Zac Taylor left the Bengals in the spotlight, openly hinting at a quarterback change after Jake Browning’s turnover-plagued 37-24 loss to Detroit, with the offense sputtering for a third straight week. Browning’s late surge produced all three Cincinnati TDs in the fourth, but the early mistakes overshadowed the rally. Fantasy takeaway: Browning’s job security is precarious in deep 2-QB or superflex formats, while Cincinnati could turn to backups if the turnover trend continues.

On the wider fantasy board, watch Tyjae Spears’ IR return for Tennessee and how it shifts Pollard’s volume in a stalled Cowboys offense, especially with Lamb and Turpin sidelined. In other notes, Cowboys receivers Pickens and Ferguson emerge as top-volume plays with Lamb out, while Baltimore’s offense becomes drama-free only if Jackson returns healthy. Joe Burrow’s status and potential toe/turf timelines also loom over Bengals targets and speculative adds.

Dallas rode a sharp Week 5 performance to a convincing win over the Jets, signaling a turning point with a revamped offense. Dak Prescott’s play has fans buzzing about an MVP run, even if he downplays the chatter. Javonte Williams showed a breakout spark, crediting a deeper grasp of Dallas’ scheme for his growth, while George Pickens supplied another strong fantasy outing. Dallas faces an favorable October slate, suggesting continued offensive momentum and upside for its fantasy roster.

Offseason additions are paying dividends as the Cowboys lean on a more cohesive unit. The win emphasizes how Prescott, Williams, and Pickens can drive value on a weekly basis, especially as Dallas pursues a sustained winning stretch. Fantasy managers should monitor Prescott’s pace, Williams’ workload, and Pickens’ target volume as Dallas stacks wins and elevates its ceiling.

Overall, the Cowboys’ offense looks capable of supporting multiple fantasy assets as they stack wins and navigate a favorable schedule, making Prescott, Williams, and Pickens top targets for continued production and upside.

Dallas rode a patchwork line to a 37-22 win over the Jets, with Dak Prescott threading four TDs on 237 passing yards and adding 28 rushing yards as presnap motion helped guide decisions. George Pickens hauled a 43-yard TD on a deep post, while Ryan Flournoy topped 100 receiving yards and Javonte Williams hit 100 rushing in the same half, the first time Dallas had both 100+ receivers and rushers in a half since 1978.

The win showcased Dallas’ resilience behind Schottenheimer’s call sheet and a defense that forced five sacks and multiple takeaways. With Lamb and Turpin sidelined, the depth chart answered the bell, and Prescott’s leadership fueled an offense that remains potent as it eyes a daunting November stretch.
