The Dallas Cowboys will host the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 13. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, specifically regarding QB Dak Prescott.
Is Dak Prescott Playing in Week 13?
Prescott is not on the injury report and barring a surprise, he is expected to play.

Should You Start or Sit Prescott in Week 13?
For the seventh time this season, Dak Prescott threw multiple touchdown passes last week, and he’s proven relentless over the course of four quarters this season.
Against the Eagles last week, Prescott’s Cowboys looked dead to rights, but he stuck with the plan, and it paid off. In the victory, 57.1% of his targets and 62.4% of his passing yards went to his top two receivers: if we see that level of execution the rest of the way, he can be a Tier 1 pocket passer.
His rushing days are behind him, but with over three fantasy points on the ground in three of his past four starts, there’s at least the hope for him to add value secondarily.
The Chiefs have allowed a QB to reach his season fantasy average just three times through 12 weeks, and that sort of tenacity requires us to adjust our expectations a bit. That said, if you’re projecting Patrick Mahomes to have success in this spot, you’re forcing Prescott’s hand in terms of volume, and that’ll get him into the QB1 conversation more often than not.
Right now, he’s on the right side of the top-12 at the position for me.
