Fantasy Impact:
With Matt McGloin out with a shoulder injury, Cook will start Saturday against the Texans. In his only regular season action in 2016, the rookie signal caller completed 14-of-21 passes for 150 yards, one touchdown, and one interception last Sunday in relief of McGloin. Per ESPN's Field Yates, "since the AFL-NFL merger, there has never been a fourth-round rookie quarterback to start a playoff game," until now -- Dak Prescott and Cook were both fourth-round picks in 2016 and will both start for their respective teams in the upcoming postseason.
