Dak Prescott vs Jordan Love: Who Should You Start?
Dak Prescott and Jordan Love 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 Jordan Love posted 16.1 PPG in 15 appearances for the Green Bay Packers.
A 2.9-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 Jordan Love posted 3381 yards and 23 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 Jordan Love Week 10. 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.
