Coming off another high-powered performance this past weekend, the Dallas Cowboys offense faces a juicy matchup this weekend against the New York Jets.

As a team, the Jets rank 29th in the NFL in points allowed, are 25th in the league against the run, and rank 20th in the league in total defense, leaving plenty of opporunity for the Cowboys offense to eat on Sundy.

The one area in which the Jets could present an issue is in pass defense, where they rank 14th in the NFL, and allow just 199.8 yards per game.

That said, they aren't exactly lockdown on the perimeter either, 244 yards and four touchdowns to Aaron Rodgers and the Steelers in Week 1 and 233 yards and a score to Baker Mayfield in Week 3, so their should be opportunities abound for a high-flying Cowboys passing offense.

With that in mind, here are three players to watch for the Cowboys on Sunday vs. the Jets.

George Pickens, WR

Without CeeDee Lamb in the lineup, George Pickens was asked to step up for the Cowboys in a big way, and that's exactly what he did, hauling in eight catches for 134 yards and two touchdowns on 11 targets. He also has at least one score in each of the last three games. Expect that trend to continue vs. New York.

JaVonte Williams, RB

JaVonte Williams continues to be one of the top backs in fantasy football thus far, ranking seventh among all running backs in scoring so far this season. He continued to produce against a good Packers defense as well, with a season-high 20 carries for 85 yards and his fourth touchdown of the year. He also had three catches for 15 yards. With Miles Sanders out, he could be even more involved as well.

Dak Prescott, QB

Dak Prescott is coming off of his best game of the season this past weekend against the best defense he is played thus far. In that game he completed 31 of 40 passes for 319 yards and three scores, and had a rushing touchdown on the ground. He should be in line for another big performance vs. the Jets.
