Dak Prescott vs Jacoby Brissett: Who Should You Start?

Dak Prescott and Jacoby Brissett are both viable fantasy quarterbacks heading into 2026, but their 2025 production tells two different stories. Dak Prescott averaged 19.0 PPG across 17 games with the Dallas Cowboys, while Jacoby Brissett posted 16.8 PPG in 14 appearances for the Arizona Cardinals.

A 2.2-PPG gap gives Dak Prescott the edge on paper, but paper does not account for Thursday night matchups, weather games, or a star defender returning from injury. The real question is not who was better in 2025, but who is the better start this specific week.

Both lean on arm talent and offensive scheme as traditional pocket passers. Dak Prescott threw for 4552 yards and 30 touchdowns, while Jacoby Brissett posted 3366 yards and 23 scores. Volume, red zone efficiency, and game script are the key week-to-week differentiators when neither carries rushing upside.

Bye weeks matter for roster construction: Dak Prescott sits Week 7 while Jacoby Brissett is off Week 11. If you are deciding between the two as a season-long roster hold, the staggered byes actually work in your favor.

The Bottom Line

Dak Prescott outscored Jacoby Brissett by 2.2 PPG in 2025 (19.0 to 16.8). That production gap is the baseline, but weekly context shifts the answer. DraftCall analyzes matchup difficulty, scoring trends, and health data to deliver a clear start or sit recommendation backed by real reasoning.
