Dallas Cowboys QB Dak Prescott is likely to have his contract restructured during the offseason to create more cap space as he enters Year 11 while still considered to be in his prime.
From TheHuddle
Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott had one of the best seasons of his career in 2025, and he should remain a top fantasy option for 2026. Prescott finished the year with a 67.3% completion rate, 4,552 passing yards, 32 total touchdowns, and 10 interceptions. He also rushed for 177 yards. He finished the year as the overall QB6 in fantasy football and has now ranked as a top-six quarterback in his last two healthy seasons (excluding 2024, when he missed nine games). Prescott was able to perform at an elite level largely due to the supporting cast around him. Dallas had one of the top receiver rooms in the NFL with CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens, while tight end Jake Ferguson also played at a very high level. Pickens and running back Javonte Williams are both slated for free agency, but it sounds like Dallas plans to bring back Pickens, even if that means using the franchise tag on him. If Prescott can get all three of his top targets back in 2026, he'll compete to be a top-five quarterback in fantasy football.

Dallas Cowboys QB Dak Prescott was blitzed 163 times during the 2025 regular season, which ranked second in the NFL.
Fantasy Spin: Prescott had two of the top receivers in the NFL this season and ranked third in the NFL with 4,552 passing yards and fourth in the league with 30 passing touchdowns. He should be a No. 1 quarterback in fantasy leagues next season.

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones is optimistic about the team's future based on quarterback Dak Prescott's impressive 2025 season. "I think I've seen Dak at the best he's ever been," Jones said. Prescott certainly had one of the best seasons of his 10-year NFL career, completing 67.3% of his 600 pass attempts for 4,552 yards, 30 touchdowns, and 10 interceptions in 17 starts. His 404 completions were a league-high, and he finished as the QB5 in terms of overall fantasy points. The 32-year-old veteran entered Week 18 action with the most passing yards, completions, and pass attempts in the NFL, but he wasn't able to add much to those totals after the Cowboys pulled him in a meaningless game. Dallas' failure to make the postseason this year shouldn't rest on the shoulders of Prescott and the offense. Going into 2026, he'll be a strong QB1 target if the Cowboys bring receiver George Pickens back to work with CeeDee Lamb.
From RotoBaller
Dallas Cowboys QB Dak Prescott completed 7-of-11 passes for 70 yards, no touchdowns and no interceptions in the Week 18 game against the New York Giants before giving way to QB Joe Milton III for the second half.
Fantasy Spin: There is nothing at stake for the Cowboys, or either of these teams, and this is the danger with playing fantasy championship games in Week 18, or using certain players on eliminated teams in DFS. There are so many landmines, with players being held out, resting early, etc. Prescott will be back in 2026, and he should be a low-end QB1 again for most fantasy managers.
From TheHuddle
Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott will play in the regular-season finale against the New York Giants on Sunday. It's unclear whether Prescott will play the entire game, given that neither team is playing for anything beyond draft position. It wouldn't be shocking to see the Cowboys let Joe Milton III play some to finish out the season. The Cowboys have little incentive for Prescott to play an entire game and risk injury. Given the uncertainty, fantasy managers might want to look elsewhere for quarterback help this weekend. If he plays the whole game, Prescott is an elite option, but the unknown makes him a risky choice.
From RotoBaller
Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott will start Sunday's Week 18 regular-season finale against the division-rival New York Giants, according to Todd Archer of ESPN. However, Prescott is not sure if he will play the whole game, with the expectation being that Joe Milton III will get some action to close out the year. The Cowboys plan to play their starters this weekend, but it looks like they might not play a full game, which obviously now makes Prescott a shaky QB1 option for anyone still playing for a fantasy championship in Week 18. Prescott is having one of the best seasons of his career, and he's been especially efficient of late. The 32-year-old veteran currently leads the league in completions (397), passing attempts (589), passing yards (4,482), and yards per game (280.1) in 16 starts. This news makes Prescott much more risky in the season finale.
From RotoBaller
Dallas Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer said that quarterback Dak Prescott will play on Sunday in the Week 18 regular-season finale versus the division-rival New York Giants, according to Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. Neither the Cowboys nor the Giants has anything to play for in the final game of the 2025 season, but Dallas will run out their starters to close things out. The 32-year-old Prescott is having one of the finest seasons of his career, as he heads into Week 18 with 4,482 passing yards, 30 touchdowns, and 10 interceptions on the year. He has added 178 rushing yards and two rushing TDs. Since the team's Week 10 bye, Prescott is averaging 300 passing yards with 13 touchdowns and only four interceptions. He is the QB4 in overall fantasy points and should be considered a must-start for anyone still playing for something in Week 18.

Dallas Cowboys QB Dak Prescott will play in the Week 18 game, according to head coach Brian Schottenheimer.
Fantasy Spin: The Cowboys have been eliminated from playoff contention, but Prescott will still see his normal workload during the game. He leads the league in passing yards and has thrown at least two touchdowns in five of his last seven games. He will be a No. 1 quarterback in all fantasy leagues.

Cowboys' QB Dak Prescott scored 25.75 fantasy points in Thursday's Week 17 win in Washington. Prescott threw for 307 yards on 19-of-37 with two touchdowns.

Dallas Cowboys QB Dak Prescott went 19-for-37 for 307 yards and two touchdowns against the Washington Commanders in Week 17. He also rushed for 24 yards on four carries during the game.
Fantasy Spin: Prescott threw for at least 300 yards for the fourth time in the last six games and four passing touchdowns in the last two games. He is expected to play in the regular season finale and will be a No. 1 quarterback in most fantasy leagues.
From TheHuddle
Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott had another outstanding performance last week against a strong Chargers defense despite the loss, completing 21 of 30 passes for 244 yards (8.1 Y/A) with two touchdowns. Prescott remains one of the best fantasy quarterbacks in a high-volume passing offense with two elite wide receivers in CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens. The 32-year-old signal caller gets a beautiful matchup on Christmas Day against a horrid Washington Commanders defense, which the Cowboys scored 44 points against back in their Week 7 meeting. The Commanders have allowed the third most fantasy points per game to quarterbacks and have shown little to no resistance against the pass in recent weeks. Prescott profiles as a set-and-forget top-three QB option in Week 17.
From RotoBaller
Dallas quarterback Dak Prescott finished Week 16 on the sideline, watching backup Joe Milton III take the team's final offensive snaps in what became a blowout loss to the Chargers, but according to team CEO Stephen Jones, he will remain the team's starter for a Week 17 divisional matchup with the Commanders. Prescott and the Cowboys' offense started hot on Sunday, finishing each of their first three drives with points, but stalled out after that, with their most successful drive of the second half being the six-play opener that resulted in 21 yards and a punt. The Commanders provide what is, on paper, a dream fantasy matchup for Prescott and the rest of Dallas' weapons. Still, with the Cowboys now eliminated from playoff contention, there is an air of uncertainty surrounding many of the studs that likely had a part in punching many a ticket to the fantasy championship.
From RotoBaller
Dallas Cowboys QB Dak Prescott completed 21-of-30 passes for 244 yards and two touchdowns in a 34-17 loss in Week 16 to the Los Angeles Chargers. He added 14 yards on two carries.
Fantasy Spin: Prescott threw a pair of touchdown passes on his first two drives but couldn't find the end zone thereafter. He was replaced by Joe Milton for the final drive of the game. With Dallas out of the playoff picture and Milton getting the last series in Week 16, fantasy managers should stay informed on Dak's status for Week 17.
From TheHuddle
Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott is coming off back-to-back fantasy finishes outside the top 12 at the position, and in Week 16, he faces a Chargers defense that has been the third-toughest matchup for opposing quarterbacks. While the deck may seem stacked against him, Prescott remains a strong play for the fantasy semifinals. Both CeeDee Lamb (illness) and Javonte Williams (neck) were able to log full participation at Friday's practice after beginning the week limited, giving Prescott his full complement of offensive weapons for a game with the second-highest over/under of the week. Notwithstanding his recent mini-slump, in which he's thrown only one touchdown over the past two weeks, Prescott is still averaging 336 passing yards per game across his last four outings, despite facing three of the league's five best passing defenses in that span. He is RotoBaller's QB4 for the week.

Dallas Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer said that he plans to play quarterback Dak Prescott when asked if he would want to see backup quarterback Joe Milton III play if the Cowboys are eliminated from playoff contention. "I want to win, so the plan would be to play Dak," Schottenheimer said. It's not a surprising development to hear that Prescott will remain the starter for the final three games of the regular season, even with Dallas' playoff odds at less than 1%. The 32-year-old has put together one of the best seasons of his career, completing 68.4% of his passes for a league-leading 3,931 yards, 26 touchdowns, and 10 interceptions while adding 45 carries for 140 yards and two more scores on the ground. He remains a top-five QB option in fantasy for the Week 16 matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers.
