Who Should I Start? Dak Prescott or Lamar Jackson

Monday, November 18, 2:26 PM

ESPN's Adam Schefter reported that the Dallas Cowboys have officially placed quarterback Dak Prescott (hamstring) on injured reserve. The move was merely a formality, as it was expected that he'd miss the remainder of 2024 after suffering an avulsion fracture in his hamstring. In his absence, Dallas will continue to roll with quarterback Cooper Rush as their starter, though for how long remains to be seen. Rush didn't have a particularly encouraging outing last weekend against the Philadelphia Eagles when he completed 13-of-23 passes for 45 yards. With fourth-year player Trey Lance the only other active quarterback on the roster, it might be worth it for the Cowboys to see what they've got in the 24-year-old.

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson completed 15-of-23 passes for 207 yards and three touchdowns in Saturday's 34-17 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. He also threw an interception and rushed nine times for 22 yards. The 27-year-old got one over on Pittsburgh in their rematch after scoring just once in the two teams' first meeting, an 18-16 loss. It was Jackson's sixth outing of the year with three or more TD passes. With his total on Sunday, he's up to 37 passing scores on the year -- a career-high -- opposed to just four interceptions -- two of which have come against the Steelers. The MVP candidate will get another tough matchup in championship week when he squares off against the Houston Texans on the road. Still, he'll be a high-end QB1.
