Hey, everybody.

It's Wednesday, October 19, 2020.

Welcome to the NFL fantasy football show.

It's me, your man, M.G. Marcus Grant,

joined by Michael F. Florio and the specialist, cast of dozens, to help us put this on every week.

Of course, it's week seven now, right? We're a third of the way through the season. So we're

locked and loaded. Everything that we can know, we have learned, there's nothing new to be learned.

We're just going to be smart all the way through. Nothing new ever happens after week six. Everyone knows that. Right. Everyone knows that. We're all, we're all done with learning. Now it's just about playing and putting things in action. We're going to help you put some things in action with a busy show today. We've got some heroes and villains. We'll do game previews as we normally do. But we'll also talk about some injured star players who have been out for a while and how

you're handling that on your fantasy roster. But first, let's start with some fantasy headlines.

In Dallas, Dak Prescott says he plans to play this week against the Detroit Lions. He has been

out since week one, dealing with a thumb injury. Now, Cooper Rush did a good job keeping the Cowboys afloat, but it wasn't necessarily great

for fantasy.

With Dak coming back, how much does this entire Dallas offense improve?

I think a good amount.

Like Cooper Rush played good ball for real life purposes when he was in there, but they

scored between 17 and 25 points every game with him. And last year, they were the top scoring offense with Dak Prescott. He gets paid all of that money for a reason. C.D. Lamb was still able to be held to float with Cooper Rush, but those secondary pieces all struggled. And I think Lamb will be fine with Dak, but those other guys will all get a boost as well. I talked about CD Lamb before the season being a dark horse to be the wide receiver one overall. That was with Dak Prescott being healthy. Yeah. So I think that means good things for him, but as you mentioned, I think Michael Gallup gets a boost. I think a healthy Dalton Schultz gets a boost. I also think this offense being able to push the ball downfield means some better things for the running backs, whether it's Tony Pollard or Ezekiel Elliott.

So I'm very excited about that coming back on top of it. It adds one more quarterback back

to our lives in a position that has become very, very thin over the first few weeks of the season.

Over to Washington, Taylor Heinecke is going to get the start

against the Green Bay Packers this week.
