Outlook Dak Prescott

Dak Prescott vs Arizona — Poised for a big performance in a projected shootout

Coming off an impressive 38-21 victory over Philadelphia where he tossed three touchdowns, Prescott has the Dallas passing attack back on track alongside top weapons CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens. Completely healthy heading into Week 8, he commands an offense eager to build momentum at home.

This contest sets up as a prime fantasy spot, featuring a high-scoring projected environment against a struggling Arizona pass defense. We project Prescott for roughly 283 passing yards and two touchdowns (20.1 fantasy points), meaning fantasy managers should feel confident slotting him into their lineups across all formats.

Outlook Jalen Hurts

Jalen Hurts on injured reserve for season following serious medical issue

Hurts remains completely sidelined after being placed on injured reserve with blood clots in his lungs, an issue that will cost him the remainder of the season. Recent developments confirm both the NFL and NFLPA are conducting a joint inquiry into his treatment, while Tanner McKee operates under center for Philadelphia.

Through five games this year, Hurts registered 933 passing yards and eight touchdowns before his abrupt absence. With our projections holding him at zero points and his roster rate plummeting, redraft managers can safely move on, though dynasty managers should check back often for further health updates.
