Prescott completed 25 of 39 pass attempts for 266 yards and a touchdown, adding 30 yards on three rush attempts in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Rams.
Prescott was having a steady night against a tough Rams defense, coming a questionable offensive pass interference call away from potentially tying or taking the lead late in the fourth quarter. Overall, it appears that new head coach Mike McCarthy is more willing to take risks with his play calling, which could result in bigger fantasy totals (at the expense of efficiency) for his QB. The addition of 17th overall pick CeeDee Lamb (five catches for 59 yards) to Amari Cooper, Michael Gallup and Ezekiel Elliott gives Prescott the best supporting cast he has ever had as a pro. Prescott gets a much softer matchup against the Falcons defense Week 2, so we may see the full potential of the Cowboys offense unleashed.
