Dallas Cowboys quarterback Ben DiNucci seems more likely to start Week 8 versus the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday night as Andy Dalton remains in the NFL's concussion protocol, per Tom Pelissero of NFL Network.
Dalton "is progressing through the concussion protocol, but all signs are pointing" to DiNucci making his first career start. The seventh-round rookie completed 2-of-3 passes for 39 yards in the Cowboys' loss to the Washington Football Team after Dalton was knocked out of the game. DiNucci threw 45 touchdowns with 18 interceptions from 2018-2019 at James Madison and he added 229 carries for 1,002 yards and 16 touchdowns.
DiNucci has a salary of $6,500 on FanDuel's Week 8 main slate. The Eagles are allowing 20.3 FanDuel points per game to opposing quarterbacks this season.
