The Dallas Cowboys will host the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 12. 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 12?
Prescott is not on the injury report, and barring a surprise, he is expected to play.
We’ll continue to monitor the Cowboys’ injury report leading up to kickoff for any changes. You can also visit and bookmark our Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.
Should You Start or Sit Prescott in Week 12?
Prescott was all we could have asked for on Monday night against a vulnerable Raiders secondary, with 78.4% of his passing yards being picked up by his two star receivers.
He tied Matthew Stafford for the league lead in games with 3+ TD passes, and all five of Prescott’s have come in his past seven games. I’d be surprised if he adds to that total this week against an Eagles defense that has made Jordan Love and Jared Goff look like replacement-level QBs, not franchise options.
Prescott and Baker Mayfield (at Rams) are the two quarterbacks that I found most difficult to rank this week. Both are sitting just outside my top 10 at the position due to a lack of upside in these matchups, but I do give them a nod for the floor they are capable of providing.
