This was Derrick Henry’s spot last week but due to the injury, he is no longer in contention. This also could have gone to Burrow or Herbert if they had better performances. When looking at the rest of the league, this seems like a good spot for Cowboys’ quarterback Dak Prescott.

Prescott didn’t play this past week against the Vikings due to a calf injury suffered before the bye week. However, when looking at his performance over the entire season, Prescott is certainly in the MVP discussion.

He currently ranks fourth in the league in passing yards per game (302.2) with 16 passing touchdowns and four interceptions. Prescott is also leading the league in completion percentage at 73.1% and the Cowboys are 6-1 and in control of the NFC East.

He is expected to be back this week and has a chance to add to his resume with a game against the Denver Broncos.
