Week 6 Wrap: David Montgomery, Jared Goff fuel Lions’ fantasy party against Cowboys

Detroit Lions @ Dallas Cowboys

Detroit’s offense looked unstoppable against an injured and overmatched Dallas defense, while Dak Prescott had one of the worst games of his career. Prescott entered 5-0 with his highest career Passer Rating versus the Lions, but he finished as this week’s lowest fantasy-scoring QB and with a completion percentage over expectation (-11.9) in the 10th percentile.

Prescott dealt with a ton of pressure, but he was fortunate an opening-drive interception was called back and that his fourth-quarter pick wasn’t returned for a score. Prescott has historically performed far better at home, but he got just 5.4 YPA against a pass-funnel Detroit defense and is now 0-3 in Dallas this season. Prescott was the QB5 in expert consensus ranks this week, but he watched Cooper Rush play the final 13 minutes.

The Cowboys’ rushing attack was predictably shut down, with Ezekiel Elliott seeing three more carries than Rico Dowdle. Jalen Tolbert dropped a pass deep downfield in the sun in the third quarter, while Jake Ferguson disappointed fantasy managers. CeeDee Lamb made a nice one-handed grab, but Prescott’s struggles continued to hurt him. At least Lamb saw a season-high 14 targets.

Jared Goff continues to be incredibly efficient, and he’s now getting 14.1 YPA over his last two games. David Montgomery had two rushing scores, but Detroit spread its limited targets. Trickery helped Sam LaPorta score his first touchdown of the season during his lone target of the day. Jameson Williams has seen his first-read target rate drop since the first two games, but he made the most of his four looks Sunday. The only blemish was a serious injury to Aidan Hutchinson, but Detroit was highly impressive in the blowout.

• The Lions have scored 40 points in back-to-back games for the first time since 1962.

• Brandon Aubrey has made a 50+ yard field goal an NFL-record eight straight games.
