The Dallas Cowboys will face the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 10. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, especially regarding QB Dak Prescott.
Is Dak Prescott Playing in Week 10?
Dak Prescott entered the medical tent along the Dallas Cowboys’ sideline at the start of the fourth quarter. Dallas subsequently announced that he was questionable to return with a hamstring injury, but Prescott never re-entered Sunday’s game.
Prescott underwent an MRI on his hamstring on Monday, and the news was not positive. The Cowboys quarterback could avoid surgery but will be placed on injured reserve this weekend, which will keep him out until at least Week 14.

An IR stint will cost Prescott at least four weeks. However, Cowboys EVP Stephen Jones said Friday at Prescott is expected to be sidelined for six weeks or more. Depending on how Dallas fares in his absence, Dak might not play again this season.
After Sunday’s game, Prescott said he thought he hurt his hamstring on a third-quarter scramble attempt.
“Yeah, we gotta get it looked at,” Prescott said. “Felt it on the little scramble to the left. Felt it, didn’t think much. Then on the next play, throwing that the stop route to the field, pulled something, I felt something I never felt. It was tough to walk on it at that point.”
Cooper Rush, who went 4-1 after relieving Prescott as the Cowboys’ starter in 2022, will be under center moving forward. Pro Football Network ranks Rush as the NFL’s 15th-best backup quarterback.
