Fantasy Tiers

Dak Prescott: Tier 2 (Strong Starter) QB (ranked #9 at the position). Will Levis: Tier 5 (Deep League) QB (ranked #99 at the position).

That ranking gap means Dak Prescott carries more trade value and a higher draft cost in 2026.

Dak Prescott vs Will Levis: The Full Breakdown

Deciding between Dak Prescott and Will Levis is a common lineup dilemma for fantasy managers. The Dallas Cowboys quarterback put up 18.5 PPG in 2025 over 17 games; Will Levis of the Tennessee Titans averaged 13.2 in 14. A 5.3-point margin that could shift on any given week.

The per-game difference of 5.3 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. Dak Prescott threw for 4552 yards and 30 touchdowns, while Will Levis posted 2780 yards and 17 scores. Volume, red zone efficiency, and game script are the key week-to-week differentiators when neither carries rushing upside.

Dak Prescott has his bye in Week 14, and Will Levis rests in Week 5. Managers rostering both need waiver wire depth at quarterback for those two weeks, and that is exactly the kind of planning DraftCall's matchup engine surfaces automatically so you are not scrambling on a Sunday morning.

Trade Value + Dynasty Outlook

Dak Prescott is a buy in trades where the other manager is chasing upside at a different position. Will Levis is a hold unless you can flip him for a positional upgrade elsewhere on your roster. Dynasty outlook: Dak Prescott (age 32) is on the back end of his prime. Strong now, but dynasty value declines year over year. Will Levis (age 27) is in his prime window. Peak production now with steady value for the next 3-4 seasons.
