Who Should I Start? Tyrod Taylor or Dak Prescott

Saturday, September 20, 6:59 AM

New York Jets quarterback Tyrod Taylor will take the field this Sunday in an exploitable matchup with the hosting Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The 36-year-old hasn't drawn a start since Week 17 of the 2023 season during his time with the Giants, but he'll get the nod in Week 3 with Jets' starter Justin Fields (concussion) battling a concussion. Taylor isn't a world-beater, but he's at least an average thrower of the football. Fortuitously, he'll square off against a Buccaneers defense that's allowed 235.5 passing yards per game - the ninth-most in the league. The Jets figure to continue relying on their ground attack, but Tampa Bay has been excellent in that regard (76.5 yards allowed per game [fifth-fewest]). It wouldn't be surprising to see the team air it out slightly more than they have through the first two weeks, particularly with Baker Mayfield and the Bucs pushing the pace. He's RotoBaller's QB21 ahead of Week 3, and can be left on waivers for the time being sans two-quarterback formats.

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott completed 25 of his 34 pass attempts for 261 yards, three touchdowns, and zero interceptions during Sunday's Week 6 loss against the Carolina Panthers. The veteran quarterback had another productive game as he played turnover-free football and didn't even take a sack. He now has a whopping 11 touchdowns and zero turnovers over his last three games. Not only is he the QB1 during that span, but he is also the top-scoring fantasy quarterback through the first six weeks of the 2025 season. Fantasy managers should continue to trust Prescott in fantasy football, as he has shown that he and the Cowboys' offense will rack up yardage regardless of their matchup. Dallas seems to find itself in a shootout every week, which bodes well for Prescott's fantasy outlook -- and he should only improve when CeeDee Lamb (ankle) returns. Prescott is a high-end QB1 heading into Week 7 against Washington.
