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.

Sam Darnold News
Thursday, June 4, 9:23 AM
Seattle Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold lacks significant dynasty upside because of his limited mobility, but the presence of superstar wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba does give his outlook a boost. Throwing the ball to the NFL's Offensive Player of the Year last season, Darnold racked up 4,048 passing yards, 25 touchdowns, and 14 interceptions, as well as six lost fumbles. He finished the year as the QB13, one year after ranking as the QB9 with the Vikings. Darnold has had the fortune of playing with elite receivers each of the last two seasons, and it has resulted in low-end QB1 or high-end QB2 results. Therefore, as long as he continues to have Smith-Njigba at his disposal, the 28-year-old ranks as a mid-to-high QB2 in fantasy football. Managers would like to see him cut down on turnovers next year, but we do expect to see his touchdown total increase slightly. Darnold currently ranks as the QB23 in RotoBaller's latest dynasty fantasy football rankings.
