Who Should I Start? Dak Prescott or Jeff Driskel

Tuesday, November 4, 12:40 AM

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott completed 24 of 39 pass attempts for 250 yards, one touchdown, and one interception while adding 34 yards on four carries in Monday night's 27-17 loss to the Cardinals. Prescott struggled a bit in this game, taking five sacks for a loss of 40 yards and turning it over on downs three times. The interception came at the very end of the game on a desperation heave on a 4th and 28. The 32-year-old led the offense to only 10 points, as the Cowboys scored one of their two touchdowns on a blocked punt. Prescott was able to at least salvage decent fantasy days for his top three pass catchers in CeeDee Lamb, George Pickens, and Jake Ferguson. Prescott and the Cowboys will head into their Week 10 bye on a two-game losing streak.

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.
