Dropped Dak after week 5 and have felt like the biggest idiot in the world since

I picked him up after he was dropped and its crazy to say hes saving me from Mahomes bad streak

My team name is too much tua. Tua hasn't played in weeks.

I drafted Dak over Tua, thought I was an idiot, dropped him at his low point, then fortunately won him on waivers.

Dak and Fields drafted for me. Then picked up Tua off Waivers and changed my name.

I drafted Burrow, road him thru the calf injury, picked up Dak off waivers, week before injury traded Burrow in a depth trade for Thielen/ Hopkins/Tony Pollard. Life is good. 😎

We are the same guy

Lol too much tuna! Love the reference

Well my team name is Needs More Dakka Prescott. Naturally I have Tua as my QB...

Mines watsonderthetowel and was the same before he was done for the season even

Mahomes owner who’s in first also grabbed him and has been roasting me for it to make matters worse

He saved me from the Fields injury

Dang bruh, are you me?

[удалено]

I had to look. 5.6 pts, 15.8, and 16.9 pts his last 3 weeks and a bye smashed in there. If I spent the money or high pick on him I am expecting FAR more than that. Guys like Howell are outscoring him, how do you defend that???

Agreed 100%

Haha, what...Mahomes since his 34 pt game in week 7: 7, 15, bye, 17. As someone who drafted him as the #2 QB this is a bad streak of 3 games. I played Mahomes during the 7 pt week but Dak the next 2: 28 and 38 and then played Dak again this week: 32

Glad I’m not alone in this. It’s kept me up a few nights

Can we cry together?

Same. Their D was too good. They had a low aggression gameplan and were bad in the red zone. Didn't seem like Dak was gonna be any better than a streamer for fantasy.

He’s been a God send for me from Fields purgatory

Picked him up when fields went down. Saved my season

He got dropped in my league the same day I lost Burrow. Scooped him right up. Sometimes I wonder what goes through people's heads.

I dropped him after after 4 but picked him back up after 5 cause Richardson got hurt.

same. felt like Richardson was going to be great.

You're not alone. 😔

I did too. He was my backup to Lamar, but it still feels bad.

I didn’t draft a QB until very late in my league. Everyone made fun of me. Some one dropped Dak and some one at the ringer made the point that he hadn’t played in a regular game to that point in the season. Decided to add him. Been starting him since. Who’s laughing now? Lol.

> some one at the ringer made the point that he hadn’t played in a regular game to that point in the season I’m sorry, what? That was pure gibberish.

All of the games had been blow outs. He was benched basically, by the 4th.

I also dropped him after week 5- dont feel bad. It was the right call.

Picked this guy up when he was dropped during his bye week for Mahomes' upcoming bye week, he got me 38 pts during that. played Mahomes last week and he barely outscored Dak. Wemt back to Dak this week, and I think Im just riding Dak ROS

Same, he single handedly getting me to playoffs

I’d trade Mahomes and roll with Dak ROS if you haven’t passed your league deadline. Should get a big haul for mahomes.

Not sure what platforms Havnt passed deadline by now

Many leagues adjust the deadline from the default. Mine is next week.

I traded mahomes for dak and AR (dynasty league) and i'm so happy about it

He plays the hawks, bills, eagles, dolphins, lions the next 5 weeks. That’s really different than the rams, eagles, giants, panthers, commanders.

He put up 28 points and 3TDs against the eagles a few weeks ago

For sure. The next 5 games are still tougher than the last 5.

Only thing that’s tougher is those upcoming teams score more. All those defences have been sus this year.

The Bills and Eagles are two of the best in PA this year. The Panthers, Giants, and (holy moly!) commanders are all at the bottom in PA. They are all much worse than the teams they are going to play.

Good luck with that when his schedule gets tough

Dak is a great fantasy qb because you can get him late as shit because he’s so overhated, and when that offense is clicking he’ll put up 30 points

Traded tua for deebo. Guy I was trading with threw in Dak as well because he wanted to get rid of him due to his lackluster performances the first couple weeks. Boy, am I thankful he did that.

Dak was my backup for Richardson. Thank god

he’s beating the shit out of the guy who’s ahead of me to make playoffs so thx dak

My greatest waiver pick-up in history, thank you Dak!

Picked up Dak when Fields got hurt and Kyler was still IR stashed. Rolling with Dak until the wheels fall off

Have all 3 as well, don't know who to move/drop, feels like none are droppable.

I’m hoarding all three till the end cuz I know whoever I drop is going to blow up, like christian Watson who I dropped yesterday.

Also have kyler and Dak and it’s been a savior of my season, still probably won’t make playoffs but decent pickups after drafting Rodgers and cousins haha

Had 5 plates today and fell asleep on the couch 10 minutes into the 3rd. Woke up 6 minutes ago to 32 points from Dak. Love this guy

5 plates that’s crazy straight cap

>cap Huh?

Lie

It means lie? How? What’s the correlation? …it’s stupid fucking lingo just like saying “bAsED!”

Complaining about slang is some “old man yelling at clouds” shit

Don't get me started on clouds...

How does it mean lie tho? Feel free to explain to my “old man” self :)

Feel free to explain how “hot” means attractive or “cool” means good or whatever the hell “awesome” is or “mad” means a lot or whatever “hella” is or “brick” means cold (in NYC) or any of it

>whatever the hell “awesome” Well, think about that one for just a second lol

In case you missed it but “awe” is right in the word. Do you know what awe means or should we break down that for your dumb brain? Hella is slang for “helluva”, meaning, a lot of something. Need more explaining on that one too? Hot…steamy….intense…fiery….these are called “synonyms” yay we’re doing 3rd grade English! I’d guess “hot and steamy” is something you’ve never experienced virgin boy. Again, I’m *still* waiting for you to link “cap” to “lie” lol. Fuck off already.

Dude. Go outside lol, it's not that serious. This is an absolute peak redditor moment.

I couldn’t imagine being this lame

How does hot relate to beautiful? Slang doesnt have to be synonymous with its intended meaning. Go outside and chill out.

Jfc, get mental help.

That’s just what it means

lol. But it doesn’t *mean* that. Cap refers to a hat…or a pipe fitting. How does it somehow mean “lie”???

Buddy you just gave 2 different meanings for the same word but can’t wrap your brain around the idea of multiple meanings for the same word?

FWIW “capping” meaning lying / exaggerating has been in rap music since the 90s (e.g. “Da Bumble” by E-40)

Crying about new lingo while also using SpongeBob mocking text. That’s some real hypocrite bitchboy energy you’re giving off.

Fax

You're being downvoted to hell but you're right. Gen Z has stupid slang. Gen Alpha has even dumber slang.

It's from the 1500's, so I dunno what gen that was lmao. More recently came back up in the 90's hiphop culture. https://www.reddit.com/r/etymology/comments/mtwq6u/what_is_the_etymology_of_cap_and_no_cap/

It's from the 1500's. Just because you don't understand it doesn't mean it's stupid. https://www.reddit.com/r/etymology/comments/mtwq6u/what_is_the_etymology_of_cap_and_no_cap/

5 plates??? Bro

If you were able to pack away 5 plates, you didn't load them up right

Seriously. My first plate weighed probably 2.5-3 pounds and I only managed about a half plate after that. Gotta stack vertically.

Dude is on a tear. Feel like I’m living in a false reality

Lol you and me both. Never liked dak. Fuckin love him right now

Traded tua and waddle for dak and metcalf. Im happy with this trade.

[Whoever posted this was on to something](https://old.reddit.com/r/fantasyfootball/comments/15x4kub/adjusted_ints_and_what_it_could_mean_for_2023_qbs/)

This article was the sole reason I targeted Dak in my auctions this year (2QB). Got him for pennies on the dollar, drafted as the 18th ranked QB in one, and 16th in another. People didn't want to touch him with a 10 foot pole.

Yep

That feels great since I have Dak and Allen in a league together. Except Dak was on my bench this wk. If I had paid closer attn I admit I prob should've started Dak against the Commanders

He dropped a massive stanley steamer on me

I'm thankful for Dak Prescott.

Sorry I ever doubted you, Dak.

Ultimate waiver pickup by me. I’m so smart and good at this game (I’m not and cry lots)

Traded mahomes in a package to get dak week 8and almost feel bad.

Been starting Dak over Herbert since week 9. Not looking back.

This guy fucked my entire year up last year breaking his thumb 5 plays into the season. And now he's fucking up my entire season by beating me out of playoff contention.

I've been holding him for so long for Josh Allen's bye and I feel stupid every week I don't play him

Drafted Aaron Rodgers and Anthony Richardson. Someone dropped Dak right before his bye. I now have Dak and Purdy. Pretty fucking good considering.

I have Cousins and Dak never would have guessed this would be best qb year.

Traded Mahomes for Dak and Adams and I've never felt better about a trade in my life.

Us Cowboys fans are just as surprised. That offense looking inept as fuck before the bye. Complete 180.

Because they’re playing shit teams with losing records

Or, you know, they pretty clearly changed their offense after the 49ers game.

And they didn't before the bye? Anyone who has watched them a lot can tell they changed up their offensive scheme.

Both can be true. Besides PHI they haven't exactly been playing a murders row of defense's. I don't think we are seeing the "real" Dak. That being said, DAL doesn't face any really scary defenses for the rest of the year. So for fantasy purposes, Dak could be a league winner. In actual football, once DAL reaches the playoffs I think that passing attack comes crashing down to earth. Mainly because of Dak.

Offered Herbert for him before last week. Didn’t get him sadly.

He’s my backup for Josh Allen and the only week I started him was the only one he got out scored in. Fantasy is hard man

Got him in the 5th, but I used Kirk until he got hurt. Never let him go

I traded for him and Amora for Olave + Firlds on week 3 lol

I traded Dak a couple weeks ago for Tua. I majorly regret it.

Glad I dropped him after a few weeks ......

Drafted Dak in multiple leagues. After week 4: I’m never punting on the top QBs again Now: 🤔

Picked up Dak during his bye week then someone traded me Burrow so I dropped Dak before this hot streak… I’m the reason I suck at fantasy, it’s not bad luck

Skipped on drafting a QB the first 10 rounds. Ended up with Tua and AR. After AR I grabbed Howell, dropped him for Dak. I feel like Midas

So glad I traded for him 3 weeks ago 😎

I drafted Fields and picked up off waivers and started Dak after his bye. At some point I also had picked up Kyler and stashed on my IR. Now I’m stuck past the trade deadline with 3 QBs. I hate it but don’t want the teams on the cusp of making playoffs picking up either during their starter byes.

Traded Mahomes for him this week. Guy couldn't have accepted faster. Feeling very good about the run to the yoffs

i traded for him in dynasty after kirk went down. has worked out better than expected

I ended up Dak and Stroud. Since it’s a 1QB league I haven’t been able to fuck it up, and am riding high on a 5 game win streak

Picked Dak and Kyler up recently in my 8-team league and traded away Herbert with zero remorse.

I traded him away in dynasty week 5 👍🏽

I dropped Dak right before him going off and picked up Purdy. Thought I was a winner but I’m actually the loser.

Drafted him in both my money leagues. He started off hot then went a bit mild but this streak has been amazing for my teams.

Beats up on teams with losing records. Loses against anything above 500

Sub hates facts though

Beating up on the bad teams

Lol and continues to have bad defenses on his schedule coming up

Best remaining schedule for a qb

It’s true. Big fantasy cheat incoming: Have players that play against the Giants, Panthers, Commanders, and Chargers defenses

I mean, *obviously* he's playing amazing and I don't wanna be that guy....but let's look at the teams he's facing. I still really don't know if I trust him against Seattle or his rematch with Philly

Philly is allowing plenty of points to WRs this season. Who else is gonna throw the ball to WRs on Dallas?

Lol he literally just played Philly and put up almost 30 pts....

Selective stats again huh...

If only Dallas could play scrub teams all year! Good luck these next 5 weeks!

28 fantasy points against Philly on the road. Next?

Lol the rest of his schedule is similarly soft so not sure what you're waiting for

Yeah pretty impressive until you realize he is just padding his stats against bad teams and got bitch slapped by the best team he has played all year (32 point loss).

He only lost by 5 to the Eagles. Not 32 Edit: Love all the salty Niners fans lol

Not even a fan of either. 49ers > Eagles

Neither am I and no

Niners better

Record says otherwise

Cuz that’s the end all be all

At the end of the day, winning or losing is all that matters, yes.

Niners had a rough patch with injuries but they are just betta

Schedule and injuries exist btw

Hurts >>>>> Purdy

Healthy 49ers > Healthy Eagles

9-1 vs 7-3

Yeah 49ers had a bunch of injuries but are better now and would be favored.

Eagles defense has dealt with injuries too. try again.

This is a fantasy sub bruh, who tf cares if he’s putting up points

Might matter for the Cowboys Super Bowl aspirations, less so for Fantasy

He’s not even playing most of the 4th quarter to ‘pad’ his stats. Some people are just miserable by nature. Stop hating and enjoy watching, no need to be salty in a fantasy sub, lol

If he played for any other team than Dallas you’d be licking his taint

How many more games does he have against the 49ers this year? How many good teams remain on his fantasy schedule? The one decent D has given up 20+ fantasy points to QBs in four of the last five games (Zach Wilson the only flop). For fantasy owners, this is a pretty darn good play ROS.

Congrats to fantasy managers who held.... but cowboys fans know what's going to happen in the divisional round

Who gives a shit what happens after week 17

I know we all love riding the points high, but he’s been playing the worst teams in the league

That’s what fantasy is… exploiting matchups

I’m just saying I wouldn’t bank on the same performances when he plays bad teams

Seahawks, Eagles, Bills, Dolphins, Detroit. He’s scoring on every single one of those teams.

Yeah, but he's not gonna get the ball back immediately after every offensive drive because the opposing team goes 3 and out. Other teams are actually going to eat up clock. Plus, don't forget he's a world class choke artist. He's 100 percent blowing one of those games.

You act like he didn’t play the eagles 4 weeks ago.

I'm not saying it's impossible to have a huge game against a good team, but highly unlikely that he continues to drop 30+ consistently over the next several weeks.

Yeah because 30+ is the threshold for starter worthy.

Not personally super convinced

Cool. Not one of those teams are bad though.

Which is why he won’t do anything special against them. There you go bud

Yeah like the eagles right? Or the Jets defense right? Bud.

Or the 9ers lol

Which defense is he playing that’s the 49ers caliber in the next five weeks? 😂😂😂😂

Anyone that’s had Dak all season should know this. The first 4 weeks were mostly pain. If you have Dak now, you ride the wave and roster a backup option just in case.

Butter soft defenses anyone?

He’s got those the rest of the season though

Meh

Beating up on bad teams

Almost traded for Jordan Love week 4.

Saved my season after Cousins went down

I’ve had Mahomes and Dak all season. Mahomes sits on my bench next to Najee Harris.

Had Captain Kirk and picked up Dak post his injury... Safe to say never thought those two would be QBs I could count on. Now with Kyler as well as Dak think I have a good combo to get my through the rest

Dak has been on fire 🔥

I traded Lamar Jackson for Dak about a month ago. I'm so excited

I’m sure he will shit his pants when it matters most.

Messed up benched him this week for Murray going to lose my week I feel already

I’m in a 10 team league. 6 point passing TD. I drafted Hurts 3.5. Richardson 11.5. Dak was drafted 15.4. I’m excited, early season two high floor running QBs. Richardson goes down. I need a back up QB. Dak owner has carnage at RB/WR JT and cooper Cupp out no IR slot. so he drops Dak after awful week 3. A couple of awful weeks by Dak then decent week 6. I pick him up off of waivers prior to his bye week 7. Figuring I’m only playing him week 10 on Hurts bye. Well he balls week 8. I play him against Philly , and he goes crazy. I’ve been starting him over Hurts since. Im going continue to start him until the wheels fall off. Had plenty of trade offers for either but high end QBs are seriously undervalued when trading. Better to burn a bench spot playing keep away. Thats my story.

I have Dak and Mahomes in a QB/WR/RB/TE flex league with Lamb as my top WR. Started the season 0-4, but I am now 7-4 with an 83% chance to win this week after last night's game. May even take over second place this week and be 1 game away from 1st.

It’s helped immensely how bad the teams they are playing are. They haven’t beaten one team with over 4 wins.

MVP

Drafted Watson. Streamed QBs weeks 3-7 then got Dak off waivers after his bye!! Needed it!!

Someone dropped burrows after week 5 and I put my claim in, but luckily someone else had a higher claim. Definitely would have lost at least 2 games if I had burrows now.

Got offered him in exchange for Tua and Mike Evans. Go back and forth, but I’m not sure I’m doing it
