Dak Prescott Proving He Can Still Use His Legs as Needed

Wednesday, August 26, 5:36 AM

At 33 years old, Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott is entering his 11th season, and according to team staff writer Nick Eatman, he still has the speed to make off-platform plays as needed. In the team's first local training camp practice on Tuesday night, Prescott showed off the quickness and pocket presence that have defined much of his career, twice scrambling for touchdowns while working in the red zone. While Prescott has relied less on his legs after a handful of serious injuries, last topping 250 rushing yards in 2019, his escapability and ability to keep drives alive have contributed to keeping the Cowboys' offense among the league's most potent throughout his career while making him one of the most underrated fantasy performers in recent years. When playing at least 16 games in a season, Prescott has not finished outside the top eight of the position since 2018, making him one of the safest late-round quarterbacks to target in 2026 drafts.

Josh Allen Will Not Play in Preseason Finale

Tuesday, August 25, 8:35 AM

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen will not play in the team's preseason finale on Thursday against the Pittsburgh Steelers, head coach Joe Brady told Jay Skurski of The Buffalo News. The next time we see Allen in a game will be in the Week 1 regular-season opener in Houston against the Texans on Sunday, Sept. 13. Despite finishing under 4,000 yards passing for the second straight season in 2025, Allen finished as the QB1 in fantasy scoring thanks to his elite rushing ability. The 30-year-old threw for 3,668 yards, 25 touchdowns, and 10 interceptions in 17 regular-season starts while adding a league-best 579 rushing yards and 14 rushing touchdowns. No QB was even in double digits in rushing touchdowns last year. Along with his rushing prowess, Allen could rebound in the passing department after the offseason acquisition of receiver DJ Moore. Allen has not finished lower than QB2 in fantasy since 2019 and is the consensus top fantasy QB going into 2026.
