Dak Prescott News
Sunday, September 13, 8:10 PM
Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott had an ugly night in the Cowboys season opener against the New York Giants. He wasn't able to muster up 200 passing yards, and threw an interception while being held scoreless in the first half of play. New York dominated time of possession, which limited Prescott to just 34 pass attempts. He completed only 22 for a paltry 5.1 yards per pass attempt. The abysmal average led Dallas to only muster 244 yards of offense, 150 less than their opponent. Two carries for 14 yards on the ground weren't enough to make up for his low passing production. It was a strangely terrible night for the offense, which did extremely well last year under then first-year head coach Brian Schottenheimer. Perhaps that offense has been solved. We'll learn more to that effect in Week 2, when the Cowboys return home to face another bitter divisional rival, the Washington Commanders.

Joe Burrow News
Sunday, September 13, 12:47 PM
Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow completed 25 of 35 pass attempts (71.4%) for 254 yards and a touchdown in the 33-27 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Burrow was also sacked once and threw one interception in this contest. The Bengals quarterback also showed off the legs with five carries for 20 yards. That rushing total would've been a season-high for him in 2025. While fantasy managers should be excited about the prospect of some rushing upside for Burrow, he may be better suited protecting himself for his health's sake. Despite the box score showing 33 points on the board for Cincinnati, Burrow only accounted for one score. The Bengals defense found the end zone and kicker Evan McPherson accounted for 15 of the total points. Burrow will look to increase the passing volume in next week's matchup against the Houston Texans. The Texans defense is one of the toughest in the league, but the prolific Bengals offense should be able to get things done against them. Burrow should be considered a QB1 heading into Week 2 despite his diminished fantasy output against the Buccaneers.
