Who Should I Start? Dak Prescott or Patrick Mahomes

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.

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes hit the NFL by storm early in his career with his deep-passing skills and explosive plays. However, the Chiefs' offense ranked 27th in 20-plus-yard plays in 2024. Since Tyreek Hill departed to Miami and Travis Kelce has taken a step back, its offense has not connected on splash plays as often. Heading into next season, Mahomes is aiming to incorporate big plays back into the offense. "We've had a lot of turnover in the receiving room, and it seems like the core group will be back in its entirety." Mahomes said." So the goal is to try to build on it and get even better and try to get back to some of the explosive passing plays that we've done in years past." With all-world speedster Xavier Worthy heading into Year 2 and a potential full season of Marquise Brown, the ceiling is high for Kansas City's passing attack in 2025. Mahomes has not been a fantasy football game-changer over the last two seasons, but a more dangerous offensive attack could put him back in the high-end QB1 range.
