Who Should I Start? Aaron Rodgers or Dak Prescott

Thursday, November 20, 3:31 PM

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (wrist) was out on the field for the start of Thursday's practice for individual drills, according to Brian Batko of PGSportsNow. Rodgers suffered a small fracture in his left (non-throwing) wrist in the win over the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday, and he was held out of practice on Wednesday. ESPN's Brooke Pryor reports that the 41-year-old's wrist was in "some sort of stabilizer" during individual reps on Thursday. Rodgers will most likely be listed as limited on Thursday's final injury report, but the door remains open for him to play this weekend in Chicago against the Bears. Taking snaps under center might be the most difficult thing for Rodgers to do with his left wrist injury, so it will be interesting to see if he takes more shotgun snaps on Sunday if he's active. Against a ball-hawking Bears defense, Rodgers wouldn't be all that attractive as a low-end QB2 in fantasy if he's active. If he's ruled out, Mason Rudolph would make his first start of 2025.

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott (hip) was a full participant on Thursday after he was limited in Wednesday's session due to a hip injury, according to Clarence Hill Jr. The Cowboys downplayed Prescott's hip injury on Wednesday, even though he was limited in the walkthrough practice. The 32-year-old veteran signal-caller should be a full-go for a divisional battle this weekend against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday. In the first meeting against Philly in Week 1 in a 24-20 loss, Prescott went 21-for-34 passing for a season-low 188 yards, no touchdowns, and no interceptions. There's no question that the Eagles have one of the better defenses in the league, so it would be a surprise if Prescott throws for four touchdowns like he did against the Raiders on Monday night. Still, he should be considered a low-end QB1 option with one of the best 1-2 punches at receiver in CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens.
