The Dallas Cowboys were so dominant in their 40-0 victory over the New York Giants in Week 1 that quarterback Dak Prescott didn’t need to do much. He might need to do more this week against the New York Jets, but will he be able to get it done?
Fantasy Football analysis: Cowboys QB Dak Prescott
With the Cowboys scoring touchdowns on special teams and defense in the first quarter, Prescott wasn’t asked to make many playing in a driving rain. He completed just 54 percent of his passes for 143 yards.

The Cowboys and the Jets might arguably have the two best defenses in the NFL. Prescott, who was among the league leaders in turnovers last year, has to be careful throwing against Jets corners Sauce Gardner or D.J. Reed. And that’s if Prescott can survive the rush of the New York defensive line led by Quinnen Williams. The Jets defense harassed Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen into four turnovers last week and will be hunting for more this week.
