Dak Prescott News
Tuesday, June 16, 9:21 AM
Dallas Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer said on Tuesday that quarterback Dak Prescott (knee) will be limited at mandatory minicamp this week with a "sore knee," according to Tommy Yarrish of the team's official website. However, Schottenheimer added that it's "nothing we're concerned about." The Cowboys aren't going to push their star QB during minicamp. The 32-year-old veteran should be all systems go for the start of training camp at the end of July, but we'll be keeping a close eye on his knee anyway. Going into his 11th year in the NFL, the four-time Pro Bowler will be a low-end QB1 target for fantasy managers after throwing for 4,552 yards, 30 touchdowns, and 10 interceptions in 17 starts for the Cowboys in 2025. Prescott's lack of mobility as a rusher limits his overall fantasy ceiling, but he has one of the best one-two punches in the league at receiver in CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens to make up for it in one of the most pass-friendly offenses in the league. RotoBaller has Prescott ranked as the No. 10 fantasy QB for the 2026 season.

Patrick Mahomes News
Thursday, June 11, 4:40 PM
The Kansas City Chiefs and star quarterback Patrick Mahomes (knee) are both "leaning into this Week 1 possibility" that he'll be ready to go for the first Monday night game of the 2026 season against the division-rival Denver Broncos, according to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN. Mahomes has made great progress this offseason while recovering from surgery to fix ACL and LCL tears that he suffered on Dec. 14 last year against the Los Angeles Chargers. The 30-year-old two-time MVP has been taking part in seven-on-seven drills during offseason workouts, but the next step will be for him to be cleared for contact and to participate in 11-on-11 team drills. Running and cutting will be a focal point for Mahomes over the next weeks and months as he attempts to regain his patented mobility. Head coach Andy Reid is optimistic that Mahomes will progress in training camp next month, and Mahomes would like to get a dress rehearsal during the preseason to test his surgically-repaired knee. KC added Justin Fields as insurance at the position, but all signs are pointing to Mahomes being ready for the regular-season opener. Nobody should be doubting Mahomes at this point in his career, but fantasy managers should also be tempering expectations as he returns from a major knee injury. It's best to target Mahomes as a high-end QB2 in 2026 fantasy drafts.
