FanDuel Salary Changes: Week 9

Dak Prescott, QB, Dallas Cowboys

FanDuel Price: $7,600
Salary Change: Up $500

Dak Prescott has come a long way since his $5,000 Week 1 salary, eh? Once his salary was adjusted for his status as the starting quarterback, Prescott’s price hasn’t fluctuated all that much since Week 2 -- it was never lower than $7,100 or higher than $7,300. But now this week, his salary is $500 more expensive after his productive performance last week and a matchup with the Cleveland Browns in Week 9.

While Prescott made tons of mistakes throughout the game last Sunday night, he still finished with 287 passing yards and 2 passing touchdowns while adding 38 yards and a score on the ground. On Sunday, he’ll face an opponent that has allowed 2.4 passing touchdowns per game this season, the most in the NFL.

Prescott’s ceiling is now also higher than it was earlier in the season, as the Cowboys’ secondary lost two key starters to injury -- Morris Claiborne and Barry Church. In theory, this should turn more contests into shootouts, meaning more pass attempts and scoring opportunities for Prescott. Vegas is on board with this theory, as the game total between the Browns and Cowboys has already jumped 2.5 points since it opened.

Prescott offers a solid floor with immense upside, making him a perfect selection in all formats this week on FanDuel.
