Who Should I Start? Joe Flacco or Dak Prescott

Tuesday, September 12, 2:24 PM

Free-agent quarterback Joe Flacco is interested in returning to the New York Jets, according to Rich Cimini of ESPN. Flacco started four games and appeared in five games for the Jets last season, completing 57.6% of his passes for 1,051 yards, five touchdowns, and three interceptions. Aaron Rodgers (Achilles) suffered a season-ending Achilles injury four plays into his Jets career, and the team is reportedly reaching out to free-agent signal-callers. Even if Flacco is signed, Zach Wilson will likely remain the starter in New York. Up to this point, there is no evidence that the Jets have mutual interest in a reunion.

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott has a great on-paper matchup in Week 3 against the Arizona Cardinals. Prescott has put up just 26 fantasy points through the first two weeks, but he's been playing well. Game script in Week 1 limited him to just 13 completions. He's been throwing short passes, ranking low in yards per attempt, average depth of target, and other similar metrics, but with the Cardinals defense coughing up plenty of big plays already this season, we could see Prescott go off in Week 3. There's also the chance that the Cowboys defense dominates again and their offense ends up not needing to do much, so that risk places Prescott in the QB2 conversation, but with QB1 upside.
