Back Ups Defensively Must Step Up:…

Quarterbacks Quarterback is affordable, making it easy to pay up at other positions. Dak Prescott- Great matchup against a banged up Redskins defense. Russel Wilson- Seahawks can’t run the football, that means it’s all Russ. Plus, he historically plays better at home. Favorite play of the week. Andy…
