Who Should I Start? Dak Prescott or Nathan Peterman

Friday, December 12, 7:36 PM

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott is a must-start QB1 in all formats despite facing a tougher Minnesota Vikings defense. The Vikings enter Week 15, allowing the second-fewest PPR points to opposing QBs. However, Prescott has been a high-end option at the position all season and figures to carry a high ceiling with his top wideout, CeeDee Lamb, passing concussion protocol. Last week, Prescott totaled over 300 passing yards for the third-straight game. In their tough loss to the Lions on Thursday evening, Prescott went 31-for-47 with 376 yards and one score. Since his Week 10 bye, Prescott has averaged an elite 27.4 PPR points per game and totaled 10 total TDs with 329.5 passing yards per game. With two elite wide receivers at his disposal, Prescott carries a very safe floor with an elite ceiling if that game becomes a shootout. Given the high implied point total (O/U 48.5), fantasy managers should feel confident locking the Mississippi State product in their lineup in the opening week of the fantasy playoffs.

The Atlanta Falcons have signed quarterback Nathan Peterman to their practice squad on Tuesday. The veteran signal-caller was recently released by the Las Vegas Raiders. Peterman played in the preseason with Las Vegas, but failed to snag a backup spot on the roster. The 30-year-old played two games with the Chicago Bears in 2023. He has mainly been a backup throughout his career, which is what he'll do in Atlanta. Peterman will remain on the practice squad and serve as emergency depth for the organization.
