Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott hopes to have left tackle Tyron Smith in the lineup Sunday. Smith’s status is in doubt because of a knee injury from Sunday. Prescott has struggled with Smith out of the lineup. He had a tough time versus the Oakland Raiders in Week 15, completing 18 passes in 27 attempts for 212 yards and two interceptions. He also rushed six times for 32 yards and a touchdown in the contest. Prescott has thrown seven interceptions to just five touchdowns in the Cowboys’ last five games.
Fantasy football start/sit Week 16: What to do with Dak Prescott
Prescott looks to rebound against a banged-up defense. We look at the fantasy impact.

Sunday Prescott will face an injury-plagued Seahawks defense. The Seahawks have a laundry list of starters missing throughout the unit. Despite the injuries, they held Los Angeles Rams QB Jared Goff to 120 yards in Week 15.
Fantasy impact: The Cowboys’ offense will look very different Sunday because Ezekiel Elliott will be back in the lineup. Unfortunately for Prescott, his woes may continue if Smith is on the sideline. The Seahawks are not the powerhouse defense they once were, but the Cowboys’ O-line typically struggles with Smith on the sideline. The passing game will likely take a back seat to the run most of this contest anyway. Prescott is not the QB you want.
