Dak Prescott

The loss to the Vikings surely wasn't any fault of him, as he tallied three passing touchdowns for the second straight week. He's now tallied multiple touchdowns in 7-of-9 games this year and sits as the No. 4 quarterback in fantasy football. The Lions have been struggling on defense this year, allowing 8-of-9 teams to score at least 20 points, including four of the last six teams to score 26-plus points. Despite not playing a top-five fantasy quarterback in the last month, they've allowed 13 passing touchdowns over their last four games, including three to Mitch Trubisky last week. The only teams that have allowed more fantasy points to quarterbacks over that span have been the Raiders, Cardinals, Bucs, and Bengals. They've allowed 8.50 yards per attempt during that time, so it's not volume, either. The fact that their run-defense is still the one of the worst in the league doesn't allow them to shift focus, either. They haven't been getting consistent pressure to the quarterback and because of that, they've generated a sack on just 5.4 percent of dropbacks. In the two games Prescott finished with less than two touchdowns were games against the Saints and Jets, and he was pressured at least 40 percent of the time in those games. The Lions have generated more than 37.9 percent of pressure just once all season. He's known as someone who has stinkers from time-to-time, but there's not much of a reason to predict one here. He's a solid QB1 play against the Lions, though he'd be even more appealing if Stafford plays. The only concern for him in cash games is the fact that the Cowboys could try to use this contest to get the run-game going, as it's a great matchup for that.

Dak Prescott throws for 444 yards and three touchdowns Sunday

Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott completed 29 of 46 pass attempts for 444 yards and three touchdowns in Sunday's win over the Detroit Lions. He also rushed six times for 18 yards.

Fantasy Impact

Prescott has now thrown nine touchdown passes against just two interceptions in three games since the team's Week 8 bye week, and he seems to be hitting his stride as the team attempts to make a push for the NFC East division title.
