Who Should I Start? Dak Prescott or C.J. Stroud

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.

Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud (shoulder) was throwing during mandatory minicamp on Tuesday as he continues to get over muscle tightness in his shoulder that he dealt with during voluntary organized team activities recently, according to KPRC 2 Houston's Aaron Wilson. It's not a surprise that Stroud is out there this week after head coach DeMeco Ryans said during OTAs that he wasn't really concerned with the QB's shoulder. The 23-year-old former first-rounder was the Offensive Rookie of the Year in 2023 but took a step back in 2024, throwing for 3,727 yards, 20 touchdowns and 12 interceptions while taking 52 sacks in 17 regular-season starts. A porous offensive line and knee injuries to Stefon Diggs and Tank Dell didn't help his cause as he finished as the QB18 in fantasy. Houston's offense line is going to have to be much better for Stroud to rebound in 2025.
