Dak Prescott To Face Toughest Test Yet In Week 4

Friday, October 2, 10:01 PM

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott will face the best defense in the NFL from a year ago in Week 4. The Cowboys will go on the road to take on the Houston Texans, who have one of the best pass-rushers in the NFL, one of its best cover cornerbacks, and a renowned defensive-minded head coach. Prescott hasn't faced the Texans since 2022, when they were nothing like they team they are today, so we don't have much precedent to go off of. But he's been productive so far this year, with seven passing touchdowns to just one interception. He hasn't fumbled yet either. Taking care of the football will be crucial, as the Texans were third in the NFL in 2025 with 29 turnovers forced. Prescott is a must-start in 2QB and superflex leagues, but there's reason for some trepidation in 1QB leagues, where he's a low-end QB1 due to the difficulty of the matchup.
