Dak Prescott vs Daniel Jones: Who Should You Start?
This is a genuine coin flip on paper. Dak Prescott finished the 2025 season at 19.0 PPG over 17 games with the Dallas Cowboys, while Daniel Jones clocked in at 18.0 across 13 appearances for the Indianapolis Colts. A 1.0-point gap means any given week could go either way.
With a margin this thin, season averages are not the deciding factor. Weekly variables like opponent defense, game script, and injury status carry more weight than a fraction of a PPG. The right start in Week 6 might be the wrong start in Week 14.
Both lean on arm talent and offensive scheme as traditional pocket passers. Dak Prescott threw for 4552 yards and 30 touchdowns, while Daniel Jones posted 3101 yards and 19 scores. Volume, red zone efficiency, and game script are the key week-to-week differentiators when neither carries rushing upside.
One scheduling note: Dak Prescott is off Week 7 and Daniel Jones Week 14. 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.
