Who Should I Start? Dak Prescott or Baker Mayfield

Wednesday, November 19, 2:53 PM

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott (hip) has been added to the injury report ahead of the team's Week 12 matchup with the Philadelphia Eagles. Head coach Brian Schottenheimer assured reporters there was no cause for alarm, but the injury was noted. Prescott has been excellent this season, holding a 69.9% completion rate with 21 touchdowns and just six interceptions. Prescott ranks as QB9 this season. With some of his toughest matchups behind him, he appears to be a high-value target heading into the fantasy postseason.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield (illness) was under the weather on Wednesday with an illness and did not practice, according to Tom Pelissero of ESPN. There is a bug going around Tampa's locker room right now, which is something to keep an eye on heading into Sunday night's showdown against the Los Angeles Rams. However, Mayfield should be good to go by the time Sunday rolls around. The 30-year-old signal-caller is just outside the top 10 QBs in overall fantasy points so far in 2025 with 2,365 passing yards, 17 touchdowns, and only three interceptions in 10 games played. However, he has failed to top 200 yards passing in two of the last three games and will have his hands full this weekend in L.A. against a Rams defense that just forced Seahawks QB Sam Darnold into four picks. Mayfield will be more of a high-end QB2 for fantasy managers if he's active on Sunday night.
