Dak Prescott News
Saturday, October 17, 12:29 AM
Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott will face the Green Bay Packers on the road in Week 6 after a disappointing performance in Week 5. He failed to lift the Cowboys to a win against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers sans their starting quarterback, Baker Mayfield (thumb). This week, he'll face one of the tougher defenses against quarterbacks in the NFL -- Green Bay has allowed the fifth-fewest fantasy points per game to opposing QBs this season. It looks like wide receiver CeeDee Lamb will return for Week 6 without restrictions, but he may still be slowed down by the thigh injury that affected him in Week 5. Prescott wasn't very effective with Lamb out of the lineup, and threw just one touchdown against two interceptions in the loss. Prescott is still productive enough to be a QB1, and depending on how healthy Lamb is, could bounce back, but don't expect a monster ceiling against the defense that's lockdown against the pass, allowing the sixth-fewest yards per pass attempt this year.

Drake Maye News
Sunday, October 18, 5:37 PM
New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye was the star of his team's 26-19 Week 6 win over the New York Jets, completing 18 of 32 pass attempts for 235 yards, three touchdowns, and zero interceptions. The 24-year-old also added 24 rushing yards on four attempts. Maye got off to a rough start to the 2026 season, throwing six interceptions through his first three games. However, the third-year signal-caller has bounced back in a big way. Over the last three weeks, Maye has thrown for 878 yards and 10 touchdowns and rushed for 103 yards and a score. Maye also got star wide receiver A.J. Brown back from Injured Reserve in Week 6, which should only boost his performance going forward. Heading into Week 7, Maye appears to have re-established himself as a high-end QB1 option for fantasy managers.
