Dak Prescott Week 7 Outlook - Cowboys at Commanders

By Mike Tagliere (FantasyPros), Wed, Oct 17th 2018, 1:18pm EDT

Apparently oddsmakers weren't impressed with Prescott's performance last week, as this game has the lowest total on the slate with the Cowboys projected to score just under 20 points. The Washington defense has played a bit of Jekyll and Hyde this year, as they looked good early on, only to allow Drew Brees make them look like the worst pass defense in the league. Outside of that game, though, they've yet to allow a quarterback more than 6.9 yards per attempt. Prescott himself hasn't topped that mark in 4-of-6 games and will have to rely on his legs against Washington. The issue is that they've held mobile quarterbacks such as Andrew Luck to two rushing yards, Aaron Rodgers to 13 yards, and last week Cam Newton to 43 scoreless yards. They have an athletic front-seven who's healthy, so it's not a matchup to target, especially on the road in a divisional game. Prescott may have raised his stock last week, but he's still finished outside the top-15 quarterbacks in 5-of-6 games. Until we see a trend, look elsewhere for a streamer.
