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.

Taylor Heinicke News
Friday, May 8, 5:24 AM
Veteran quarterback Taylor Heinicke announced his retirement on Thursday through a post on his Instagram page. The 2015 undrafted free agent out of Old Dominion played 11 professional seasons and spent time with eight different teams, including the St. Louis Battlehawks of the XFL. He ends his NFL career with 6,663 passing yards, 42 total touchdowns, and 28 interceptions. Heinicke's last on-field action came in 2024 with the Chargers, while his last start came with the Falcons in 2023. The pinnacle of his career was undoubtedly his 2021 season with Washington, in which he threw for 3,419 yards and 20 touchdowns, good enough for a QB19 fantasy finish.
