Dak Prescott Comments on Spitting Incident with Jalen Carter

Friday, September 5, 9:40 AM

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott gave some clarification on the "spitting incident" that happened during Thursday's season opener against the Philadelphia Eagles. Both Prescott and Jalen Carter got into an altercation due to one of them spitting on the other. After the dust settled, Carter was ejected from the game in the first quarter. After the game, Prescott said he didn't intend to bait Carter or spit in his direction. It sounds like a misunderstanding, but one that certainly hurt the Eagles defense. It's unclear at the moment if Carter will face any other displicine from the league.

Lamar Jackson Shines with Three Total TDs in Loss to Bills

Monday, September 8, 9:35 AM

Baltimore Ravens superstar Lamar Jackson played phenomenally on Sunday night against the Buffalo Bills, completing 14 of 19 passes for 209 yards, two passing touchdowns, and adding 70 yards on the ground on six rushing attempts and a rushing touchdown. Unfortunately for the Ravens, it wasn't enough to walk away with the victory as the Bills came from behind to win 41-40 in what was an epic battle of two AFC contenders. If Derrick Henry hadn't broken off long runs all night and totaled 169 rushing yards, Jackson's evening could have been more productive. A handful of the Ravens' drives were just three or four-play drives where Henry scored on 30-plus-yard touchdown runs. Regardless, Jackson remains a high-end QB1 for fantasy managers, and those who paid a premium to get him are already reaping the rewards. Next up for Jackson is a home game against the Cleveland Browns, where he remains a top option at the QB position.
