Who Should I Start? Dak Prescott or Josh Allen

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott had one of the best seasons of his career in 2025, and he should remain a top fantasy option for 2026. Prescott finished the year with a 67.3% completion rate, 4,552 passing yards, 32 total touchdowns, and 10 interceptions. He also rushed for 177 yards. He finished the year as the overall QB6 in fantasy football and has now ranked as a top-six quarterback in his last two healthy seasons (excluding 2024, when he missed nine games). Prescott was able to perform at an elite level largely due to the supporting cast around him. Dallas had one of the top receiver rooms in the NFL with CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens, while tight end Jake Ferguson also played at a very high level. Pickens and running back Javonte Williams are both slated for free agency, but it sounds like Dallas plans to bring back Pickens, even if that means using the franchise tag on him. If Prescott can get all three of his top targets back in 2026, he'll compete to be a top-five quarterback in fantasy football.

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen (foot) recently underwent foot surgery to repair a broken bone in his right foot. Despite suffering the injury in Week 16, Allen finished the 2025 season without missing a game and is expected to recover long before the start of 2026. The 29-year-old posted another excellent campaign in 2025, completing a career-high 69.3% of his pass attempts for 3,668 yards, 25 touchdowns, and 10 interceptions. Allen also remains one of the NFL's best rushing quarterbacks, as he logged 579 yards and 14 touchdowns with his legs, his third straight season with at least 500 rushing yards and 12 rushing scores. Provided he can make a full recovery from his current foot injury, there's little reason to think Allen will slow down heading into his age-30 season in 2026. The Bills also appear likely to prioritize adding pass-catching help around Allen over the offseason after the team's wide receiver corps underperformed throughout this most recent year. Allen remains an elite fantasy quarterback option in both redraft and dynasty formats heading into 2026.
