Dak Prescott Will Play in Week 18

Dallas Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer said that quarterback Dak Prescott will play on Sunday in the Week 18 regular-season finale versus the division-rival New York Giants, according to Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. Neither the Cowboys nor the Giants has anything to play for in the final game of the 2025 season, but Dallas will run out their starters to close things out. The 32-year-old Prescott is having one of the finest seasons of his career, as he heads into Week 18 with 4,482 passing yards, 30 touchdowns, and 10 interceptions on the year. He has added 178 rushing yards and two rushing TDs. Since the team's Week 10 bye, Prescott is averaging 300 passing yards with 13 touchdowns and only four interceptions. He is the QB4 in overall fantasy points and should be considered a must-start for anyone still playing for something in Week 18.

Dak Prescott a Must Start Option Against Commanders on Christmas

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott had another outstanding performance last week against a strong Chargers defense despite the loss, completing 21 of 30 passes for 244 yards (8.1 Y/A) with two touchdowns. Prescott remains one of the best fantasy quarterbacks in a high-volume passing offense with two elite wide receivers in CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens. The 32-year-old signal caller gets a beautiful matchup on Christmas Day against a horrid Washington Commanders defense, which the Cowboys scored 44 points against back in their Week 7 meeting. The Commanders have allowed the third most fantasy points per game to quarterbacks and have shown little to no resistance against the pass in recent weeks. Prescott profiles as a set-and-forget top-three QB option in Week 17.

Dak Prescott Will Play for the Cowboys on Christmas

Dallas quarterback Dak Prescott finished Week 16 on the sideline, watching backup Joe Milton III take the team's final offensive snaps in what became a blowout loss to the Chargers, but according to team CEO Stephen Jones, he will remain the team's starter for a Week 17 divisional matchup with the Commanders. Prescott and the Cowboys' offense started hot on Sunday, finishing each of their first three drives with points, but stalled out after that, with their most successful drive of the second half being the six-play opener that resulted in 21 yards and a punt. The Commanders provide what is, on paper, a dream fantasy matchup for Prescott and the rest of Dallas' weapons. Still, with the Cowboys now eliminated from playoff contention, there is an air of uncertainty surrounding many of the studs that likely had a part in punching many a ticket to the fantasy championship.

Dak Prescott a Strong Play Despite a Tough Matchup

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott is coming off back-to-back fantasy finishes outside the top 12 at the position, and in Week 16, he faces a Chargers defense that has been the third-toughest matchup for opposing quarterbacks. While the deck may seem stacked against him, Prescott remains a strong play for the fantasy semifinals. Both CeeDee Lamb (illness) and Javonte Williams (neck) were able to log full participation at Friday's practice after beginning the week limited, giving Prescott his full complement of offensive weapons for a game with the second-highest over/under of the week. Notwithstanding his recent mini-slump, in which he's thrown only one touchdown over the past two weeks, Prescott is still averaging 336 passing yards per game across his last four outings, despite facing three of the league's five best passing defenses in that span. He is RotoBaller's QB4 for the week.

Dak Prescott Expected to Start for the Rest of the Season

Dallas Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer said that he plans to play quarterback Dak Prescott when asked if he would want to see backup quarterback Joe Milton III play if the Cowboys are eliminated from playoff contention. "I want to win, so the plan would be to play Dak," Schottenheimer said. It's not a surprising development to hear that Prescott will remain the starter for the final three games of the regular season, even with Dallas' playoff odds at less than 1%. The 32-year-old has put together one of the best seasons of his career, completing 68.4% of his passes for a league-leading 3,931 yards, 26 touchdowns, and 10 interceptions while adding 45 carries for 140 yards and two more scores on the ground. He remains a top-five QB option in fantasy for the Week 16 matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers.

Dak Prescott is a Must-Start QB1 Despite a Tough Matchup

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott is a must-start QB1 in all formats despite facing a tougher Minnesota Vikings defense. The Vikings enter Week 15, allowing the second-fewest PPR points to opposing QBs. However, Prescott has been a high-end option at the position all season and figures to carry a high ceiling with his top wideout, CeeDee Lamb, passing concussion protocol. Last week, Prescott totaled over 300 passing yards for the third-straight game. In their tough loss to the Lions on Thursday evening, Prescott went 31-for-47 with 376 yards and one score. Since his Week 10 bye, Prescott has averaged an elite 27.4 PPR points per game and totaled 10 total TDs with 329.5 passing yards per game. With two elite wide receivers at his disposal, Prescott carries a very safe floor with an elite ceiling if that game becomes a shootout. Given the high implied point total (O/U 48.5), fantasy managers should feel confident locking the Mississippi State product in their lineup in the opening week of the fantasy playoffs.

Dak Prescott Picked Off Twice in Loss on Thursday Night Football

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott completed 31 of his 47 pass attempts for 376 yards, one touchdown, and two interceptions during Thursday's Week 14 loss against the Detroit Lions. He also rushed for 14 yards and took five sacks. The veteran quarterback may have salvaged his fantasy performance with the touchdown and high yardage total, but he also played a major role in Dallas' defeat, as he had two turnovers and the Cowboys lost by two possessions. This was his third different two-interception game of the season, and he has now been picked off four times over his last three games. He'll look to clean things up ahead of Week 15 against the Minnesota Vikings, who have allowed the eighth-fewest fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks in 2025.

Dak Prescott Profiles as Elite Option Thursday Night Against Detroit

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott is playing at an MVP level this season and has been one of the top quarterbacks in fantasy football. During the Cowboys' current three-game win streak, Prescott leads the league with eight passing touchdowns and is second with 942 passing yards. He ranks as the QB1 with 24.7 fantasy points per game during that time as well, and Josh Allen is the only other QB above 22 points per game. The 32-year-old signal-caller has arguably the best wide receiver duo in football in George Pickens and CeeDee Lamb, which has helped fuel his big season. Prescott profiles as a top-three option in Week 14 against the Detroit Lions in a game with the highest projected point total of the week. The Lions have played man coverage at a league-high 42.8% clip this season, which Prescott has feasted against with the third-most passing yards (916) in the league, per Fantasy Points Data. He ranks as RotoBaller's QB2 for Week 14.

Dak Prescott Totals Three Touchdowns in Comeback Win on Sunday

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott completed 23 of 36 pass attempts for 354 passing yards, two passing touchdowns, and one interception during Sunday's Week 12 win over the Philadelphia Eagles. He also had nine rushing yards and one rushing touchdown. The Cowboys were held scoreless until the final seconds of the first half, when Dallas finally started to chip into its 21-0 deficit. From there, Prescott led three touchdown drives and ultimately got the Cowboys in position to kick a game-winning field goal in overtime. The 32-year-old has seven total touchdowns over his last two games and ranks as the overall QB5 in fantasy scoring so far. He should continue to be started in all leagues ahead of an intriguing showdown against the Kansas City Chiefs on Thanksgiving Day in Week 13.

Dak Prescott Facing Difficult Matchup in Crucial Week 12 Divisional Battle

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott lit up the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 11, completing 25 of 33 pass attempts for 268 yards, four touchdowns, and zero interceptions. The 32-year-old will now face a significantly tougher test in Week 12 against the division rival Philadelphia Eagles, who have held the Green Bay Packers and Detroit Lions to single-digit points in each of the last two weeks. For the season, the Eagles are tied with the Denver Broncos and Kansas City Chiefs for the fewest passing touchdowns allowed (nine). In Prescott's first matchup against Philadelphia this season in Week 1, he completed 21 of 34 pass attempts for 188 yards and failed to throw for a touchdown. Still, Prescott is in the midst of one of his better seasons, completing 69.9% of his pass attempts for 2,587 yards, 21 touchdowns, and six interceptions across 10 games. He profiles as a low-end fantasy QB1 in Week 12 against Philadelphia.

Dak Prescott Practicing in Full on Thursday

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott (hip) was a full participant on Thursday after he was limited in Wednesday's session due to a hip injury, according to Clarence Hill Jr. The Cowboys downplayed Prescott's hip injury on Wednesday, even though he was limited in the walkthrough practice. The 32-year-old veteran signal-caller should be a full-go for a divisional battle this weekend against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday. In the first meeting against Philly in Week 1 in a 24-20 loss, Prescott went 21-for-34 passing for a season-low 188 yards, no touchdowns, and no interceptions. There's no question that the Eagles have one of the better defenses in the league, so it would be a surprise if Prescott throws for four touchdowns like he did against the Raiders on Monday night. Still, he should be considered a low-end QB1 option with one of the best 1-2 punches at receiver in CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens.

Dak Prescott Lands on Injury Report Ahead of Week 12 With Hip Injury

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott (hip) has been added to the injury report ahead of the team's Week 12 matchup with the Philadelphia Eagles. Head coach Brian Schottenheimer assured reporters there was no cause for alarm, but the injury was noted. Prescott has been excellent this season, holding a 69.9% completion rate with 21 touchdowns and just six interceptions. Prescott ranks as QB9 this season. With some of his toughest matchups behind him, he appears to be a high-value target heading into the fantasy postseason.

Dak Prescott in Full Command Monday Night With Four Touchdown Passes

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott was in control all night in their 33-16 win over the Las Vegas Raiders on Monday night, completing 25 of 33 passes for 268 yards and four touchdowns. Prescott took only one sack for a loss of one yard and consistently moved the ball against a mediocre Raiders defense. It was a much-needed bounce-back performance for the 32-year-old quarterback, who had only one touchdown to three interceptions in his past two games. The four touchdowns tied his season high from Week 5 against the Jets, as Prescott connected with each of his top three targets in CeeDee Lamb, George Pickens, and Jake Ferguson for touchdowns and capped the night with a touchdown strike to Ryan Flournoy. Prescott will have a tougher matchup in Week 12 against the Philadelphia Eagles.

Dak Prescott Poised for a Rebound vs. Raiders

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott enters Week 11 looking to bounce back after a rough two-game stretch where he averaged just 11 fantasy points, easily his coldest run of the season. Even with the slump, Prescott has been one of the top quarterbacks in fantasy this year, and the underlying metrics still point to a player performing at a high level overall. This week sets up nicely for a rebound. Dallas plays the Las Vegas Raiders, a defense that gives up 214 passing yards per game and struggles to consistently pressure quarterbacks, ranking in the bottom 10 in sacks. Opposing passers have regularly outperformed expectations against this unit, which should give Prescott cleaner pockets and more chances to push the ball downfield. Coming out of the bye, the Cowboys' offense should reset and get back to its usual rhythm. Add in one of the highest implied totals of the week at 49.5, and Prescott is positioned for a strong fantasy outing with plenty of scoring opportunities on the table. He remains a confident QB1 play and is RotoBaller's 4th-ranked quarterback for Week 11.

Dak Prescott Posts 250 Yards, One Touchdown, One Pick in Loss to Cardinals

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott completed 24 of 39 pass attempts for 250 yards, one touchdown, and one interception while adding 34 yards on four carries in Monday night's 27-17 loss to the Cardinals. Prescott struggled a bit in this game, taking five sacks for a loss of 40 yards and turning it over on downs three times. The interception came at the very end of the game on a desperation heave on a 4th and 28. The 32-year-old led the offense to only 10 points, as the Cowboys scored one of their two touchdowns on a blocked punt. Prescott was able to at least salvage decent fantasy days for his top three pass catchers in CeeDee Lamb, George Pickens, and Jake Ferguson. Prescott and the Cowboys will head into their Week 10 bye on a two-game losing streak.

Dak Prescott Throws Three More Touchdown Passes in Week 7

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott played a clean game in his team's 44-22 Week 7 win over the Washington Commanders, completing 21 of 30 pass attempts for 264 yards, three touchdowns, and zero interceptions. Prescott's Cowboys are now averaging 31.7 points per game so far this season. Through seven games, Prescott has thrown for 1,881 yards and 16 touchdowns. He will face perhaps his toughest test so far this season in Week 8 when Dallas travels to Denver to take on the Broncos. Still, Prescott is playing at a high level and will be difficult for fantasy managers to go away from, even in a difficult matchup.

Dak Prescott a Must-Start Quarterback in Potential Week 7 Shootout

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott has played some of the best football of his career through the first six weeks of the season, completing 71.6% of his pass attempts for 1,617 yards, 13 touchdowns, and three interceptions. The Cowboys have been one of the highest-scoring teams in the NFL, averaging 29.7 points per game. Dallas should find itself in another shootout in a Week 7 matchup against the Washington Commanders. Through six games, Washington's defense ranks dead last in the NFL in yards per reception allowed (13.0). Additionally, Prescott and the Cowboys will welcome wideout CeeDee Lamb (ankle) back to the lineup after his three-game absence due to a high-ankle sprain. Prescott profiles as a must-start fantasy quarterback in Week 7 against Washington.

Dak Prescott Throws for Three Touchdowns in Loss to Panthers

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott completed 25 of his 34 pass attempts for 261 yards, three touchdowns, and zero interceptions during Sunday's Week 6 loss against the Carolina Panthers. The veteran quarterback had another productive game as he played turnover-free football and didn't even take a sack. He now has a whopping 11 touchdowns and zero turnovers over his last three games. Not only is he the QB1 during that span, but he is also the top-scoring fantasy quarterback through the first six weeks of the 2025 season. Fantasy managers should continue to trust Prescott in fantasy football, as he has shown that he and the Cowboys' offense will rack up yardage regardless of their matchup. Dallas seems to find itself in a shootout every week, which bodes well for Prescott's fantasy outlook -- and he should only improve when CeeDee Lamb (ankle) returns. Prescott is a high-end QB1 heading into Week 7 against Washington.

Dak Prescott Offers Strong QB1 Value for Week 6

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott has been on another level lately. Over the last two games, Prescott has thrown for 556 yards with seven touchdowns and zero interceptions. He's missing his top wide receiver in CeeDee Lamb (ankle), but somehow is putting together fantastic numbers without him. Now, Prescott heads into a plus-matchup against the Carolina Panthers defense in Week 6. The 32-year-old has found a way to get it done without Lamb and he figures to do it again on Sunday. Fantasy managers should consider Prescott a top tier QB1 for this weekend

Dak Prescott Working His Way Towards Must-Start Status?

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott is quietly putting together an excellent season through his first five games of 2025. The 32-year-old has completed 71.3% of his pass attempts for 1,356 yards and 10 touchdowns with just three interceptions. Prescott also leads the NFL in pass attempts, and he's piloting a Cowboys offense that is currently averaging over 30 points per game despite missing several starting offensive linemen and star wideout CeeDee Lamb (ankle) for the past two weeks. With Lamb potentially on his way back this week, Prescott's stellar play should continue. He gets a favorable matchup in Week 7 against the Carolina Panthers and profiles as a solid fantasy QB1.
