Dak Prescott Fantasy Overview

2025 Role & Results

Production & Fantasy Finishes

Prescott played the full season in 2025, throwing for 4,552 yards, 30 TDs, and 10 INTs, the second-highest passing total of his career. He added 177 rushing yards and 2 TDs.

Prescott finished:

• QB5 in total fantasy points (313.1)
• QB7 in fantasy points per game (19.6)
• QB3 in expected fantasy points per game
• 10 weeks among the top 12 at QB

Usage & Role

The volume drove Prescott’s production. He ranked:

• second in dropbacks (659)
• second in attempts (605)
• third in passing yards (4,552)
• fourth in passing TDs (30)
• first in throws into the end zone
• second in expected passing TDs

Dallas also gave him one of the league’s best volume environments, ranking third in plays per game (65.9) with a 58.5% pass rate.

Efficiency & Regression

Prescott’s efficiency backed up the fantasy production.

Among 42 qualified QBs, he ranked:

• 13th in completion rate
• 9th in yards per attempt
• 11th in adjusted completion rate
• Third in completion rate over expected
• Sixth in Pro Football Focus pass grade

His PFF profile proved especially strong:

• 86.9 offensive grade (seventh)
• 88.2 passing grade (fifth)
• 83.9% adjusted completion rate (third)
• 31 big-time throws (fifth)
• 2.9% turnover-worthy play rate (14th)

Prescott combined strong efficiency with opportunity. This profile gives him a sturdy QB1 floor with top-five weeks whenever the TDs swing his way.

He also did not collapse when CeeDee Lamb missed three games with a high ankle sprain.

With Lamb:

• 16.86 fantasy points per game
• 268.0 passing yards per game
• 1.46 passing TDs per game

Without Lamb:

• 22.96 fantasy points per game
• 267.0 passing yards per game
• 2.75 passing TDs per game

That does not mean Prescott’s better without Lamb. It does show that his 2025 production was not tied to one WR, because Dallas had enough volume, structure, and talent to keep him productive.

Offensive Context

The Cowboys offense under HC Brian Schottenheimer provided a strong environment for fantasy production.

They ranked:

• Third in total yards per game
• Fourth in passing yards per game
• Sixth in passing TDs per game
• First in plays per game
• Eighth in pass rate
• Fifth in expected points added per play

Brian Schottenheimer’s Dallas offenses have played quickly over the past two seasons after playing slow :

• 2023: third (66 plays per game)
• 2024: first (64.9 plays per game)
• 2025: third (65.9)

The offense leaned a little more toward the run in 2025 …

• 2023: 56.7% Pass Rate
• 2024: 61.1% Pass Rate
• 2025: 58.5% Pass Rate

The neutral pass rate stayed consistent at 57.7% in both seasons, though. That suggests the dip in pass rate was due to specific game environments rather than a shift in philosophy. RB Javonte Williams also provided a steadier rushing option than the 2024 squad found.

The pace means Prescott doesn’t need to be hyper-efficient to remain a fantasy starter.

The O-line was more mixed. Dallas ranked 30th in PFF pass-block grade, but third in adjusted sack rate and 19th in ESPN pass-block win rate. Prescott took 31 sacks, with a 4.7% sack rate that ranked 12th.

The OL should be more consistent in 2026 with all starters returning.

2026 Opportunity & Projection

Supporting Cast

WR George Pickens added a downfield element in 2025, and Prescott gets him back alongside Lamb and TE Jake Ferguson.

The Cowboys also return some of their receiving depth:

• Ryan Flournoy
• Jonathan Mingo
• KaVontae Turpin

The rest of the offense remains largely intact. RB Javonte Williams returns as the starter after signing a three-year extension, with Malik Davis and Jaydon Blue returning as depth.

Coaching & Offensive Scheme

Schottenheimer’s offense has been fantasy-friendly for Prescott.

Dallas ranked:

• First in plays per game in 2025
• Third in pace (seconds per play)
• Eighth in pass rate
• 10th in red-zone pass rate
• 11th in red-zone pass rate over expected

Dallas wasn’t purely pass-happy, but the pace still pushed Prescott near the top of the league in dropbacks and attempts.

Paths To Ceiling

Prescott’s offense and weapons give him a strong ceiling case.

• Dallas again ranks near the top of the league in plays.
• The Cowboys remain top-10 in pass attempts.
• Prescott’s strong efficiency holds.
• His end-zone throw volume turns into a few more TDs.

That combination could keep him in the top-7 mix among fantasy QBs.

He already finished QB6 in total points and QB3 in expected points per game last year. Similar efficiency and offensive pace in 2026 could repeat those numbers.

Risk Factors

If last year’s efficiency and pace slip, Prescott carries more risk.

Prescott’s fantasy value depends heavily on:

• Dallas sustaining elite play volume
• The OL holding up
• His WR corps staying healthy
• Avoiding efficiency decline

If Dallas slows down or becomes more run-leaning near the goal line, Prescott could settle closer to QB2 territory.
