A critical season is ahead for the Dallas Cowboys as many players have lingering questions, but who will be their leaders in the major statistical areas?
There are more questions surrounding members of the Dallas Cowboys this season than any in recent memory. After a slump of a campaign in 2017, concerns are all over the place. Head coach Jason Garrett is once again on the hot seat, despite being just one full season from winning the NFL Coach of the Year Award. He navigated them to a successful 2016 season despite injuries, but couldn’t get the team to the playoffs during a season filled with drama.
Running back Ezekiel Elliott was front and center with the off-field problems as he had a near season-long battle with the league over a pending suspension. With him gone and the offensive line having injuries, quarterback Dak Prescott struggled at times. He too has a giant question mark over his head as they enter this critical season.
Whether or not they can shake those concerns has yet to be seen. What we can do is look ahead and predict which players they will lean heaviest on. Here we do that by predicting what players will lead the team in each major statistical area.
Of course, with Prescott penciled in as the starting quarterback we will skip that position. If he doesn’t lead the team in every passing stat, then something went very wrong.
