Dak Prescott is QB6 for Week 8 against the Arizona Cardinals. He showed signs of life Monday Night Football with three passing TDs and the Cowboys run game showing pulse. Cardinals defense is weak. Prescott has strong home/road splits: averaging 20.4 fantasy points per game at home vs. 15.9 elsewhere over the last five seasons. Ian Hartitz says you could bump Dak ahead of Trevor Lawrence and still be reasonable.

The Cowboys are shifting to a run-first offensive approach under Jerry Jones's direction, moving away from a pass-first system. On Monday night, the Cowboys ran for 204 yards and passed for 212 yards as part of this strategic pivot. Jones stated "Our whole thing here is to establish the run" and "We've got to stick with this run." While Prescott played well in the game, the source notes it's easier to perform when the running game softens the defense and draws safeties closer to the line of scrimmage. The run-first approach worked on Monday night, whereas the pass-first system had not been effective.
