News: 1 day agoPrescott completed 25 of 33 passes for 268 yards, four touchdowns and zero interceptions in Monday's 33-16 win over the Raiders. He also lost a fumble.

Spin: Prescott and the Dallas offense stalled on the opening drive with both CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens on the sideline for disciplinary reasons. However, the trio picked things up considerably from there, with Prescott completing eight passes of at least 15 yards, including touchdowns of 37 and 18 yards to Pickens and Lamb, respectively. Prescott snapped a two-game streak without multiple touchdowns, and he now has at least three scores in five of his last seven contests.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Prescott returns for his age-32 campaign following a disappointing and injury-shortened 2024. In eight games, Prescott totaled 11 TDs and eight INTs through the air and wasn't much of a factor with his legs (career-low 54 yards). He averaged 14.6 fantasy PPG (16.8 in the six games he played in full), which was a far cry from the 20.2 (fifth highest) he averaged in 2023. Prescott has now missed multiple games in three of the past five seasons, though he has also been a top-8 fantasy QB (PPG) three times during the span. Adding George Pickens to a supporting cast that also includes CeeDee Lamb and Jake Ferguson is helpful, but because of the concerning dip in rushing, the 10-year vet is best viewed as fringe QB1.
