1. Dak Prescott bounces back from the Rams loss and thoroughly dominates the Atlanta Falcons

Game: Atlanta Falcons at Dallas Cowboys (Sunday, 9/20,1:00pm EST)

Let’s be vividly blunt: Dak Prescott has the best wide receiving corps in the NFL. There is no reason he shouldn’t finish the season with 4,500+ passing yards and at least 35 touchdowns (accounting for his personal talent, too). The trio of Amari Cooper, Michael Gallup, and CeeDee Lamb is too skilled for Prescott to bumble in the low-to-mid 20s for touchdown passes.

Last week, Prescott was mostly stifled by the Rams secondary as he only notched for one touchdown. His 266 passing yards were impressive, but in a nationally-televised primetime affair during Week 1, Prescott needed to make a few more plays.

He will do just that this week against the Falcons. Atlanta was spanked at home and ceded four touchdown tosses to the Seahawks Russell Wilson in Week 1, 38-25. Now, the Falcons travel deep into the heart of Texas — a nasty spot for a team looking to get back to .500.

The Falcons defense showed no outward evidence as to how or why they will fare better against Prescott and his deadly threesome of wideouts.

Prescott lights up Atlanta’s embattled secondary and finishes as a top-three fantasy quarterback for the week. Start him with no emotional reservations.
