Any hypothetical quarterback competition propaganda halted with Cooper Rush’s poor showing on Sunday Night Football. It put plenty of attention on Prescott following the loss, stating he plans to return on Sunday against the Lions, on track with the original timeline of six weeks. The Cowboys have done well to get to 4-2 despite Prescott’s absence, and he’ll return at a great time with easy matchups against the Detroit Lions and Chicago Bears at home before a Week 9 bye.
In 2021, Prescott completed 68.8 percent of his passes for 4,449 yards, 37 touchdowns, and ten interceptions in 16 starts. From a fantasy perspective, his return should provide solid boosts to all pass-catchers within the Dallas offense.
Detroit Lions vs. Dallas Cowboys Odds
