Who Should I Start? Dak Prescott or Baker Mayfield

Monday, October 14, 10:41 AM

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott struggled in the 47-9 loss to the Detroit Lions on Sunday. Prescott completed 17-of-33 passes for 178 yards and two interceptions, unable to get anything going through the air. He was sacked four times and was eventually pulled for Cooper Rush late in the game. Prescott also scrambled once for one yard. The 31-year-old quarterback was unable to put a single touchdown up in the shellacking as the Cowboys dropped to 3-3 on the season. He remains a low-end QB1 heading into the Cowboys' bye week.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield completed 31 of 45 passes for 370 yards, three touchdowns, and two interceptions during Monday's Week 7 loss to the Baltimore Ravens. He also rushed for 22 yards and took three sacks. While Mayfield's turnover problems were worrisome, he bailed out his fantasy managers by racking up passing yards and adding three touchdowns. On a positive note, Mayfield has been a top-three fantasy quarterback this year, and that trend continued on Monday. However, the bad news is that he'll move forward without wide receiver Chris Godwin (ankle), who dislocated his ankle near the end of the Ravens game and is likely done for the year. Mayfield should still be started in most leagues against the Atlanta Falcons next week.
