Who Should I Start? Ryan Tannehill or Dak Prescott

Friday, March 21, 10:16 PM

The Minnesota Vikings have had talks with former Tennessee Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill about a potential deal, sources tell FOX Sports' Jordan Schultz. Talks are ongoing but nothing is imminent at this moment. For the time being, the Vikings have told free-agent QB Aaron Rodgers that they are not interested and are moving ahead full steam with last year's first-rounder, J.J. McCarthy (knee), as their starting signal-caller in 2025. However, after both Sam Darnold and Daniel Jones left in free agency this offseason, the Vikes continue to search for QB insurance behind McCarthy, and Tannehill could be their guy. The 36-year-old didn't join a team for the 2024 season and played in only 10 games (eight starts) in his final season in Tennessee in 2023, throwing for 1,616 yards, four TDs and seven picks. If Tannehill joins the Vikings, it would strictly be as their backup behind McCarthy.

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott completed 38 of 52 pass attempts for 361 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception during Sunday's Week 2 win over the New York Giants in overtime. He also took three sacks and rushed for 17 yards. The veteran signal caller certainly bounced back after a disappointing season opener, and it was intriguing to see him spread the ball around to a variety of pass catchers. CeeDee Lamb, Jake Ferguson, and George Pickens all had at least nine targets apiece while combining for 258 yards and one touchdown as a group. Prescott will be a fringe top-12 fantasy quarterback heading into next week's favorable matchup against the Chicago Bears, who just surrendered five passing touchdowns to Jared Goff.
