Cam Ward vs Dak Prescott: Who Should You Start?
There is a real production gap between these two quarterbacks. Dak Prescott (Dallas Cowboys) averaged 19.0 PPG over 17 games in 2025, outscoring Cam Ward (Tennessee Titans, 11.4 PPG) by 7.6 points per week. That separation would need a significant matchup swing to overcome.
The per-game difference of 7.6 points favors Dak Prescott, though savvy managers know that gap can shrink or widen depending on the weekly slate. Defensive matchup, recent scoring trends, and health status all shift the calculus from one quarterback to the other.
Both lean on arm talent and offensive scheme as traditional pocket passers. Cam Ward threw for 3169 yards and 15 touchdowns, while Dak Prescott posted 4552 yards and 30 scores. Volume, red zone efficiency, and game script are the key week-to-week differentiators when neither carries rushing upside.
One scheduling note: Cam Ward is off Week 5 and Dak Prescott Week 7. If these two are on your roster, you will need a fill-in quarterback for both weeks. DraftCall flags bye conflicts so you can plan ahead rather than panic on waivers.
