Dak Prescott is the Dallas Cowboys number 4 quarterback, a 10-year veteran, and finished the 2025 regular season as a top-tier fantasy option at his position. He averaged 19.0 fantasy points per game across 17 appearances, which ranks him 9th among quarterbacks in our 2026 draft board. That per-game number is the starting point for every start or sit decision you make with him in 2026.
On the production side, Dak Prescott finished 2025 with 4,552 passing yards and 30 touchdowns. He chipped in 177 rushing yards, a small but meaningful floor boost in weeks where the passing matchup looks ugly.
Dak Prescott lives and dies with passing volume, so his week-to-week fantasy performance tracks game script closely. In shootouts he hits ceiling games. In ground-and-pound matchups his fantasy output gets capped. Streamers love this profile because the volatility cuts both ways, but set-and-forget managers tend to prefer steadier options.
Heading into 2026, Dak Prescott projects as a core piece of the Dallas Cowboys offense. Managers drafting him need to plan around his Week 7 bye and monitor training camp reports for role changes.
