Quarterback
Dak Prescott (TRUST): After a QB6 scoring week to open the season, Prescott was the QB28 (7.5 points) in Week 2. Dating back to last season, it was just his second non-QB1 performance. The common thread is facing Brandon Staley defenses, which invite opposing teams to run the ball against light fronts. Dallas did just that, with their backs rushing 29 times for 180 yards and two touchdowns.
Prescott was still excellent in the game, though, completing 23-of-27 passes (85.2%) for 237 yards (8.8 Y/A). The Eagles just lost Brandon Graham, but they have opened the season strong against the run.
One thing Prescott has dealt with early this season is team’s sending blitzes his way. Prescott has been blitzed on 41.3% of his dropbacks, the third-highest rate in the league. Against the blitz, Prescott is 25-of-37 (67.6%) for 243 yards (6.6 Y/A). When not blitzed, Prescott is 40-of-48 (83.3%) for 397 yards (8.3 Y/A). The Eagles have blitzed at the 31st rate (6.9%) so far through two weeks.
