I am all for playing for pride and letting the starters play last week, but this game Sunday is completely pointless for a guy like Dak Prescott to play. It is all speculation, but Prescott has had two major surgeries and just had his healthiest year in a long time, yet they are running him out there in a game that means 100% nothing. If something were to happen to him, how do you think the front office and head coach Brian Schottenhimer would feel answering to the media?
Dak gets a B- this week. The structure of the offense still produced answers. There were completions available in the quick game and a few shot opportunities off play-action, and that rainbow ball for a touchdown was an absolute season highlight. But the timing wasn't consistently sharp and a couple of key throws were just a beat late or slightly off.
Each week in the NFL is its own story -- full of surprises, both positive and negative -- and fantasy football managers must decide what to believe and what not to believe moving forward.

"We had the openers planned the way that we wanted to run them, and we called the same stuff that we were going to call," Adams said. "I don't know if there were really any adjustments. You always have a plan for a player like that, but I don't think you go into it, 'Oh, let's throw this stuff out.' It was designed the way it was designed, so I
The biggest culprit for Prescott's regression in these talks is not himself: it is his league-worst, atrocity-of-a-defensive-unit. Dallas knows this, so they tried to fix it. Their next games will feature a slew of fresh faces on the defense, including external additions Quinnen Williams and Logan Wilson. They will also get guys like DeMarvion Overshown, Shavon Revel, and Malik Hooker back to full speed this month.
Dallas Cowboys QB Dak Prescott has long been a steady performer when the national spotlight shines brightest. With a 5-2 career record on Monday Night Football, Prescott has shown a knack for delivering when the stage is big, and the lights are bright. Next Monday night, he'll have another chance to add to that record when the Cowboys take on the Las Vegas Raiders, his first time ever playing in back-to-back Monday night games.
