Dak Prescott News
Wednesday, July 1, 6:55 PM
ESPN's Ben Solak thinks that Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott has a chance to become the 10th QB to throw for 5,000 yards in a season in 2026. The feat has been accomplished 14 different times by nine different signal-callers -- Peyton Manning, Drew Brees, Tom Brady, Patrick Mahomes, Ben Roethlisberger, Dan Marino, Matthew Stafford, Justin Herbert, and Jameis Winston. Mahomes was the most recent to do it in 2022. Prescott averaged 306.4 yards per game in 2019 and came just 100 yards shy of the 5,000-yard mark in 16 games. Dallas' offense played fast that year under offensive coordinator Kellen Moore, and they were an up-tempo offense last year under head coach Brian Schottenheimer, too. Prescott had a career-high 600 pass attempts in 2025, and the volume should once again be there in 2026 with not much changed about the offense under Schottenheimer. In addition to volume in the passing game, Prescott has one of the best one-two punches in the league at WR in CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens. Prescott lacks rushing upside, but his passing volume alone in an explosive offense makes him a low-end QB1 target in fantasy.

Lamar Jackson News
Tuesday, June 23, 10:08 AM
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson and other offensive players seem to be fans of new offensive coordinator Declan Doyle, who will be calling plays for the first time in his career under new head coach Jesse Minter in 2025. "It's a different system than what I'm accustomed to being in, and I feel like there's going to be a lot of explosiveness this year," Jackson said. "The way [offensive coordinator] Declan [Doyle] calls plays and his creativity with his mind -- how detailed he is -- it's mind-blowing. I'm excited." The two-time MVP QB will be looking to bounce back from a disappointing and injury-plagued 2025 season in which he threw for only 2,549 yards, 21 touchdowns, and seven interceptions in 13 starts. Defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver called Doyle "a human computer." With Jackson lined up more under center under Doyle, he'll be an obvious bounce-back candidate in 2026 if he can avoid the nagging injuries that dogged him last year. Despite a down year in 2025, Jackson isn't going to come at much of a discount as an obvious top-five fantasy QB because of his elite dual-threat abilities at the position.
