Jones: 'My opinion is Dak Prescott will start against Cleveland'

Oct 31, 2016

Via Charean Williams of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has already declared that Prescott would start next week against the Browns, after Romo returned to practice on a limited basis last week.

“Tony’s not ready to play,” Jones said. “That’s subject to Jason Garrett making the decision, but as far as the health issue is concerned of Tony, there’s not need of pushing it that fast. That’s more about Tony, and his health than it is any of the other issues we want to have here. . . .

“Tony’s making a lot of progress. We’re excited about that. My opinion is Dak will start against Cleveland.”

Fantasy Impact:

Prescott wasn't great early on Sunday night but led the team from down 10 points to an overtime victory. A lot of reports before this one indicated Romo had a real shot to make a return in Week 9.

Kittle returns to a great matchup against a Packers defense that ranks 26th in TE aFPA. He should be fired up as a high-end TE1 once again.

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
