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.

Dak Prescott Delivers Another Unblemished Four-Touchdown Game

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.

Dak Prescott Totals Four Touchdowns as Shootout Ends in Tie

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.

Dak Prescott Says Cowboys Offense has More in it

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.

Dak Prescott Delivers Two Touchdown Passes in Shootout

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.

Dak Prescott Comments on Spitting Incident with Jalen Carter

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.

Dak Prescott Opens Season With Tricky Matchup

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.

Dak Prescott Won't Play in Preseason Finale

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.

Dak Prescott Not Expecting to Play in Preseason Opener

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.

Dak Prescott, George Pickens Not on the Same Page Yet?

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.

Dak Prescott Praises Micah Parsons

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.

Cowboys to Limit Dak Prescott's Workload

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.

Dak Prescott Expects to be Full-Go for Training Camp

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.

Dak Prescott Fully Recovered from Hamstring Tear

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.

Dak Prescott To Be Limited During Voluntary Workouts

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.

Dak Prescott Doing Well In Recovery From Hamstring Injury

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.
