Dak Prescott News
Sunday, May 3, 11:10 AM
After a hamstring injury limited him to just eight games in 2024, Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott bounced back in a big way in 2025. Across 17 games, Prescott completed 67.3% of his pass attempts for 4,552 yards, 30 touchdowns, and 10 interceptions. The veteran signal-caller led the NFL in completions (404) and finished as the overall fantasy QB6. Heading into 2026, Dallas maintains one of the best wide receiver duos in the NFL in CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens, with tight end Jake Ferguson and wideout Ryan Flournoy rounding out a deep group of pass-catchers. The Cowboys also have continuity along an offensive line that showed major improvement from 2024 to 2025. With plenty of question marks on the defensive side of the ball, Dallas will likely need Prescott and the offense to keep the pedal to the metal once again in 2026. In dynasty formats, Prescott remains a viable fantasy QB1 as he enters his age-33 season.

Patrick Mahomes News
Thursday, May 28, 11:06 AM
Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes (knee) is being limited to 7-on-7 work during OTA practices this week, according to Pete Sweeney of The Kansas City Star. The fact that Mahomes is even participating at all in voluntary workouts at the end of May is a positive for the Chiefs after he tore his ACL and LCL in Week 15 against the Los Angeles Chargers last year. The 30-year-old superstar is making great progress, and if he continues at this rate, he'll have an excellent chance to play in the Week 1 2026 regular-season opener on Monday Night Football against the division-rival Denver Broncos. The six-time Pro Bowler and two-time MVP has finished as the QB11 in fantasy football in each of the last two years, and there's a chance his top receiver, Rashee Rice (knee), is suspended once again to begin the upcoming season. While we can't put anything past Mahomeboy after his stellar nine-year career so far, he's been trending down in fantasy the last two years and is now coming off major knee surgery. RotoBaller has him viewed as more of a low-end QB1/high-end QB2 target in fantasy drafts later this year.
