Who Should I Start? Dak Prescott or Justin Fields

Sunday, November 23, 8:48 PM

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott completed 23 of 36 pass attempts for 354 passing yards, two passing touchdowns, and one interception during Sunday's Week 12 win over the Philadelphia Eagles. He also had nine rushing yards and one rushing touchdown. The Cowboys were held scoreless until the final seconds of the first half, when Dallas finally started to chip into its 21-0 deficit. From there, Prescott led three touchdown drives and ultimately got the Cowboys in position to kick a game-winning field goal in overtime. The 32-year-old has seven total touchdowns over his last two games and ranks as the overall QB5 in fantasy scoring so far. He should continue to be started in all leagues ahead of an intriguing showdown against the Kansas City Chiefs on Thanksgiving Day in Week 13.

Heading into their Week 12 matchup against the Baltimore Ravens, the New York Jets announced that veteran Tyrod Taylor will be taking over for Justin Fields as the team's starting quarterback. The demotion is the next rough patch in what's been a rocky first season in New York for Fields. Across nine games, the 26-year-old has completed 62.7% of his pass attempts for 1,259 yards, seven touchdowns, and one interception. While Fields remains a threat with his legs (383 rushing yards, four touchdowns), he's averaged a career-low 6.2 yards per pass attempt while taking a sack on 11.7% of his drop-backs. Unless Taylor were to get injured, Fields is not expected to be re-inserted as the Jets' starter this season. It remains to be seen whether Fields will stay in New York for the 2026 season or if he will get another shot to be a starter elsewhere, but he's unlikely to carry fantasy value in redraft leagues for the remainder of 2025.
