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.

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott completed 18 of 29 pass attempts for 237 yards, four touchdowns, and zero interceptions during Sunday's Week 5 win over the New York Jets. He also rushed for 28 yards and only took one sack. After stringing together some modest performances near the start of the season, Prescott has come on exceptionally strong lately, racking up eight touchdowns and zero turnovers in his last two contests. He has been able to play at a top-tier level despite being without his top receiver, CeeDee Lamb (ankle). The 32-year-old remains a strong mid-range QB1 option heading into next week's clash with the Carolina Panthers.

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott completed 31 of 40 passes for 319 yards, three touchdowns, and zero interceptions during Sunday's Week 4 tie with the Green Bay Packers. He also took one sack and added a two-yard rushing touchdown. The veteran took to the national stage and put together his best game of the season. Even with CeeDee Lamb (ankle) sidelined, Prescott was able to distribute the ball to the rest of his receivers, move the offense down the field, and play clean, turnover-free football. He now ranks seventh among quarterbacks in terms of fantasy scoring this season, keeping him in the top-12 conversation for Week 5 against the New York Jets.

When discussing the Dallas Cowboys' offense with the media on Thursday, quarterback Dak Prescott made it clear that he thinks they can do more. "There's meat left on the bone. There's a lot of plays out there that we can make. And when you're hungry like all of us are, you want to make every play. I'm not gonna put any limitations on (the offense). We can be very explosive. It's gonna be a fun offense to play in, if we just continue to be multiple, as we continue to marry the run game with the pass game, get those actions going even more. Yeah, it can be scary," Prescott said. Through two games, Prescott checks in as the QB21 in fantasy with 549 passing yards, two touchdowns, and an interception on 86 pass attempts. His 361-yard performance in the Week 2 overtime win over the Giants was his highest yardage total since Week 3 of 2024. A second straight big performance could be coming for Prescott against a banged-up Bears defense that just gave up 50-plus points to the Lions.

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott completed 38 of 52 pass attempts for 361 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception during Sunday's Week 2 win over the New York Giants in overtime. He also took three sacks and rushed for 17 yards. The veteran signal caller certainly bounced back after a disappointing season opener, and it was intriguing to see him spread the ball around to a variety of pass catchers. CeeDee Lamb, Jake Ferguson, and George Pickens all had at least nine targets apiece while combining for 258 yards and one touchdown as a group. Prescott will be a fringe top-12 fantasy quarterback heading into next week's favorable matchup against the Chicago Bears, who just surrendered five passing touchdowns to Jared Goff.

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott gave some clarification on the "spitting incident" that happened during Thursday's season opener against the Philadelphia Eagles. Both Prescott and Jalen Carter got into an altercation due to one of them spitting on the other. After the dust settled, Carter was ejected from the game in the first quarter. After the game, Prescott said he didn't intend to bait Carter or spit in his direction. It sounds like a misunderstanding, but one that certainly hurt the Eagles defense. It's unclear at the moment if Carter will face any other displicine from the league.

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott is making his big return from injury this Thursday against the Philadelphia Eagles. The veteran signal-caller missed nine games last year, but he's now healthy and possesses significant fantasy upside. Most of the excitement around Prescott stems from concerns about the Cowboys' defense and running back room. If Dallas' defense struggles as much as expected, the offense will need to play catch-up and score a lot of points. However, without much star power in the backfield, most of Dallas' offensive attack will need to come through the air. Prescott could easily be asked to throw the football 600 times this year, and his career 66.8 percent completion rate, 5.1 percent touchdown rate, and 2.0 percent interception rate are all very appealing. This week, he faces off against a very strong Eagles defense. This unit allowed the fifth-fewest fantasy points to quarterbacks last year, and they only got slightly worse during the offseason. As 8.5-point underdogs, Prescott and the Cowboys could have some solid garbage-time stats, but it seems somewhat unlikely the quarterback lights the world on fire against a very tough opponent. Fantasy managers should feel comfortable with Prescott's floor, but refrain from expressing much optimism about his ceiling. He's merely a low-end QB1 this week.

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott will not play in the team's preseason finale on Friday against the Atlanta Falcons, according to Jon Machota of The Athletic. The Cowboys want to see more from backup Joe Milton III. Prescott will end up sitting for the entire preseason after playing in only eight games a year ago due to a torn hamstring. The 32-year-old veteran is fully healthy now after having surgery, but the Cowboys want to keep him on ice until the Week 1 regular-season opener on Sept. 4 against the division-rival and reigning Super Bowl-champion Philadelphia Eagles. Prescott enters the 2025 campaign as one of the better picks at the position for a bounce-back season if he can stay healthy after the Cowboys gave him another aerial weapon in receiver George Pickens. He is on the QB1/2 borderline for fantasy purposes.
Aug 18, 2025 6:32 PM EST
Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott said that he doesn't think he will be playing in the team's preseason opener on Saturday against the Los Angeles Rams, according to The Dallas Morning News' Joseph Hoyt. Prescott is fully recovered from the torn hamstring that limited him to only eight games last year, but the Cowboys are taking it slow with him this summer and will hold him out of the first preseason contest this weekend. Before getting hurt last year, the 32-year-old veteran signal-caller completed 64.7% of his 185 pass attempts for 1,978 yards, 11 touchdowns and eight interceptions in what was a terrible year for Dallas all around. Prescott finished as the QB3 in fantasy in 2023, though, so a bounce-back should be in store if he can stay healthy, especially since he now has receiver George Pickens to throw to. Fantasy managers should target Prescott as a high-end QB2 in fantasy drafts.
Aug 7, 2025 5:52 PM EST
The Athletic's Jon Machota writes that Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott and new wide receiver George Pickens "still have some work to together." Although Prescott doesn't have any concerns, his timing has been off with Pickens on some routes, and most of their connections have been on short and intermediate routes early on in training camp. "For him, it's just about continuing to master the offense, the routes and the adjustments on certain routes. When he does that, the rest of it is going to come," Prescott said. It's something to keep track of as camp progresses, but right now, fantasy managers shouldn't be too concerned as Prescott and Pickens work on their chemistry. CeeDee Lamb will take plenty of targets away from the 24-year-old, but if he can excel deep down the field, Pickens will have plenty of value in fantasy as a WR3/flex in his new home in Dallas.

In the midst of Dallas Cowboys All-Pro pass-rusher Micah Parsons' ongoing contract-extension talks with the team, quarterback Dak Prescott praised Parsons with how he's been handling the situation while still working out with the team at training camp. "He's a great teammate, showing up, obviously not just on the field and being focused, but whether it be in the camaraderie, hanging out, dinner. He's not just doing it to sign off and say, 'Hey, Jerry, look at me.' He wants to be out there practicing. And honestly, I'm glad he's not. He can't do that to himself. That's the business of it. That's the business of a holdout, so I do think he's taken some great steps with being here," Prescott said. The signal-caller also said he thinks Parsons deserves to be paid, which he surely will, most likely before the start of the 2025 season. Parsons is expected to become the highest-paid non-QB when he eventually agrees to a new deal with Dallas.

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott (hamstring) had his 2024 season cut short due to a season-ending hamstring injury that limited him to just eight games. While Prescott is fully expected to be ready for the start of the 2025 season this fall, the Cowboys' plan is to limit his workload when possible at training camp, which will mean more opportunities for second-year QB Joe Milton III, according to The Athletic's Jon Machota. "Now that he's in the over-30 club, we're going to be smart with some of the things we do with him," head coach Brian Schottenheimer said. "He is anti-that. He wants to do as much as possible. Luckily we have the trump card with him on that." The 31-year-old is fully healthy this summer and should be 100% for the Week 1 clash against the Super Bowl champion Eagles. Going into his 10th NFL season, Prescott is ranked as the QB14 at RotoBaller.
Jul 22, 2025 3:07 PM EST
Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott (hamstring) said he will be full-go in training camp, pending a final check-in with team doctors following a significant hamstring injury that cost him nine missed games in 2024. The veteran, entering his 10th NFL season, participated in all drills this offseason and should be more than ready to go by Week 1 of the 2025 campaign. Dallas added former Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver George Pickens this offseason, and Prescott is confident the two will get on the same page quickly. While Prescott's injury concerns are noteworthy, the 31-year-old could be undervalued at his mid-level QB2 average draft position. Dallas is likely to have another weak rushing attack in 2025, and Prescott should have several spike weeks due to the presence of Pickens and All-Pro wideout CeeDee Lamb.

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott (hamstring) will take most of the team's first-team reps at OTAs after healing up from a torn hamstring, according to head coach Brian Schottenheimer. Prescott missed the final nine games of the 2024 season due to the lower-body ailment but looks to be firmly on track to be 100% healthy to start the 2025 season. The former fourth-round pick out of Mississippi State is entering his 10th NFL campaign with Dallas and has thrown for 31,437 yards, 213 touchdowns, and 82 interceptions in 122 career contests. While Prescott is not the same runner as he was early in his career, he's still mobile and has a solid group of weapons to work with in CeeDee Lamb, George Pickens, and Jake Ferguson. At his QB13 ADP, he is a tremendous second QB in superflex formats, and he could be a viable single-QB fantasy option in the right matchups.
May 20, 2025 2:13 PM EST
Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott (hamstring), who is recovering from a torn right hamstring suffered last year, said that he would be in attendance for the team's voluntary workouts this week but will be limited. Prescott said last Friday that his surgically repaired hamstring has been improving and that he thought he could play in games right now if he had to. The 31-year-old played in just eight games in 2024 and had surgery on his hamstring in November. The fact that he's even participating in voluntary workouts is a good sign. Barring a setback this summer, Prescott should be ready to rock as a low-end QB1 option for fantasy managers for Week 1 this fall. The three-time Pro Bowler had a career year in 2023 but had 1,978 passing yards, 11 touchdowns and eight interceptions at the time of his injury last year.
Apr 15, 2025 1:14 PM EST
Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott (hamstring) said he is progressing in his recovery from a season-ending torn right hamstring last year that required surgery. "If I had to play a game today, I definitely could do that," Prescott said. "It's about moving forward healthy to make sure I can play 17 times, 20 [games] -- whatever we get to when the time's right." Prescott ended up playing in only eight games in 2024 after signing a four-year, $240 million contract extension last September that made him the highest-paid QB in NFL history in terms of annual average value. Before the injury, the 31-year-old had only 11 touchdowns and eight interceptions, making him a big disappointment in fantasy leagues as a QB1. However, the three-time Pro Bowler will be looking to bounce back in 2025 and is planning to take part in organized team activities when they start next month.
Apr 12, 2025 11:50 PM EST
Dallas Cowboys co-owner Stephen Jones notes that quarterback Dak Prescott (hamstring) is "doing great" after hamstring surgery. ESPN's Todd Archer reported the news. "He's very thrilled with where he is, and I know the trainers are too," said Jones. "I feel like he's doing a hell of a job." While this is good news, Jones also reports that the 31-year-old will have "some limitations" in the offseason training program. Prescott will be looking to bounce back in 2025. Aside from the nine games he missed with injury, the Louisiana native wasn't at the top of his game when he was healthy, producing an 11:8 TD:INT ratio and 247.25 yards per game across eight outings. It appears he's on the right track regarding his injury, but Prescott will have other factors working against his rebound, such as a new head coach in Brian Schottenheimer.
Mar 30, 2025 3:50 PM EST
The Dallas Cowboys restructured quarterback Dak Prescott's contract on Wednesday that will open up $36.6 million in salary cap space in 2025, and it comes just one day after the team restructured star wide receiver CeeDee Lamb's contract. After the restructures for both Prescott and Lamb, the Cowboys have freed up $56.6 million in cap space in advance of a likely big-time contract extension for star pass-rusher Micah Parsons this offseason. It remains to be seen how aggressive the Cowboys, who did next to nothing in free agency a year ago, will get in free agency in 2025. The 31-year-old Prescott had a career year in 2023 before playing in just eight games last year due to a season-ending torn hamstring that required surgery in November. Prescott is on track in his recovery and should be ready for the start of the 2025 regular season, where he'll be more of a low-end QB1 asset in fantasy.
Mar 5, 2025 3:25 PM EST
Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott (hamstring) said on Wednesday that his "health is good" and that he's "looking to amp it up here recently" in his rehab from a season-ending torn right hamstring that he suffered on Nov. 3. Prescott still has plenty of rehab left to do, but signs are encouraging that he could be ready to take part in Dallas' offseason workouts if everything continues to trend in a positive direction. It was a disappointing season all around for the Cowboys in 2024, but things went from bad to worse after Prescott's injury. The 31-year-old three-time Pro Bowler was underwhelming in his eight starts before getting hurt after a career year in 2023 in which he threw for 4,516 yards and a league-high 36 touchdowns. Prescott threw for 1,978 yards, 11 TDs and eight picks in 2024 and will see his fantasy stock drop heading into 2025 while coming off a major injury with new head coach Brian Schottenheimer now calling offensive plays.
Feb 12, 2025 10:02 PM EST
Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott said that he fully endorses owner Jerry Jones' decision to hire former offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer as the team's next head coach. "I mean, Shotty means a lot to me. He's been a consistent man, and I think that's a part of why he's gotten this job in his time being here. I got four years left on my contract. He's tied directly to my future, so let's go be the best that we can in these four years," Prescott said. Although the move to hire Schottenheimer, who has never been a head coach in the NFL, wasn't a splashy one, it gives Prescott and the Dallas offense continuity. Schottenheimer didn't call offensive plays the last two years, but he was the offensive coordinator and knows Prescott well. Although Schottenheimer won't necessarily be great for Prescott, it's worth noting that he led the NFL with 36 TD passes in 2023, the first year that Schottenheimer became Dallas' OC.
