Dak Prescott News
Saturday, October 17, 12:29 AM
Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott will face the Green Bay Packers on the road in Week 6 after a disappointing performance in Week 5. He failed to lift the Cowboys to a win against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers sans their starting quarterback, Baker Mayfield (thumb). This week, he'll face one of the tougher defenses against quarterbacks in the NFL -- Green Bay has allowed the fifth-fewest fantasy points per game to opposing QBs this season. It looks like wide receiver CeeDee Lamb will return for Week 6 without restrictions, but he may still be slowed down by the thigh injury that affected him in Week 5. Prescott wasn't very effective with Lamb out of the lineup, and threw just one touchdown against two interceptions in the loss. Prescott is still productive enough to be a QB1, and depending on how healthy Lamb is, could bounce back, but don't expect a monster ceiling against the defense that's lockdown against the pass, allowing the sixth-fewest yards per pass attempt this year.

Lamar Jackson News
Saturday, October 24, 5:19 AM
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (ankle) is "50/50" to play in Week 7 against the Cincinnati Bengals, per ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. Jackson has missed back-to-back games with an ankle injury. The star signal-caller was able to return to practice in a limited capacity this week, but he appears to be a true game-time decision on Sunday. Across four games before getting injured, Jackson recorded 967 passing yards and six touchdowns and also rushed for 144 yards and an additional score. He may not be as aggressive with his legs coming off the injury, but Jackson would still profile as a must-start fantasy quarterback if active in Week 7. If Jackson remains sidelined, Ravens QB2 Tyler Huntley would be in line to make a third straight start. Without Jackson, the production ceiling for Ravens pass-catchers like wide receiver Zay Flowers and tight end Mark Andrews is lower.
