Dallas Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy said that quarterback Cooper Rush will be Dak Prescott's backup to start the 2024 season, with Trey Lance sticking as the QB3 in Dallas. Lance pretty much sealed his fate as the No. 3 QB to enter the season after throwing five interceptions in the preseason finale against the Los Angeles Chargers, although he did also throw for 323 yards and a touchdown while going for a team-high 90 rushing yards and an additional score on 11 carries. The 24-year-old former first-rounder by the San Francisco 49ers in 2021 has plenty of athleticism, but he's still in the developmental phase for the Cowboys as they attempt to improve his game with the potential of losing Prescott after this season. Lance should only be rostered in dynasty/keeper leagues and deep superflex formats in 2024.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield showed up ready to play despite losing his top two wide receivers last week. Mayfield didn't miss a step as he completed 37-of-50 passing attempts for three touchdowns with two interceptions in the loss to the Atlanta Falcons. The 29-year-old now has thrown for over 300 yards in four of his last five games. The Bucs aren't going to have Mike Evans (hamstring) or Chris Godwin (ankle) for quite some time, but they've found a way to move the ball without them. He does head into a tough matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs next week. However, Mayfield has shown no signs of slowing down and is a must-start for fantasy managers.
