Dak Prescott is one of seven top-10 fantasy producers at quarterback who fell outside of the top 13 QBs drafted, indicating he was undervalued in drafts.PositiveProjectionSep 23, 2026
Prescott delivered a 29-point (QB3) fantasy performance in Week 2 with four passing TDs and 26 rushing yards after a disappointing 14-point outing in Week 1. In his 29 career games with an over/under of 50+ points, he has thrown for 55 TDs while averaging 290 yards and 20.1 fantasy points per contest. Facing Baltimore in Rio de Janeiro with a game total of 52.5 (highest of the week), Prescott is set up for another productive showing. With CeeDee Lamb locked in, George Pickens adding upside, and Jake Ferguson providing cover, the source projects top-eight QB numbers for Week 3.PositiveProjectionSep 22, 2026
Prescott scored 29.76 fantasy points in Week 2, demonstrating the upside potential of stacking a quarterback with his top receiver in knockout leagues.PositiveProjectionSep 21, 2026
Prescott had 29.76 fantasy points in Week 2 against the Commanders, attacking every level of the field in the pass game with 279 yards and four touchdowns, while adding 26 yards on the ground. Bowen notes this was in a positive matchup versus the Commanders.NegativeProjectionSep 17, 2026
Prescott scored 14.4 points in Week 1 loss to the Giants with two touchdown passes and 14 rushing yards, though he threw a pick and totaled just 175 passing yards. The source notes the vertical concepts didn't hit; Prescott completed only one of six passes of 15-plus air yards. Last season, Prescott averaged 5.6 fantasy points per game on vertical throws (15-plus air yards), a production avenue that needs to return. Gets a solid matchup in Week 2 versus the Commanders' defense and remains a midtier QB1.NegativeValueAug 31, 2026

Prescott finished as the No. 6 QB last season while leading a Cowboys offense ranked top five in pass attempts, passing yards and points per game. He has one of the league's best receiver duos in CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens, who combined to score 31.6 fantasy points per game. Lamb can win from the slot and in motion while Pickens is a true outside and downfield threat; both can make plays in contested situations and create after the catch, giving Prescott two elite options who can stress defenses in different ways.NegativeProjectionAug 14, 2026
Prescott won't provide high-end rushing numbers but plays in an explosive Dallas pass game featuring CeeDee Lamb, George Pickens, and tight end Jake Ferguson. He scored 18.1 fantasy points per game last season, threw for 4,555 yards (third most), and had 30 touchdowns.PositiveMatchupAug 12, 2026

Prescott's Week 1 performance (14.40 fantasy points) was underwhelming due to Cowboys drops and penalties, but his Week 2 home matchup against Washington is a much softer landing spot. The Commanders surrendered 20.12 fantasy points on only 25 passing plays to Jalen Hurts in Week 1. Prescott has scored in excess of 20 fantasy points in four straight home games overall and in each of his past five home games against the Commanders, making this a favorable matchup to exploit despite opening-week struggles being part of his personal history.PositiveValueNo date
Dak Prescott is sliding in fantasy drafts despite elite offensive pass catchers (CeeDee Lamb, George Pickens). He's currently QB7 on ESPN but the source projects him closer to 40 passing touchdowns (up from 30 last season), which would land him in the top three, making him a value play that will outplay his ADP.
