday's preseason loss to the Texans.

    Analysis: The Cowboys had their offensive starters out for the entire first quarter, but with Dak Prescott (shoulder) not one of them, there wasn't much production to go around in the passing game. Gallup is the clear third option in Dallas behind Amari Cooper and CeeDee Lamb, but if Prescott is healthy, that role could still lead to solid fantasy numbers.

  • Seeing reps in slot

    Gallup has been received work in the slot during training camp, Rob Phillips of the Cowboys' official site reports. "Everybody's labeled me as just a deep ball threat, but I know I can do a whole lot more," Gallup said. "So me being able to come on the inside and run some routes from there, short, intermediate game, definitely can show that I'm more versatile than a lot of folks might think."

    Analysis: The Cowboys already have two capable options in the slot in CeeDee Lamb and Amari Cooper (ankle), so Gallup may not see a whole lot of action on the inside during the regular season. Nevertheless, anything that allows offensive coordinator Kellen Moore to get the best possible matchups for his elite trio of receivers can only help boost their numbers. Additional flexibility would also help improve Gallup's marketability as he heads into free agency next offseason.

    Analysis: The Cowboys passing game re-discovered its early-season form in this one, and Gallup capitalized with his most productive outing of the season, leading Dallas in catches and targets while tying Amari Cooper for the team lead in receiving yards. It's been a mostly disappointing campaign overall for Gallup, but the third-year wideout could wipe all that away with another big effort in Week 17's clash with the Giants, as both teams remain alive in the hunt for the NFC East title.

    Gallup (hip) will be a limited participant at practice Wednesday, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: The report notes that head coach Mike McCarthy believes that Gallup will be able to play Sunday against the Eagles. The wideout's ability to practice Wednesday -- albeit in a limited fashion -- is a positive indicator toward that end.

  • Could return Week 16

    Gallup (hip) has avoided serious injury and hasn't yet been ruled out to face the Eagles on Sunday, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Analysis: Gallup was forced out of last weekend's win over the 49ers due to a strained hip, but not before hauling in three catches for 26 yards and a score. The third-year pro has seen 35 targets in five games since the Cowboys' bye. If Gallup misses any time, Noah Brown, Cedrick Wilson and Malik Turner will all be candidates to handle more work behind CeeDee Lamb and Amari Cooper.

  • Strains hip Week 15

    Gallup sustained a strained right hip during Sunday's 41-33 win over the 49ers, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Prior to his departure later in the game, Gallup had three receptions (on five targets) for 26 yards and one touchdown. While clarity regarding his status likely will arrive at some point in the coming days, the Cowboys still have Amari Cooper and CeeDee Lamb, backed up by Noah Brown, Cedrick Wilson and Malik Turner, at wide receiver if Gallup misses time.

  • Sustains hip injury

    Gallup won't return to Sunday's contest against the 49ers due to a hip injury, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Analysis: While the announcement came without context, Gallup will finish his day with three catches (on five targets) for 26 yards and one touchdown. The score marked just his third of the season on his 90 targets at the time of his departure. In the wake of this health concern, the Cowboys' receiver group has been whittled down to Amari Cooper, CeeDee Lamb, Noah Brown and Cedrick Wilson.

  • Does little with six targets

    Gallup caught two of six targets for 23 yards in Sunday's 30-7 win over the Bengals.

    Analysis: The Cowboys' passing game didn't need to do much after three early Cincinnati fumbles led to 17 first-half points for Dallas, but Gallup still failed to take advantage of his opportunities. Despite consistent target volume, he's topped 50 receiving yards just once in the last five games heading into a potentially tough matchup Week 15 against the 49ers.

  • Paces air attack in loss

    Gallup secured seven of 11 targets for 86 yards and a touchdown in the Cowboys' 34-17 loss to the Ravens on Tuesday night.

    Analysis: Coming off a six-catch effort on Thanksgiving Day against Washington, Gallup followed up by pacing the Cowboys in receptions, receiving yardage and targets. The third-year wideout's yardage total was also his highest since Week 3, a welcome surge for fantasy managers at a critical time of year. Gallup will look to continue his upward trajectory while helping quarterback Andy Dalton extract some revenge on his former employer in a favorable Week 14 road matchup in Cincinnati.

  • Six catches in Thanksgiving loss

    Gallup caught six of eight targets for 41 yards in Thursday's 41-16 loss to Washington.

    Analysis: He tied Amari Cooper for the team lead in targets and catches on the afternoon, but while Cooper saw use as a downfield threat, Gallup's primary role was moving the chains. The third-year wideout's volume continues to trend up, as Gallup's seen 32 targets over the last four games, but it's resulted in only a meager 18-167-0 line. He's unlikely to break out in Week 13's tough matchup on the road against the Ravens.

  • Another quiet performance

    Gallup caught two of five targets for 29 yards in Sunday's win over the Vikings.

    Analysis: With Andy Dalton back under center, the Cowboys' passing game was a little more potent, but Gallup still found himself taking a back seat to Amari Cooper and CeeDee Lamb. Gallup's numbers are down across the board this season, and things might not get any easier for him in Week 12 as Dallas faces a stingy Washington secondary on Thanksgiving.

  • Musters up 36 yards

    Gallup caught three of seven targets for 36 yards in Sunday's 24-19 loss to the Steelers.

    Analysis: Another week, another quarterback for the Cowboys. Gallup enjoyed a season-high 12 targets with Ben DiNucci under center last week, but he handled a more modest target share Sunday with Garrett Gilbert, tying CeeDee Lamb and Dalton Schultz for the team high in the category. Most of Gallup's production came from a 20-yard reception on the Cowboys' final drive when the Steelers forfeited short throws to protect against big plays. Andy Dalton (concussion) may be back following the Week 10 bye, and…read more

  • Enjoys 12 targets in losing effort

    Gallup had seven receptions (12 targets) for 61 yards in Sunday's 23-9 loss to Philadelphia.

    Analysis: Gallup led all Cowboys in terms of receiving production after being held without a catch against the Football Team last week. While this was a step in the right direction for the talented wideout, it was clear that rookie third-string quarterback Ben DiNucci will not be a Cinderella story (52 percent completion percentage for 180 yards and no touchdowns). There is a chance Andy Dalton (concussion) could return for next week's tilt against the Steelers, and while the veteran is an upgrade over…read more

  • Blanked in Sunday's rout

    Gallup failed to catch either of his targets in Sunday's 25-3 loss to Washington.

    Analysis: The third-year receiver's production bottomed out on a day in which the Cowboys were forced to turn to rookie seventh-round pick Ben DiNucci after Andy Dalton (concussion) left the game, with neither QB getting time in the pocket behind a patchwork offensive line. The outlook for the entire Dallas offense is bleak heading into Week 8's road clash with the Eagles, but if DiNucci does make his first NFL start, Gallup will at least be starting from the same place as Amari Cooper and CeeDee Lamb in…read more

  • Limited to pair of grabs in loss

    Gallup secured two of six targets for 23 yards in the Cowboys' 38-10 loss to the Cardinals on Monday night.

    Analysis: The big-play receiver couldn't recreate his magic from the critical final drive against the Giants a week earlier, during which he made two acrobatic receptions to help put Dallas in field-goal range. Gallup's reception tally tied for his lowest of the season, while his yardage was a low-water mark for him in 2020. He also dropped a would-be touchdown at the end of the first half, forcing Dallas to settle for a field goal. Gallup has now been under 30 receiving yards twice in the last three…read more

  • Comes up big in comeback win

    Gallup caught all four of his targets for 73 yards in Sunday's 37-34 win over the Giants.

    Analysis: Once again, Gallup saw few looks from Dak Prescott early in the game as the quarterback showed great chemistry with rookie CeeDee Lamb. However, after Prescott was carted off the field with a likely season-ending ankle injury, Gallup found himself on the end of completions of 19 and 38 yards from Andy Dalton to set up the game-winning field goal. Gallup had often been the forgotten man in the Dallas passing game through the early part of the year, but the unfortunate switch at QB could prove to…read more

  • Disappears in shootout loss

    Gallup caught two of five targets for 29 yards in Sunday's 49-38 loss to the Browns.

    Analysis: While it's not a surprise to see Amari Cooper (12-134-1 on 16 targets) or first-round pick CeeDee Lamb (5-79-2 on seven targets) get more looks from Dak Prescott in any particular game, Gallup even found himself with fewer targets than Cedrick Wilson and fewer catches than Noah Brown in another disappointing performance. As long as Prescott is forced to attempt 50-plus passes per game, however, there will be plenty of opportunities for Gallup to shake off his slow start to the season.

  • Breaks out in Week 3 loss

    Gallup caught six of nine targets for 138 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 38-31 loss to the Seahawks.

    Analysis: Both Dak Prescott and Russell Wilson put up huge passing numbers, but Gallup led both teams in receiving yards on the afternoon. The third-year wideout also found the end zone for the first time this season on a 43-yard bomb early in the fourth quarter as the Cowboys tried to complete another big comeback. Gallup will look to keep his momentum going in Week 4 against a Browns defense that's already given up five TDs to opposition WRs.

  • Held to two catches Sunday

    Gallup caught two of five targets for 58 yards in Sunday's comeback win over the Falcons.

    Analysis: He was fifth in targets on the day for the Cowboys, as Amari Cooper, CeeDee Lamb, Ezekiel Elliott and even tight end Dalton Schultz all saw more looks from Dak Prescott. Gallup did make his receptions count, however, hauling in a 20-yard pass late in the first half to set up a field goal and then making a leaping 38-yard grab along the sideline late in the fourth quarter that eventually led to Prescott's third rushing TD of the game. One of Dallas' trio of wide receivers is likely going to be…read more

  • Big play called back

    Gallup had three receptions (five targets) for 50 yards in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Rams.

    Analysis: Gallup would have had a bigger fantasy performance -- and the Cowboys potentially a different game result -- if a questionable offensive pass interference call didn't wipe out what would have been a huge reception in the final minutes of this tight contest. The 24-year-old ended up finishing third in targets, falling one behind rookie standout CeeDee Lamb and a whopping five behind No.1 wideout Amari Cooper. It is apparent who is Dak Prescott's favorite target, but it appears Gallup will have…read more

  • Gets praise from McCarthy

    Coach Mike McCarthy has referred to Gallup as a "No. 1 receiver", Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Amari Cooper has three more years of experience and a massive extension on his side, but that didn't stop McCarthy from stating, "I think we're very fortunate to have three players with that level of potential to go out and play at that level." The depth chart reads Cooper, Gallup and rookie first-rounder CeeDee Lamb, in that order. However, Gallup bested Cooper in targets per game (8.1 versus 7.4) last season and was also was one of 16 receivers with at least 1,100 yards and six touchdowns in…read more

  • More competition for targets

    Gallup will face competition for the No. 2 wide receiver spot in Dallas after the team selected CeeDee Lamb with the 17th overall pick in the draft.

    Analysis: Heading into his third NFL season, Gallup's spot seemed secure behind Amari Cooper, but the duo is now joined by a player who many experts tabbed as the most complete receiver in the entire 2020 draft class. On the bright side, there are plenty of looks up for grabs in the Cowboys' offense after slot receiver Randall Cobb and tight end Jason Witten (166 combined targets last year) both left in free agency, so even if Lamb makes a splash right away, Gallup's floor should be safe. Given the new…read more

  • Huge performance to close out year

    Gallup caught five of seven targets for 98 yards and three touchdowns in Sunday's 47-16 win over Washington.

    Analysis: While the Cowboys still ended up missing the playoffs when the Eagles beat the Giants in Week 17, Gallup did everything he could to try and drag his team into the postseason, hauling in scores of four, 32 and 45 yards as Dallas pulled away in the second half. The second-year receiver finishes 2019 with 66 catches on 113 targets for 1,107 yards and six TDs, more than doubling his rookie production. With Amari Cooper's fate as a free agent still up in the air, Gallup could head into next season…read more

  • Just misses century mark in loss

    Gallup caught five of 11 targets for a team-high 98 yards in Sunday's 17-9 loss to the Eagles.

    Analysis: The last of those targets came late in the fourth quarter, when Dak Prescott looked Gallup's way in the end zone on fourth down only for Sidney Jones to knock the pass away. The second-year receiver did go over 1,000 yards on the season with the performance, and he'll look to pad his career-best totals further in Week 17's must-win game against Washington.

  • Not needed against Rams

    Gallup caught one of three targets for six yards in Sunday's 44-21 win over the Rams.

    Analysis: The Cowboys leaned heavily on their running game, as Ezekiel Elliott and Tony Pollard each ran for over 100 yards and combined for three TDs, so there wasn't a whole lot of production left over for the team's wide receivers. Gallup still is within striking distance of his first career 1,000-yard campaign, needing only 89 more yards, but he could have a tough time getting there Week 16 against an Eagles defense that held him to three catches for 34 yards in their previous meeting this season.

    Gallup secured six of 10 targets for 109 yards in the Cowboys' 31-24 loss to the Bears on Thursday.

    Analysis: Gallup either co-led or paced the team in receptions, receiving yardage and targets, and he crossed the 100-yard mark for the fourth time overall on the season. The second-year wideout has also seen double-digit targets in three of his last five games, although he hasn't scored in four consecutive contests. However, with the Cowboys likely to continue focusing heavily on the air attack while trying to nail down an underwhelming NFC East over the final three games, Gallup should have plenty of…read more

  • Just misses big day against Bills

    Gallup caught three of six targets for 63 yards in Thursday's 26-15 loss to the Bills.

    Analysis: While his final numbers were merely OK, Gallup could have had a much better line after he was initially ruled to have caught a fourth-quarter touchdown as the Cowboys tried to mount a late comeback. Upon review, however, the second-year receiver was ruled not to have gotten his second foot down in bounds. Gallup has maintained a solid PPR floor by catching at least three passes for more than 50 yards in four straight games, but he'll look to make a bigger impact next week in Chicago.

    Gallup caught four of six targets for 55 yards in Sunday's 13-9 loss to the Patriots.

    Analysis: The Cowboys' offense failed to score a TD for the first time all season due to a combination of rain and a tough opponent, but Gallup still caught at least four passes for the third straight game. The second-year receiver should remain one of Dak Prescott's top options in the Thanksgiving home game against the Bills.

    Gallup caught nine of 13 targets for 148 yards during Sunday's 35-27 win over the Lions.

    Analysis: Gallup led the team in targets and catches as he topped the 100-yard mark for the third time this season. He perhaps received some extra attention from Dak Prescott as Amari Cooper was visibly limited by injuries as well as a tough matchup against Darius Slay. Regardless of Cooper's health, Gallup is clearly an integral part of the passing game and will look to build off this excellent performance next Sunday on the road against the Patriots.

    Gallup caught four passes (10 targets) for 76 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 28-24 loss to Minnesota.

    Analysis: All three of the Cowboys' top receivers went off in this contest, but their collective efforts fell just short in an exciting primetime matchup. Gallup's 10 targets were good for second among all of Dak Prescott's receiving options. The second-year wideout has looked good in the No. 2 spot on the depth chart behind Amari Cooper, and he has shown the ability to produce big performances in games where Prescott is asked to shoulder more of the offensive workload.

    Gallup caught two of six targets for 33 yards and a touchdown in Monday night's 37-18 win over the Giants.

    Analysis: Gallup didn't have the biggest game, but still made a considerable impact with one of his touches. After making a first-down reception, Gallup actually galloped over a Giants defender and into the end zone in acrobatic fashion, giving the Cowboys an eight-point lead to start the fourth quarter. In doing so, he scored for the second time this season, which helped compensate for his third straight game with under 50 receiving yards.
