Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott (thumb) said he will start Week 7 against the Detroit Lions on Sunday.
Prescott is fully expected to replace Cooper Rush as the starter and play for the first time since injuring his thumb in Week 1. He is practicing in full and draws a fantastic matchup on Sunday against the Lions in his first game back. CeeDee Lamb and the Cowboys' whole passing attack will get a boost from Prescott's return.
Dak is the QB6 in numberFire's Week 7 fantasy rankings and our models project him for 18.8 FanDuel points. The Lions are allowing the second-most FanDuel points per game to the quarterback position this season. They also rank 32nd in all three defensive categories in our advanced team metrics.
