Rotowire
Spann-Ford played 33 of the Cowboys' 66 snaps on offense and recorded two catches for 24 yards on two targets in Sunday's 34-26 win over the Commanders.
With Jake Ferguson (concussion) sidelined, Luke Schoonmaker drew the start at tight end, while Spann-Ford moved up a spot on the depth chart at served as the No. 2 option. The undrafted rookie out of Minnesota proved to be a reliable tertiary target in the passing game and frequently shared the field with Schoonmaker, who played 65 percent of the snaps. The Cowboys are expected to lean on Schoonmaker and Spann-Ford as their primary tight ends once again Thursday versus the Giants, as Ferguson has yet to practice this week and looks to be trending toward a second straight absence.

Rotowire
Spann-Ford played 41 of the Cowboys' 83 snaps on offense and finished with four catches for 42 yards on five targets in Monday's 34-10 loss to the Texans.
Starting tight end Jake Ferguson played just seven snaps before leaving the game with a concussion, resulting in elevated playing time for Luke Schoonmaker (44 snaps), Spann-Ford and Princeton Fant (seven). With Dallas trailing by multiple scores for much of the contest, quarterback Cooper Rush dropped back 60 times on the night and targeted 11 pass catchers, with Spann-Ford being of the beneficiary of the game script. According to Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News, head coach Mike McCarthy acknowledged Tuesday that Ferguson "will be hard pressed" to clear concussion protocol ahead of Sunday's game against the Commanders, and while Schoonmaker would be in line to start for Ferguson, Spann-Ford would still be on track for added snaps.
