2024 Fantasy Outlook
A knee injury suffered by Trevon Diggs in Week 2 last season opened the door for another member of the Cowboys secondary to step up, and Bland seized the opportunity. The 2022 fifth-round pick set a new NFL record by returning five interceptions for touchdowns in a season that saw him pick off nine passes in total and produce 15 passes defended along with 69 tackles. Aggressive defensive coordinator Dan Quinn has been replaced by Mike Zimmer, which could rein in the ball-hawking tendencies of both Bland and Diggs, but the duo still give Dallas an elite pair of starting cornerbacks.

Good to go vs. Big Blue
Bland (foot) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice and does not carry an injury designation into Thursday's NFC East showdown against the Giants, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Bland was limited during the Cowboys' two walkthroughs earlier this week, but he was able to participate in Wednesday's practice without restriction and is good to play Thursday. After missing the Cowboys' first 10 games of the regular season due to a foot injury he suffered in training camp, Bland returned for Week 12 against the Commanders this past Sunday and finished with six tackles (three solo) while playing 55 snaps on defense.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
A fifth-round pick out of Fresno State in 2022, Bland got his first action on defense Week 4 against the Commanders and promptly picked off a Carson Wentz pass. Bland became a full-time starter by Week 11 and kept up the ball hawking, nabbing four interceptions in a four-game stretch in the second half. The 24-year-old likely will handle slot duties this season following the offseason addition of Stephon Gilmore, giving the Dallas defense three strong options at cornerback along with Trevon Diggs.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could play limited role in Week 6
Bland could make his season debut in Week 6 against the Lions, Nick Eatman of the Cowboys' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Bland has yet to play this season due to a stress fracture in his right foot. The team has given mixed signals as to his potential availability against the Lions, as owner Jerry Jones said Bland would be unlikely to play. However, executive vice president Stephen Jones stated he believes Bland will suit up, albeit in a limited capacity. The cornerback's return would be a significant addition to the Cowboys' defense, as they've rotated through several different options opposite Trevon Diggs to cover for Bland's absence.
