Should I Drop Dak Prescott? Fantasy Football Outlook for Week 10

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott is dealing with a hamstring injury and looks like he's heading to the IR.

Should I Drop Dak Prescott in Fantasy Football?

If the Cowboys put Dak Prescott on Injured Reserve, as is expected, the Dallas quarterback will have to miss at least four games.

Is losing Prescott for at least that long enough for fantasy managers to drop him and free up a roster spot?

Maybe. Through nine weeks, Prescott ranks as the overall QB20 in fantasy as he has suffered greatly from not having a reliable weapon outside of CeeDee Lamb. He simply hasn't been performing, which has hurt fantasy managers who drafted him with the expectation he would be a QB1 play.

We know from his past track record that Prescott has upside, but halfway through this season he has continued to struggle. In a single-QB league, you can go ahead and drop him.

In Superflex, hold on to Prescott, as his upside is worth it in that format.

Who Should I Pickup in Week 10 Fantasy Football?

So you're dropping Dak Prescott. Now what?

One player you could grab is Tua Tagovailoa, who recently returned from an extended absence due to a concussion. Last week, Tagovailoa completed 89.3% of his pass attempts for 231 yards and a pair of touchdowns.

All jokes aside.

In addition to Nix, options include Bo Nix, Justin Herbert, and Russell Wilson, all of whom could help you weather the Nico Collins absence, which has made it tough to trust C.J. Stroud in fantasy lineups.
