Dak Prescott, QB, Dallas Cowboys
There are some players whose reputations can survive any number of bad weeks. Derrick Henry, Ja’Marr Chase, and A.J. Brown have remained must-starts in fantasy this year, despite all going through disappointing spells.
Dak Prescott isn’t one of those players, and while savvy fantasy managers will forgive him for a bad outing against the Denver Broncos (8.6 fantasy points), many will not. Prescott was available outside the top 100 picks in fantasy drafts this summer, and still isn’t short of doubters, despite his MVP-caliber start to the season.
The Dallas Cowboys star was the QB4 overall in fantasy points per game heading into Week 8, and should still be viewed as a top-five quarterback moving forward. He’ll almost certainly be available for less than that in many leagues, and some may even be openly looking to move him on.
Tua Tagovailoa | MIA (vs BAL)
Tua Tagovailoa entered last week coming off consecutive three-INT games, but he reversed his fortunes in a major way with four touchdown passes (zero interceptions) in Atlanta.
It was his fifth multi-TD pass game over his past seven, and that’s nice to see, but with almost no yardage upside to speak of (38 rushing yards this season with over 205 passing yards just twice), it’s hard to rank Tagovailoa as a tempting streamer.
I was encouraged by what I saw last week, don’t get me wrong. The scramble touchdown pass to Malik Washington at the end of the first half was impressive, and there will be moments of production from Miami’s southpaw.
But asking him to keep up with the top-12 QBs without an alpha receiver and without plus athleticism is unrealistic.
I thought the Ravens’ defense looked much better coming out of their bye in Week 8, and that has Tagovailoa hovering around QB20 for me this week, in the Aaron Rodgers tier at the position.
