Dak Prescott Throws for Three Touchdowns in Loss to Panthers

Sunday, October 12, 8:36 PM

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott completed 25 of his 34 pass attempts for 261 yards, three touchdowns, and zero interceptions during Sunday's Week 6 loss against the Carolina Panthers. The veteran quarterback had another productive game as he played turnover-free football and didn't even take a sack. He now has a whopping 11 touchdowns and zero turnovers over his last three games. Not only is he the QB1 during that span, but he is also the top-scoring fantasy quarterback through the first six weeks of the 2025 season. Fantasy managers should continue to trust Prescott in fantasy football, as he has shown that he and the Cowboys' offense will rack up yardage regardless of their matchup. Dallas seems to find itself in a shootout every week, which bodes well for Prescott's fantasy outlook -- and he should only improve when CeeDee Lamb (ankle) returns. Prescott is a high-end QB1 heading into Week 7 against Washington.

Justin Fields Wants to be a "Little Bit More Aggressive" as a Passer

Thursday, October 16, 1:33 PM

New York Jets quarterback Justin Fields has not thrown an interception through the first six games of his first season in the Big Apple, but he admitted on Wednesday that he has been too conservative as a passer. "I feel like I've been a little bit too conservative in a sense," Fields said. "Probably just [need to] be a little bit more aggressive. The Jets have not won a game in 2025, and Fields took nine sacks and finished with minus-10 net passing yards against the Denver Broncos in Week 6, a franchise low and the fewest in the NFL since 1998. In addition to being 0-6, New York is 25th in scoring (20.5 points per game), and Fields could be in danger of being replaced by veteran Tyrod Taylor if things don't improve soon. Fields could look to be more aggressive in Week 7 against the Carolina Panthers, but he's likely to be without top receiver Garrett Wilson (knee). The only WR with a greater target share this year than Wilson (33.3%) is Jaxon Smith-Njigba (37%). Fields has nowhere to go but up after his Week 6 performance, but without Wilson, he'll be more of a high-end QB2 asset in fantasy this weekend.
