Dak Prescott (shoulder) not expected to play Sunday

Aug 18, 2021

Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy told reporters that QB Dak Prescott will continue to be limited at practice. “There’s a good chance he probably won’t play” Saturday against Houston, McCarthy said.

Fantasy Impact:

Prescott will continue to strengthen his arm but at some point concern for him being in game shape will set in. The good thing for Dak is he has a full, healthy stable of offensive talent surrounding him.

Fantasy Impact:

This is a tough matchup against the Rams' secondary, but there's also a chance for a shootout not that L.A.'s pass-catchers are back to health. JSN remains an interesting Flex play, while Lockett can't be trusted at this point.
