Dak Prescott News
Sunday, October 4, 2:19 PM
Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott had his throwing hand wrapped after their thrilling victory over the Houston Texans on Sunday afternoon. Per Nick Harris of The Star-Telegram, the quarterback said he took off a cleat on his throwing hand and is trying to avoid further swelling. Prescott noted that he is "fine" other than that minor injury. Fantasy managers should keep an eye on this at the start of the week, but it appears Prescott avoided any serious injury. In their victory, the 33-year-old went 32-for-45 for a season-high 355 passing yards and a score. He added another seven yards on the ground. Prescott leaned heavily on CeeDee Lamb, who tallied 189 of those yards. Prescott remains a high-end QB1 in all formats ahead of a Week 5 tilt against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Sam Darnold News
Friday, October 2, 8:49 AM
Seattle Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold is a potential streamer in Week 4 against a Los Angeles Chargers defense that has fallen short of expectations this season. The Chargers are allowing 244.7 passing yards per game to opposing quarterbacks. Darnold is fresh off a 379-yard outing in Washington and will return home with a need for a win. Darnold's chemistry with wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba is undeniable. He should find JSN early and often. Given the Chargers' defensive woes, Darnold has a chance to toss a couple of touchdown passes as well. While he may not carry a massive ceiling, Darnold certainly enters this week with a nice floor. If you are reeling with quarterback injuries or poor play, you can turn to Darnold this week. Darnold is readily available on waivers and generally not considered a starting option, so you should be able to grab him and plug him in immediately.
