Who Should I Start? Dak Prescott or Jeff Driskel

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.

The Las Vegas Raiders announced that they have signed free agent quarterback Jeff Driskel to their practice squad. The veteran signal caller is now on his ninth NFL team, albeit in a reduced capacity. He spent 2024 with the Washington Commanders but hasn't actually attempted a pass since 2023, when he was a member of the Cleveland Browns. The 32-year-old is expected to offer depth behind Geno Smith and Kenny Pickett (hamstring). Las Vegas also has rookie Cam Miller on its practice squad, but it's unclear whether he or Driskel should be considered the third-string quarterback behind Smith and Pickett. Regardless, it's unlikely Driskel gets into a game anytime soon, and it's even more unlikely that he'll possess any fantasy value. Managers should continue to leave him on waivers.
