Should I start Dak Prescott or Kendrick Bourne in Week 7?

Updated Oct 21, 1:46 AM ET.

Start Dak Prescott: 100 percent of the snaps and 0 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Kendrick Bourne's 56 percent of the snaps and 14 percent of the targets. No market projection is posted on either of them this week, so this is a usage call, and a lower confidence one than a call made on a projection. What follows is what each of them has done.

Should I drop Kendrick Bourne for Dak Prescott?

Yes, on the rest of the season. Dak Prescott projects 182 market-implied PPR points from Week 7 through Week 17 (18.2 a game over 10 games), Kendrick Bourne 80 (8.0 a game over 10 games).

The gap

  • Board size303 draftable players

Draft data is not current for these two, so the figures that depend on it are left out. The call above comes from each player's usage.

Where the draft room stands

Live drafts hold no current pick on Dak Prescott, and the board ranks him 58th overall on the rest of his evidence.

Live drafts hold no current pick on Kendrick Bourne, and the board ranks him 59th overall on the rest of his evidence.

The market-based projections

The market-based projection for Dak Prescott is 19.2 PPR points a game off 3 markets across 11 market sources. That is 70 percent of what a quarterback's projection needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.

Kendrick Bourne's market-based projection is 8.8 PPR points a game, built from 3 markets across 5 market sources. That is the 73rd highest figure of the 198 players with a market-based projection.

Dak Prescott's projection is not complete, so the two figures are not set against each other here.

Side by side

In 2025 Dak Prescott scored 19.0 PPR points a game and Kendrick Bourne 5.8, 13.3 a game between them.

Dak Prescott finished QB6 and Kendrick Bourne WR68, which are two different ladders.

Dak Prescott is a quarterback and Kendrick Bourne a wide receiver, so the question is which slot you fill first rather than which of them is better.

Byes and availability

Both are off in Week 14, so a roster holding the pair has that one week to cover twice.

What would change the answer

Dak Prescott has only a partial projection, so the market half of this page is whole for only one of them.
