Dak Prescott Faces Touchdown-Friendly Colts Defense

Saturday, November 7, 10:49 AM

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott enters Sunday's road game against the Indianapolis Colts as a strong QB1, with RotoBaller's November 7 rankings placing him at QB5. The Colts rank 12th in net passing yards allowed (211.8 per game), but have surrendered 14 passing touchdowns while intercepting only two passes. That vulnerability was clear in Week 8, when Trevor Lawrence needed just 14 attempts to throw for 210 yards and three touchdowns against Indianapolis. Prescott's recent outings have been less consistent: he threw three touchdowns against Philadelphia in Week 7, then managed 195 passing yards against Arizona, scoring his first rushing touchdown of the season. Still, he has 2,046 passing yards and 14 passing touchdowns through eight games, and Dallas averages 37.8 pass attempts per contest. The primary uncertainty concerns his receiving corps. George Pickens (hamstring) was limited in all three practices, while Jake Ferguson (ankle) sat out Wednesday and Thursday before returning in a limited capacity Friday. Both are questionable, and KaVontae Turpin (ribs) is out.

Daniel Jones News

Colts Haven't Ruled Out Trading Daniel Jones Before Deadline

Monday, November 9, 9:46 AM

When speaking to the media on Monday, Indianapolis Colts head coach Shane Steichen would not confirm if the team has told quarterback Daniel Jones that he will not be traded, according to Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan. The Colts reportedly informed Jones on Saturday that he will not be moved by Tuesday's trade deadline, according to The Ringer's Tom Pelissero, but that does not mean that the 29-year-old signal-caller will not be on the move if the Colts receive an offer too good to pass up. Jones has been one of the worst starting QBs in the NFL through the first half of the 2026 season after coming off a torn Achilles tendon late last year. His disappointing second year with the Colts continued in the Week 9 loss in a plus matchup against the Dallas Cowboys, as Jones went 20-for-34 passing for only 180 yards, one touchdown, and one interception. It has not helped Jones' cause that he has been without top wideout Alec Pierce (heel) for most of the year, and the receiver remains out for the foreseeable future. Still, Jones will have more QB2 streaming appeal this weekend if he remains with the Colts past Tuesday's deadline for a Week 10 matchup against the Miami Dolphins.
