Everything you need to know about quarterback in Week 7
By Heath Cummings Oct 20, 2022 at 12:11 pm ET • 1 min read USATSI Dak Prescott is expected to make a Week 7 return from a brutal hand injury after five weeks of healing. His landing spot couldn't be much softer, with a matchup against a Detroit Lions defense that has allowed the third-most points and second-most yards per game in the NFL. Prescott has been a top seven Fantasy quarterback per-game each of the past three seasons, so with this matchup and the superstars we have on bye, he's an easy choice as a top-10 QB this week.Week 7 Previews: RB WR TE The guy one spot behind Prescott in the rankings might be a bit surprising, but I'm every bit as comfortable with Tua Tagovailoa in his first game back. While it is true he's only had one good Fantasy game this season, those other games came against the Patriots and Bills. And he was really good against the Patriots but just didn't get the second touchdown. And against the Bills he turned 18 pass attempts into 186 yards and a touchdown. In other words, he was awesome on the few pass attempts he had, but his team just rarely had the ball. The Dolphins have one of the best pass-catching duos in the league and he's facing a Steelers defense that has surrendered the seventh-most Fantasy points to quarterbacks despite facing Mac Jones, Jacoby Brissett, and Zach Wilson over a three-week stretch. Like Prescott, Tagovailoa is a must-start QB this week. Let's get to the rest of the preview:CBS Sports HQ Newsletter

16.7 Jones produced two touchdowns for the third time this season on Sunday and should see increased involvement from Wan'Dale Robinson, who looks like his most talented receiver. Throw in the possibility of 50 rushing yards, and Jones isn't a terrible desperation stream. But I wouldn't start him over Russell Wilson.

0 We are really reaching now, but Heinicke has more rushing upside than Wentz and the same weapons/game script that made Wentz a borderline top-12 quarterback earlier this year. One To Stash (QB Preview) Kenny Pickett QB PIT Pittsburgh • #8Age: 24 • Experience: Rookie

28.7 Week 6 ended in embarrassing fashion for Jackson, with him turning the ball over twice in the waning minutes, essentially handing the game to the Giants. Superstars generally bounce back from those moments in a big way, and the Browns haven't had much success stopping anyone this year. Jackson should also get Rashod Bateman back, which won't hurt anything. Contrarian DFS Play Projections powered by Sportsline Geno Smith QB SEA Seattle • #7Age: 32 • Experience: 10 yrs.
