[DAL - QB Dak Prescott faces uphill battle to return in Week 6](#40) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 1. [NO - Chris Olave suffers concussion]( Source: NFL.com Updating a previous report, New Orleans Saints WR [Chris Olave](=) (concussion) suffered a concussion during the Week 5 game and will not return. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Olave was thrown to the ground on a touchdown when he suffered the concussion. The Saints will host Cincinnati next week and hopefully get back Michael Thomas. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 2. [SEA - Fractured leg for RB Rashaad Penny](=) Source: NFL Network - Ian Rapoport Updating previous reports, Seattle Seahawks RB [Rashaad Penny](=) (leg) suffered a fractured tibia during the Week 5 game, according to sources. He is scheduled to undergo tests Monday, Oct. 10, to see if he needs to undergo surgery. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Penny is almost certainly heading to injured reserve and could be done for the season. Kenneth Walker III gained more value than any player in fantasy leagues during Week 5. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 3. [BUF - Outstanding performance for QB Josh Allen]() Source: NFL.com Buffalo Bills QB [Josh Allen](=) went 20-for-31 for 424 yards, four touchdowns and one interception against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 5. He also rushed for 42 yards on five carries during the game. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] This was a game for the ages from Allen. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 4. [BUF - Two touchdowns for WR Gabe Davis]() Source: NFL.com Buffalo Bills WR [Gabe Davis](=) caught three passes for 171 yards and two touchdowns against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 5. He was targeted six times during the game. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Davis was playing on another level with two huge touchdowns. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 5. [LAC - RB Austin Ekeler finally goes off](=) Source: ESPN Los Angeles Chargers RB [Austin Ekeler](=) rushed 16 times for a season-high 173 yards and a touchdown in Week 5 against the Cleveland Browns while turning his four targets into four grabs for 26 yards and a score. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Ekeler has made up for three scoreless weeks to open the season, and now has season-to-date stats to rival any running back in fantasy football. He'll face the Broncos next week. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 6. [CLE - Another strong game for RB Nick Chubb](=) Source: ESPN Cleveland Browns RB [Nick Chubb](=) rushed 17 times for 134 yards and two touchdowns in Week 5 against the Los Angeles Chargers, and he did not have a catch on his lone target. It was Chubb's third straight 100-yard game, fourth in five games, and his fourth straight outing with a touchdown, too. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Chubb is playing at a hall-of-fame level right now. He was one the best picks in fantasy leagues at a third-round discount. The Patriots will try to slow him down next week. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 7. [HOU - Dameon Pierce nearly reaches 100 yards]() Source: NFL.com Houston Texans RB [Dameon Pierce](=) rushed for 99 yards and one touchdown on 26 carries against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 5. He also caught three passes for 14 yards during the game. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Pierce was not to be denied on his carries, including many broken tackles, much like what we saw in the preseason. He's a fantasy RB1 and big hit at ADP in drafts, who will continue to power fantasy teams as long as the Texans are competitive. He and his team will rest during their bye this week. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 8. [MIN - WR Justin Jefferson continues terrific play]() Source: NFL.com Minnesota Vikings WR [Justin Jefferson](=) caught 12 passes for 154 yards against the Chicago Bears in Week 5. He was targeted 13 times during the game. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Some teams have a good game plan on defense to thwart the Vikings plans to scheme Jefferson open and get him in good matchups, and others have the personnel to contain him and force Kirk Cousins to go elsewhere. The Bears did not have a game plan to contain Jefferson. We'll see if Miami does next week. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 9. [ATL - Four snags for Drake London](=) Source: ESPN Atlanta Falcons WR [Drake London](=) registered four receptions for 35 yards on seven targets in Week 5 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] London got a little banged up in this one and like the rest of the Falcons pass offense, suffered without Kyle Pitts playing to draw attention from defenses. London will be a much less attractive play against the 49ers if Pitts is out again next week. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 10. [GB - Romeo Doubs not a big factor](=) Source: NFL.com Green Bay Packers WR [Romeo Doubs](=) caught three passes for 29 yards against the New York Giants in Week 5. He was targeted five times during the game. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Doubs looked like a high-floor PPR play after he became a clear starter over the last two weeks, but he was quiet in this game and took a back seat to Randall Cobb. Consider Doubs a what-the-heck WR3/Flex against the Jets next week. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 11. [GB - RB Aaron Jones has decent outing]( Source: NFL.com Green Bay Packers RB [Aaron Jones](=) rushed for 63 yards on 13 carries against the New York Giants in Week 5. He also caught two passes for 17 yards during the game. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Jones was running strong, but the Packers didn't control this game and possess the ball enough to make him a strong fantasy play. Consider him a boom/bust RB1 heading into a matchup with the Jets. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 12. [WAS - RB Brian Robinson makes season debut](=) Source: ESPN Washington Commanders RB [Brian Robinson](=) rushed nine times for a team-high 22 yards in Week 5 against the Tennessee Titans, and he was not targeted in the pass game. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Regardless of the stats, it was great to see Robinson on the field. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 13. [JAX - Six receptions for TE Evan Engram]() Source: NFL.com Jacksonville Jaguars TE [Evan Engram](=) caught six passes for 69 yards against the Houston Texans in Week 5. He was targeted 10 times during the game. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Engram is getting enough targets to justify starting him in PPR leagues, but he's not making big plays or scoring. He'll face the Colts next week. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 14. [MIN - Two touchdowns for RB Dalvin Cook]() Source: NFL.com Minnesota Vikings RB [Dalvin Cook](=) rushed for 94 yards and two touchdowns on 18 carries against the Chicago Bears in Week 5. He also caught two passes for 27 yards during the game. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Cook was able to finish two drives to make the fantasy week for teams that trusted him with an early pick in drafts. His shoulder problem isn't going to hinder his productivity. In Week 6, he'll face a Miami defense that gave up a ton to the Jets backs this week. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 15. [NYG - QB Daniel Jones has decent outing]( Source: NFL.com New York Giants QB [Daniel Jones](=) went 21-for-27 for 217 yards, zero touchdowns and zero interceptions against the Green Bay Packers in Week 5. He also rushed for 37 yards on 10 carries during the game. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Jones gutted out a good performance on an injured ankle with none of his top four receivers. Brian Daboll was willing to use Jones as a runner a lot, so his ankle must not be in too bad of shape. The Giants are off to a shocking 4-1 start heading into a home game with Baltimore. Jones could have value in 2QB/Superflex yet if he continues to get running quarterback usage in the ground game. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 16. [CLE - TE David Njoku leads way in Week 5](=) Source: ESPN Cleveland Browns TE [David Njoku](=) registered six receptions for a team-high 88 yards on his six targets in Week 5 against the Los Angeles Chargers. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] A switch flipped for Njoku in this offense in Week 3, and it hasn't turned off. Njoku is a physical mismatch whose value will only go up when Deshaun Watson returns in Week 13. He's a solid TE1 with the Patriots up next week. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 17. [JAX - RB James Robinson not a big factor]() Source: NFL.com Jacksonville Jaguars RB [James Robinson](=) rushed for 27 yards on 10 carries against the Houston Texans in Week 5. He also caught two passes for 12 yards during the game. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Robinson has been a letdown the last two weeks as the Jaguars haven't been in control of the game and getting him touchdown opportunities. The split with Travis Etienne has been basically 50-50 and with the offense not hitting on all cylinders, Robinson has dropped down to matchup RB2/Flex level ahead of a tough matchup with the Colts. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 18. [CHI - RB David Montgomery reaches end zone]() Source: NFL.com Chicago Bears RB [David Montgomery](=) rushed for 20 yards and one touchdown on 12 carries against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 5. He also caught four passes for 62 yards during the game. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Montgomery scored after a long bomb was one-hand snagged by Darnell Mooney, and he got free in the passing game a few times, but he wasn't efficient as a runner. The respect for Montgomery is going to keep him the starter, so Khalil Herbert might be a tough hold in short bench leagues as we start the bye week gauntlet. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 19. [LAC - QB Justin Herbert mediocre in Week 5](=) Source: ESPN Los Angeles Chargers QB [Justin Herbert](=) completed 22-of-34 passes for 228 yards, one touchdown, no interceptions and 13 rushing yards in Week 5 against the Cleveland Browns. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Herbert was quiet for fantasy because Chargers running backs scored twice on the ground. Austin Ekeler and Joshua Kelley also combined for 222 yards on the ground, so it was a balanced effort in a big win. Herbert is just a low ceiling QB1 against the Broncos next week. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 20. [MIA - QB Teddy Bridgewater injured]( Source: NFL.com Updating a previous report, Miami Dolphins QB [Teddy Bridgewater](=) (concussion, elbow) will not return to the Week 5 game because of a concussion. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Skylar Thompson took over with Bridgewater out and not surprisingly was uneven.

[MIN - QB Kirk Cousins productive in Week 5]() Source: NFL.com Minnesota Vikings QB [Kirk Cousins](=) went 32-for-41 for 296 yards, one touchdown and one interception against the Chicago Bears in Week 5. He also rushed for four yards and one touchdown on four carries during the game. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Cousins was finding Justin Jefferson open all day and that was enough to keep the Vikings on track to win for most of the game. Cousins will face a reeling Miami team next week. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 22. [NE - Bailey Zappe passes for 188 yards, TD](=) Source: ESPN New England Patriots QB [Bailey Zappe](=) completed 17-of-21 passes for 188 yards, one touchdown and one interception in Week 5 against the Detroit Lions while running for five yards. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Zappe played safe, sound football, and was more than good enough to win with a dominant defense. The team can take their time with Mac Jones knowing that the offense is in good hands with Zappe. He might get one more start at Cleveland next week and looks like he belongs in the NFL. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 23. [CHI - QB Justin Fields throws for 208 yards]() Source: NFL.com Chicago Bears QB [Justin Fields](=) went 15-for-21 for 208 yards and one touchdown against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 5. He also rushed for 47 yards on eight carries during the game. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Fields had his best game of the season and appears to be starting to turn the corner. He had a 52-yard scramble for a score called back by penalty or this would have been a successful fantasy outcome. Fields is worth an add in typical leagues ahead of the Thursday night game against Washington. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 24. [PIT - George Pickens finishes with 83 yards]() Source: NFL.com Pittsburgh Steelers WR [George Pickens](=) caught six passes for 83 yards against the Buffalo Bills in Week 5. He was targeted eight times during the game. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Pickens was the most productive wide receiver for Kenny Pickett for the second straight week. Consider him an upside WR3/Flex play against the Bucs next week. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 25. [ARI - RB James Conner questionable to return](=) Source: AZCardinals.com Arizona Cardinals RB [James Conner](=) (ribs) is questionable to return to the Week 5 game against the Philadelphia Eagles due to an injury to his ribs. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Darrel Williams also got banged up in this one with a knee injury. Eno Benjamin is the last man standing, although Keaontay Ingram could be active next week against the Seahawks. Benjamin is going to be a hot waiver wire pickup this week. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 26. [JAX - QB Trevor Lawrence struggles in Week 5]() Source: NFL.com Jacksonville Jaguars QB [Trevor Lawrence](=) went 25-for-47 for 286 yards, zero touchdowns and two interceptions against the Houston Texans in Week 5. He also rushed for 29 yards on four carries during the game. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Lawrence threw a pick in the end zone and couldn't connect with Christian Kirk on a fourth down in Texans territory to typify a frustrating day for him, his team, and fantasy teams that started him. He'll face a tough Colts defense next week and might be better left on fantasy benches. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 27. [NE - WR Jakobi Meyers rolls up 111 yards, TD](=) Source: ESPN New England Patriots WR [Jakobi Meyers](=) registered seven grabs for 111 yards and a touchdown on eight targets in Week 5 against the Detroit Lions, his third-career 100-yard game. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Meyers is the best route runner and creates the most separation of any Patriots receiver, so it makes sense that a young quarterback would rely on him to move the chains. Meyers should be in lineups as a WR3/Flex next week no matter who starts at quarterback for the Patriots. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 28. [PIT - Five receptions for WR Diontae Johnson]() Source: NFL.com Pittsburgh Steelers WR [Diontae Johnson](=) caught five passes for 60 yards against the Buffalo Bills in Week 5. He was targeted 13 times during the game. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Johnson had some almost big plays that he couldn't quite finish. He did at least lead the team in targets, and you know Kenny Pickett isn't going to be shy about throwing the ball. Johnson will be a high floor WR3/Flex against the Bucs, especially in PPR leagues. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 29. [ATL - QB Marcus Mariota leads team in rushing](=) Source: ESPN Atlanta Falcons QB [Marcus Mariota](=) completed 14-of-25 passes for just 147 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions in Week 5 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but he managed seven runs for a game-high 61 yards. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Mariota had a decent fantasy day in the unsuccessful comeback effort, but it was the kind of passing performance that makes you wonder when Desmond Ridder is going to get a chance to start. Mariota will absorb more punishment next week against the fierce 49ers defense. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 30. [DET - QB Jared Goff has ugly outing in Week 5](=) Source: ESPN Detroit Lions QB [Jared Goff](=) completed 19-of-35 passes for 229 yards, no touchdowns and one interception in Week 5 against the New England Patriots while also running for seven yards and losing a fumble. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Goff was solved by Bill Belichick yet again. The shorthanded Lions offense didn't help matters. The Lions and Goff go into their bye feeling like not much has changed during the Dan Campbell era when it comes to results. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 31. [DET - TE T.J. Hockenson crashes back to Earth](=) Source: ESPN Detroit Lions TE [T.J. Hockenson](=) posted just one 6-yard grab on four targets in Week 5 against the New England Patriots, following up his monster game with a dud. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] The Patriots focused on Hockenson, so it isn't all bad news, as he was considered the biggest threat in the short-handed offense. Hockenson is still a fine boom/bust TE1 who will likely have more room to operate when the offense has all hands on deck after the bye. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 32. [JAX - WR Marvin Jones finishes with 104 yards]() Source: NFL.com Jacksonville Jaguars WR [Marvin Jones](=) caught seven passes for 104 yards against the Houston Texans in Week 5. He was targeted 11 times during the game. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Jones is only a pickup in deep leagues as a desperation play after this performance, but it does underscore what looks like an unpredictable pass offense that could highlight Jones and Evan Engram one week, and Zay Jones and Christian Kirk the next. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 33. [TEN - RB Derrick Henry hits century mark again](=) Source: ESPN Tennessee Titans RB [Derrick Henry](=) rushed 28 times for 102 yards and two touchdowns in Week 5 against the Washington Commanders, and he added two grabs for 30 yards on his two targets. He has back-to-back 100-yard games for the first time since hitting the century mark in five straight games from Sept. 19-Oct. 18, 2021. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Henry is looking like his old self as he continues to roll. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 34. [NYG - WR Darius Slayton leads team in receiving]( Source: NFL.com New York Giants WR [Darius Slayton](=) caught six passes for 79 yards against the Green Bay Packers in Week 5. He was targeted seven times during the game. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Slayton was great as a rookie three years ago, but has been lost in the shuffle in an unstable Giants organization. He finally got an opportunity this year only because the top four receivers are all out, and showed that he may still have game after all. He's worth a pickup in deep leagues with the Ravens up next. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 35. [DET - WR Josh Reynolds flirts with triple digits](=) Source: ESPN Detroit Lions WR [Josh Reynolds](=) registered six grabs for a team-high 92 yards and 10 targets in Week 5 against the New England Patriots. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Reynolds accumulated a solid stat line in the Lions futile comeback effort. The Lions should be back to full strength on offense after the bye, so don't consider Reynolds an essential hold. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 36. [LAC - WR Mike Williams hits double-digit catches](=) Source: ESPN Los Angeles Chargers WR [Mike Williams](=) posted career-high 10 receptions for 134 yards on 13 targets in Week 5 against the Cleveland Browns. The yardage total was the second highest of his career. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Williams is subject to ups and downs, but his biggest games tend to come when Keenan Allen is out and Justin Herbert relies on him. Williams had a touchdown overturned on replay or it would have been a bigger day for him. Whether Allen is in against Denver next week or not, Williams should be in lineups. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 37. [SF - DE Nick Bosa checks out early, won't return]() Source: NFL.com San Francisco 49ers DE Nick Bosa (groin) left the Week 5 game against the Carolina Panthers due to a groin injury and he will not return. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] We'll hopefully know more Monday but this would be a big loss if Bosa were to miss time. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 38. [JAX - RB Travis Etienne surpasses 100 total yards]() Source: NFL.com Jacksonville Jaguars RB [Travis Etienne](=) rushed for 71 yards on 10 carries against the Houston Texans in Week 5. He also caught three passes for 43 yards during the game. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Etienne had a breakout game of sorts, although he was slowed down after a big hit that was originally called a fumble but overturned by repla. He remains a what the heck flex, but his value is up as the timeshare with James Robinson is levelling off. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 39. [NYG - RB Saquon Barkley posts over 100 total yards]( Source: NFL.com New York Giants RB [Saquon Barkley](=) rushed for 70 yards and one touchdown on 13 carries against the Green Bay Packers in Week 5. He also caught three passes for 36 yards during the game. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Barkley left briefly with an injury, but returned to score and looked as good as he did before he left the game. He's the most valuable running back in fantasy football heading into a matchup with Baltimore. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 40. [DAL - QB Dak Prescott faces uphill battle to return in Week 6]() Source: NFL Network - Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero Dallas Cowboys QB [Dak Prescott](=) (thumb) has not been ruled out for Week 6's game versus the Philadelphia Eagles but would need to make significant strides in order to play, according to multiple sources. He has done some light throwing and kept up with his conditioning recently but is still regaining grip strength. Prescott is scheduled to visit a doctor to have his progress evaluated Tuesday, Oct. 11, and at that point it will be determined what additional activities he can do on the field. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] The Cowboys likely made a mistake here not putting Prescott on injured reserve, but they aren't compounding the mistake by trying to bring him back too early. Cooper Rush's solid play and the team winning three straight with him at the helm is helping them keep calm and carry on without Prescott.
