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 enters Week 11 looking to bounce back after a rough two-game stretch where he averaged just 11 fantasy points, easily his coldest run of the season. Even with the slump, Prescott has been one of the top quarterbacks in fantasy this year, and the underlying metrics still point to a player performing at a high level overall. This week sets up nicely for a rebound. Dallas plays the Las Vegas Raiders, a defense that gives up 214 passing yards per game and struggles to consistently pressure quarterbacks, ranking in the bottom 10 in sacks. Opposing passers have regularly outperformed expectations against this unit, which should give Prescott cleaner pockets and more chances to push the ball downfield. Coming out of the bye, the Cowboys' offense should reset and get back to its usual rhythm. Add in one of the highest implied totals of the week at 49.5, and Prescott is positioned for a strong fantasy outing with plenty of scoring opportunities on the table. He remains a confident QB1 play and is RotoBaller's 4th-ranked quarterback for Week 11.
