Who Should I Start? Dak Prescott or Brock Purdy

Sunday, October 19, 10:27 PM

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott played a clean game in his team's 44-22 Week 7 win over the Washington Commanders, completing 21 of 30 pass attempts for 264 yards, three touchdowns, and zero interceptions. Prescott's Cowboys are now averaging 31.7 points per game so far this season. Through seven games, Prescott has thrown for 1,881 yards and 16 touchdowns. He will face perhaps his toughest test so far this season in Week 8 when Dallas travels to Denver to take on the Broncos. Still, Prescott is playing at a high level and will be difficult for fantasy managers to go away from, even in a difficult matchup.

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy (toe) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice session. Head coach Kyle Shanahan said earlier that Purdy was slated to be limited on Wednesday. It sounds like this was the plan for Purdy as works his way back from a turf toe injury. An issue that sidelined him for every game besides two coming into Week 9. It's worth noting that backup quarterback Mac Jones (knee) was a full participant on Wednesday. Jones figures to draw another start versus the New York Giants this weekend, assuming Purdy is unable to play. Fantasy managers will need to wait and see what Purdy does in practice over the next few days. If active, Purdy should reclaim his starting gig and be a QB1 for this weekend.
