Dak Prescott News
Saturday, October 24, 8:02 AM
Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott still ranks as the QB12 in fantasy football leagues despite a string of disappointing losses. He's had a safe floor this season, as he's scored double-digit PPR fantasy points in all six of his games so far. The Cowboys will face the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 7. They're a favorable matchup for opposing QBs on paper, as they allow the ninth-most fantasy points to the position per game this season. That said, matchups with the NFC East are often strange in nature, and can be hard to predict. The Eagles offense has struggled all season, and now is missing its starting quarterback, Jalen Hurts (deep vein thrombosis). This should give Dallas an opportunity to exploit by dominating time of possession and wearing out the opposing defense. Prescott checks in as a low-end QB1, as both his starting wide receivers, CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens, practiced in full on Friday and look to be ready to go.

Lamar Jackson News
Wednesday, October 28, 3:27 PM
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (ankle) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, the first time he has had a full practice since spraining his left ankle 24 days ago in the team's Week 4 win over the Tennessee Titans, according to Jamison Hensley of ESPN. As long as the 29-year-old two-time MVP does not suffer a setback with his ankle in practice over the next two days, he will be on his way to making his return in a Week 8 showdown on the road against the Buffalo Bills. Although Jackson could be somewhat limited from a scrambling perspective, if he is active in Buffalo, fantasy managers should be throwing the talented dual-threat signal-caller back into their starting lineups. The four-time Pro Bowler has gone 3-1 as a starter this year for Baltimore while throwing for 967 yards, six touchdowns, and only one interception. He has added 19 rushing attempts for 144 yards (7.6 yards per attempt) and a touchdown on the ground. The rest of Baltimore's offensive skill players will receive a boost in fantasy value with Jackson on the verge of a return.
