BALLER MOVE: Start in 10+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: QB1
ANALYSIS: Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott threw for an impressive 379 yards and two scores last week against the Baltimore Ravens. In this defeat, Prescott attempted a season-high 51 passing attempts.
While much of this was dependent on game-script as the Cowboys fell behind quite early, it was a great sign to see Prescott see a high volume of passing work.

Currently, the Cowboys have had one of the worst rushing attacks in the league, averaging just 73.7 yards per game on the ground, which is the third-lowest mark in football. As a result, fantasy managers should expect Prescott to see a high dose of passing attempts going forward, as the Cowboys cannot move the ball on the ground.
This week, he will face the New York Giants, who have allowed 186.3 passing yards per game this season. However, despite the tougher matchup, Prescott's high volume should make him a safe play on Thursday night.
With elite weapons like CeeDee Lamb and tight end Jake Ferguson, Prescott should always have a safe floor with a high ceiling, especially given the current state of the Dallas rushing attack.
