2025 Fantasy Outlook
Guyton had some real rookie struggles, grading out 57th out of 58 left tackle qualifiers by PFF, and he battled a high-ankle sprain late in the season. The Cowboys are committed to giving the 29th overall pick in the 2024 Draft every chance to prove he can be their left tackle of the present and future, but another rough campaign could force the team to look elsewhere for Dak Prescott's blind-side protector.

Signed a four-year, $13.16 million contract with the Cowboys in May of 2024.
Could return to practice
Head coach Brian Schottenheimer said Saturday that Guyton (knee) is trending towards doing some work at practice in the coming week, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Whether Guyton is limited to work on the sidelines or can participate in a larger capacity remains to be seen, but it seems to be a step in the right direction for Guyton, who is dealing with a bone fracture in his right knee. His practice participation over the next two weeks will be worth closely monitoring, as that will provide an indication for his availability for Week 1 against the Eagles on Thursday, Sept. 4. Nathan Thomas appears to be the top candidate to start at left tackle should Guyton not be cleared to play, though Asim Richards is also in consideration for a starting role.

2024 Fantasy Outlook
The 29th overall pick in the 2024 Draft, Guyton has big cleats to fill as he replaces Tyron Smith at left tackle for the Cowboys. The Oklahoma product has the size and athleticism to eventually emerge as a force on the offensive line, but he could have some rookie growing pains as his skills catch up to his tools.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Ready to step up in second year
Guyton has had a strong offseason and is expected to improve in his second NFL campaign, Todd Archer of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Guyton was forced into an immediate starting role at left tackle as a rookie and looked overmatched for long stretches. He showed some progress as the season went on, particularly in pass protection, and has reportedly worked out at the team's facility this offseason and improved his diet. The Cowboys have either proven or high-pedigree options along their entire offensive line, but Guyton's ability to translate his strong offseason to the field will be a key to the unit's success.
