Dak Prescott to Miss at Least Four Games

2024 Fantasy Football Impact

Prescott will miss -- at least -- home games vs. Philly, Houston, and the Giants, as well as a Week 12 visit to Washington.

If he's ready, he can return for a Week 14 home date with the Bengals. That would be a positive matchup for a fully healthy Prescott. We'll obviously have to see what we get come that point.

If Prescott can get healthy ahead of the fantasy playoffs, he gets a nice set of matchups. Beyond the Bengals sit a visit to Carolina's terrible defense and an upside home date with the Buccaneers.

I'd bet against the Dallas QB landing inside our top 12 for a Week 17 road trip to Philadelphia.

Whether to hold Prescott through this IR stint will depend heavily on the specifics of your situation.

Other Winners & Losers

The whole Dallas offense loses with the downgrade from Prescott to Cooper Rush.

Rush has just six career starts since entering the league in 2017. His 2022 fill-in stint marks the only year in which Rush has started multiple games. He averaged just 191.2 passing yards and 1.0 TD passes across those five starts.
