Who Should I Start? Joe Flacco or Dak Prescott

Monday, November 3, 11:41 AM

Despite falling to the Chicago Bears 47-42, Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Flacco lit it up again in Week 9, further solidifying his case to be a weekly option for fantasy managers. The University of Delaware product has been otherworldly since the Browns flipped him to Cincinnati. Over that four-game stretch, Flacco has accrued 1,254 passing yards (313.5 p/g) and an 11:2 TD:INT ratio across a 64.7% completion rate. Cincinnati has unfortunately dropped three of those four contests, but the veteran has been excellent for fantasy. Since Week 6, Flacco has racked up a scintillating 25.4 fantasy points per outing, with only the Chargers' Justin Herbert ahead of him (25.9). As it stands, fantasy managers could do worse than the 40-year-old as a streaming option. Furthermore, he's justifying becoming an every-week starter. Cincinnati will take on the Steelers again in Week 10. Flacco torched them a few weeks back for 342 passing yards and three scores.

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott completed 24 of 39 pass attempts for 250 yards, one touchdown, and one interception while adding 34 yards on four carries in Monday night's 27-17 loss to the Cardinals. Prescott struggled a bit in this game, taking five sacks for a loss of 40 yards and turning it over on downs three times. The interception came at the very end of the game on a desperation heave on a 4th and 28. The 32-year-old led the offense to only 10 points, as the Cowboys scored one of their two touchdowns on a blocked punt. Prescott was able to at least salvage decent fantasy days for his top three pass catchers in CeeDee Lamb, George Pickens, and Jake Ferguson. Prescott and the Cowboys will head into their Week 10 bye on a two-game losing streak.
