Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott (thumb) will not play in Week 5 against the Los Angeles Rams, reports Michael Gehlken of the Dallas Morning News.
Cowboys team owner Jerry Jones revealed Tuesday that Prescott isn't able to comfortably grip footballs with his surgically repaired right thumb, so it's not surprising the quarterback isn't ready to play. Cooper Rush will make another start on Sunday against the Rams and Will Grier, who was signed to the active roster on Tuesday, will be the backup.
Rush has a $6,500 salary on FanDuel in Week 5 and he's the QB23 in our weekly rankings, with a projection of 15.4 FanDuel points. The Rams are ranked 21st in FanDuel points allowed per game to the quarterback position this season. Among the 30 quarterbacks with at least 100 drop backs this season, Rush is 14th in Passing Net Expected Points per drop back.
