Who Should I Start? Dak Prescott or Joe Burrow

Monday, November 18, 2:26 PM

ESPN's Adam Schefter reported that the Dallas Cowboys have officially placed quarterback Dak Prescott (hamstring) on injured reserve. The move was merely a formality, as it was expected that he'd miss the remainder of 2024 after suffering an avulsion fracture in his hamstring. In his absence, Dallas will continue to roll with quarterback Cooper Rush as their starter, though for how long remains to be seen. Rush didn't have a particularly encouraging outing last weekend against the Philadelphia Eagles when he completed 13-of-23 passes for 45 yards. With fourth-year player Trey Lance the only other active quarterback on the roster, it might be worth it for the Cowboys to see what they've got in the 24-year-old.

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow (leg) had another productive showing in Sunday's loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. However, there is concern surrounding the health of the oft-injured signal-caller, with Burrow spotted limping after the game. He reported he took a cleat early in the contest that "drew a good amount of blood." But Burrow couldn't provide an update on his condition, but says the team will "know more on Tuesday." He should be in line for further testing while also potentially missing practice time throughout the week. At the same time, fantasy managers shouldn't be surprised to see Burrow carry a questionable designation heading into the Week 14 meeting with the Dallas Cowboys. If Burrow can't play, Jake Browning would take over under center. Unfortunately, Browning's presence may not be good news for Ja'Marr Chase, Tee Higgins, and the rest of the Bengals' offense.
