Dak Prescott News
Saturday, November 7, 10:49 AM
Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott enters Sunday's road game against the Indianapolis Colts as a strong QB1, with RotoBaller's November 7 rankings placing him at QB5. The Colts rank 12th in net passing yards allowed (211.8 per game), but have surrendered 14 passing touchdowns while intercepting only two passes. That vulnerability was clear in Week 8, when Trevor Lawrence needed just 14 attempts to throw for 210 yards and three touchdowns against Indianapolis. Prescott's recent outings have been less consistent: he threw three touchdowns against Philadelphia in Week 7, then managed 195 passing yards against Arizona, scoring his first rushing touchdown of the season. Still, he has 2,046 passing yards and 14 passing touchdowns through eight games, and Dallas averages 37.8 pass attempts per contest. The primary uncertainty concerns his receiving corps. George Pickens (hamstring) was limited in all three practices, while Jake Ferguson (ankle) sat out Wednesday and Thursday before returning in a limited capacity Friday. Both are questionable, and KaVontae Turpin (ribs) is out.

Sam Darnold News
Monday, November 9, 7:49 AM
Seattle Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald said on his radio show on Monday that quarterback Sam Darnold (quadriceps) will be out again in Week 10 against the Las Vegas Raiders, according to Gregg Bell. Backup Drew Lock battled through elbow and oblique injuries to lead the Seahawks to a Week 9 win over the division-rival Arizona Cardinals on Sunday, and tests on his oblique were "good," so he is expected to make a second straight start this Sunday in Vegas. Seattle has their bye coming in Week 11, so Darnold's next chance to return to the starting role will be in Week 12 on Sunday, Nov. 29, for a showdown with the division-rival San Francisco 49ers on the road. In addition to a quad injury, the 29-year-old Darnold is dealing with cracked ribs that he suffered in last Monday night's loss to the Chicago Bears in Week 8. Getting Darnold healthy for the stretch run is the Seahawks' No. 1 priority. The former third overall pick in 2018 from USC has not been as good as he was in 2025 in his first year in Seattle, mainly due to turnovers. The two-time Pro Bowler is completing 60.2% of his passes for 1,478 yards, 10 touchdowns, and nine interceptions in his seven starts.
