Who Should I Start? Kirk Cousins or Dak Prescott

Monday, November 17, 6:18 PM

When asked if the offense will look different with quarterback Kirk Cousins taking over as the starter, Atlanta Falcons head coach Raheem Morris said, "It's fair to say it'll look different." Michael Penix Jr. (knee) aggravated a bone bruise and knee sprain and also suffered ligament damage to the ACL in his left knee in Sunday's overtime loss to the Carolina Panthers in Week 11, and the 25-year-old second-year signal-caller potentially will miss the rest of the year. He will at least miss the next four games after being put on Injured Reserve on Monday. We'd expect the Falcons to lean more on running backs Bijan Robinson and Tyler Allgeier now that Cousins is starting again. The 37-year-old completed only 61.5% of his passes for 250 yards, no touchdowns, and no interceptions in three games (one start) this year. The four-time Pro Bowl may get into more of a groove after he gets settled in, but fantasy managers probably shouldn't expect him to see much passing volume.

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott was in control all night in their 33-16 win over the Las Vegas Raiders on Monday night, completing 25 of 33 passes for 268 yards and four touchdowns. Prescott took only one sack for a loss of one yard and consistently moved the ball against a mediocre Raiders defense. It was a much-needed bounce-back performance for the 32-year-old quarterback, who had only one touchdown to three interceptions in his past two games. The four touchdowns tied his season high from Week 5 against the Jets, as Prescott connected with each of his top three targets in CeeDee Lamb, George Pickens, and Jake Ferguson for touchdowns and capped the night with a touchdown strike to Ryan Flournoy. Prescott will have a tougher matchup in Week 12 against the Philadelphia Eagles.
