Dak Prescott vs Trevor Lawrence: Who Should You Start?
Deciding between Dak Prescott and Trevor Lawrence is a common lineup dilemma for fantasy managers. The Dallas Cowboys quarterback put up 19.0 PPG in 2025 over 17 games; Trevor Lawrence of the Jacksonville Jaguars averaged 20.6 in 17. A 1.6-point margin that could shift on any given week.
The per-game difference of 1.6 points favors Trevor Lawrence, 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. Dak Prescott threw for 4552 yards and 30 touchdowns, while Trevor Lawrence posted 4007 yards and 29 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 Trevor Lawrence Week 12. 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.
