    Dak Prescott completed 34-of-54 passes for 258 yards, one touchdown, and two interceptions in the Cowboys’ 23-13, Week 6 loss to the Packers, adding seven yards on two carries.

    Prescott and the Cowboys were completely unable to get anything going prior to the half, managing just 92 yards of total offense while taking a 17-point deficit into the break. They would force a three-and-out to start the third quarter and follow it up with a touchdown drive to get on the board, but a punt and two turnovers on downs left them trailing by 16 until a late score inside of two minutes remaining in the final frame. Prescott’s two interceptions occurred deep in Green Bay territory in the second quarter, removing much needed points from the scoreboard in what was then a tight game. The loss drops the Cowboys to 2-4 and looking up at the Giants for the division lead through a third of the regular season. Prescott will be a back-end QB1 on the road against the division rival Eagles in Week 7.

    The two interceptions on Dak’s ledger were both in-and-out of his receivers’ hands, the second of which hit tight end Jake Ferguson in the face mask to allow the Buccaneers to ice the game in the fourth quarter. The first “pick” bounced off the hands of Ryan Flournoy to allow the Buccaneers to establish an 11-point lead at the beginning of the third quarter, a deficit the Cowboys would be unable to overcome. That said, Prescott wasn’t at all at his sharpest, missing numerous throws wide in addition to a few badly under-thrown balls in the second half. To make matters worse, alpha wide receiver CeeDee Lamb departed the game in the fourth quarter with a quad injury. The Cowboys fall to 2-3 and find themselves looking up at both the Giants and Eagles ahead of a Week 6 meeting with the Packers at Lambeau. Prescott returns to QB1 status in what has become a soft matchup, pending the health of Lamb.
  • DAL Quarterback #4
    He had just 87 passing yards at halftime, but the Cowboys turned up in a major way in the second half by peppering CeeDee Lamb with targets and getting George Pickens matched on Kamari Lassiter to their benefit. Prescott was surgical against the blitz and led a game-winning drive after C.J. Stroud briefly put the Texans up 30-27, leading the Cowboys 74 yards in 1:43 by brutalizing the Texans’ zone coverage. Dak should remain in the QB1 ranks next week against the woeful Buccaneers on Thursday.
  • DAL Quarterback #4
    Dak and the Cowboys came out with a run-heavy approach early, but Prescott was efficient through the air when given the chance. He was able to get both CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens involved in this one, with the two receivers combining for 14 receptions for 194 yards on the day. Prescott’s lone touchdown pass came on a 19-yard strike to Jake Ferguson in the third quarter to cut the Ravens’ lead to 24-21, but on the Cowboys’ final drive in the fourth quarter, he would go 3-of-6 passing for 36 yards while adding another nine yards on the ground to help set up a game-tying field goal by Brandon Aubrey. A literal last-second field goal moments later would give the Ravens the win, but Prescott and the Cowboys have now gone for 30-plus points in back-to-back weeks. He’ll be a fringe QB1/QB2 in next week’s game against the Texans.
  • DAL Quarterback #4
    Dak and the Cowboys faced little resistance from the Commanders’ defense in this one. The Cowboys came out firing from the start, as Prescott orchestrated a 10-play, 66-yard opening drive that ended with a three-yard touchdown pass to CeeDee Lamb, who had three receptions on the drive. Prescott threw his second touchdown of the game to Jake Ferguson, who broke free in the end zone for a 10-yard score, and in the third quarter, the two connected again for a 12-yard score. Dak found Lamb for a 24-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter to set the Cowboys’ franchise record for career touchdown passes (249), putting the finishing touches on what was an impressive day. Prescott will be a fringe QB1/QB2 in next week’s game against the Ravens in Rio De Janeiro.
  • DAL Quarterback #4
    A first half in which Prescott was victimized by drops and penalties from his supporting cast was completely overshadowed by a defensive performance that saw the Giants go 9-of-10 on third down and amass 394 yards of total offense. The Cowboys saw the ball only twice in the second half, scoring touchdowns on both drives, but it was ultimately not enough as they fell to 0-1 for the second consecutive season. Prescott’s lone interception came on a prayer ball down the sideline on third down at the end of the first half, eventually leading to a go-ahead touchdown for the Giants as they took a 14-7 deficit into the break, one they would not overcome. The Cowboys now turn the page to Week 2 as they prepare to host another division opponent in the Commanders in what has quickly become a near must-win game for both teams. Prescott will look to return to the QB1 ranks in a plus matchup.
  • Archer cites multiple sources on this one. Sorsby’s gambling issues were reportedly not enough to dissuade the Cowboys from considering him as a potential long-term replacement for QB Dak Prescott, who turns 33 next week and is signed through 2028. In the end, the NFL declined to hold a supplemental draft this year, preventing the Cowboys from potentially drafting him at “a lower-than-expected price.” Perhaps they will revisit the idea next offseason.
  • DAL Quarterback #4
    Solak’s prediction was among his bold predictions for the 2026 NFL season. Prescott having a shot at 5,000 yards, Solak said, would hinge on the Cowboys remaining a fast-paced offense in 2026. Last season the Cowboys led the league in play clock remaining at the snap and offensive plays per game, leading to 600 passes for Dak — a career high. The wideout duo of George Pickens and CeeDee Lamb won’t hurt matters for Prescott, who has eclipsed 4,500 passing yards three times in his NFL career. Pickens’ downfield ability was reflected in Prescott finishing sixth in deep ball accuracy last season. “The volume will be there for Prescott to not just lead the league in passing in 2026 but to once again challenge for the 5,000-yard milestone,” Solak said. Quarterbacks have thrown for more than 5,000 yards just 14 times in league history.
  • DAL Quarterback #4
    Schottenheimer said it’s “nothing to be concerned about.” We mostly agree, but every once in a while these situations become more serious or linger for a bit. Prescott figures to be a top-15 fantasy quarterback this year, though he won’t quite have the game scripts he had last year if Dallas’ defense can improve from “abysmal” to “regular bad” unit.
  • DAL Quarterback #4
    The Cowboys will play host to their division rival, the Eagles, in front of a national audience this Thanksgiving. The Cowboys downed the Kansas City Chiefs in a high-scoring 31-28 affair last season, and have won their last four Thanksgiving Day contests. The league has now announced two Cowboys games ahead of its full schedule release, as they are also set to take on the Giants on Sunday Night Football in Week 1.
  • NYG Quarterback #6
    We are once again waiting all day for a Sunday night. With the schedule release week officially upon us, the league announced on Monday that the Giants would kick off the season hosting the Cowboys for Week 1 of SNF. The John Harbaugh-led Giants will put their offseason rebuild on display on national television against a Cowboys team that finished 7-9-1 last season, largely due to their struggles on the defensive side of the ball. Both teams are hoping to show enough improvement to keep pace with the Eagles, who have finished first in the division two of the last three years.

    Sam LaPorta said he wants to continue playing for the Lions long-term.

    Earlier this week, LaPorta expressed frustration in an interview about his contract negotiations stalling in-season. The Athletic’s Colton Pouncy asked him a few follow-up questions today on the matter today, and LaPorta made clear that he hopes to remain a Lion long-term and is excited about the prospect of raising a family in Detroit. LaPorta seemed extremely earnest, saying he felt bad about his comments potentially causing a distraction for his team, but he knows his teammates care for him and want him to be happy and compensated. He handled the issue well and appears to be ready to play hard for a lucrative contract extension, which is good news for fantasy managers. LaPorta is a locked-in TE1 against the Packers this week.

    Jevón Holland (concussion) is questionable to play in Week 7 against the Texans.

    Holland, the Giants’ starting free safety, and Tyler Nubin (neck), the Giants’ starting strong safety, are both questionable to play. Meanwhile, starting perimeter CB Greg Newsome (concussion) has been ruled out. Expect the Texans’ passing offense to stay hot this week.

    Rashid Shaheed (hip) is not on the Seahawks’ final injury report and will play in Week 7 against the Chiefs.

    The Seahawks’ sporadic producer will be on the field against the Chiefs this week. Shaheed has been involved as a receiver and as a rusher, scoring touchdowns in consecutive weeks. He offers a low floor, but he makes for a viable FLEX starter this week.

    CJ Donaldson (shoulder) was removed from the injury report and will play in Week 7 against the Steelers.

    Donaldson is the third member of the Saints’ backfield committee. While he will get a few touches this week, he is not getting enough work for fantasy relevance.

    Landon Dickerson (knee/pectoral) was limited on Friday.

    Dickerson injured a pectoral muscle on Thursday, complicating his knee-related return from injured reserve. He is firmly in the questionable camp at this time. Eagles C Drew Kendall (knee) was upgraded to full participation.

    Saquon Barkley (hamstring) was limited on Friday.

    We had really hoped to see Barkley practice in full today. He still has a chance to take the field when the Eagles face the Cowboys in Week 7’s Monday Night Football game, but he is inching toward a questionable designation right now. Upgrading to full tomorrow would increase his odds of playing.

    Dallas Goedert (knee) did not practice on Friday.

    Goedert is on the wrong side of questionable for the Eagles’ Week 7 Monday Night Football game against the Cowboys. The Philadelphia Inquirer’s Jeff McLane reports that as of Thursday, there was “optimism” about Goedert’s Week 7 availability. Hopefully, he resumes practicing tomorrow.

    The Philadelphia Inquirer’s Jeff McLane said he got “the sense” that DeVonta Smith (hamstring) will not play in Week 7 against the Cowboys.

    Like Thursday, Smith was sidelined for Friday’s practice. The Eagles have been managing his practice reps and pulled him out for multiple drives in their Week 6 loss to the Panthers. The Eagles face the Cowboys on Monday night, giving Smith an extra day to rest. Consider him highly questionable to play at this time. McLane adds that Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) could also sit out this week.

    Kendal Daniels (neck) is questionable to play in Week 7 against the 49ers.

    Daniels was taken off the field on a stretcher last week, but managed to practice in full to begin the week. Daniels, a rookie, has 23 tackles, three quarterback pressures and one sack this season.
