The Dallas Cowboys enter Week 6 with the NFL's No. 1 ranked offense, with no signs of slowing down.

In three of their first five games, the Dallas offense has produced at least 37 points, with two games of 40 points each. In other words, they have been hyper productive.

This comes in large part due to the play of quarterback Dak Prescott, who has been playing at an MVP level early this season, and hopes to continue that trend vs. the Carolina Panthers.

With that in mind, here are three Cowboys that could show out in Charlotte.

RB Javonte Williams

Javonte Williams currently sits as the No. 3-ranked running back in fantasy football through five weeks, and for good reason. Thus far, he has rushed for 447 yards on 79 carries, averaging 5.7 yards per carry, to go along with five touchdowns. He also has 17 catches for 78 yards and another score, and is coming off of by far his best performance of the season.

The Panthers have been stingier against the run than the Jets are, but regardless, Williams should still be extremely productive once again - especially if Tyler Guyton and Tyler Booker return to the lineup.

WR George Pickens

George Pickens has become a certified No. 1 threat in the absence of CeeDee Lamb, and has an MVP candidate throwing him the football. He has five touchdowns in the last four games, has 20 catches on a whopping 33 targets over that time, and ranks as the No. 7 overall receiver in fantasy.

He should be able to perform well once again well against a Panthers defense that has been susceptible to the pass at times.

QB Dak Prescott

As we mentioned, Prescott is playing at an MVP level, and has been putting together an elite season despite multiple injuries to key players on the offense. In the last four weeks, Prescott has completed 73 percent of his passes for an average of 292 yards and 2.5 touchdowns per game.

He is now set to face a Panthers defense that has give up five touchdowns and 459 yards through the air in the last two games. He is a must start in all formats.
