DAL QB Dak Prescott - Week 12 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 12 vs Washington Commanders

It was a quiet week for Dak Prescott against the Panthers last week, as he finished with 189 yards and two touchdowns on his way to 16.2 fantasy points, good for QB15 for Week 11. Given his recent form, this was a down game, but he remains the QB6 in fantasy points per game.

The good times should get going again on Thanksgiving with a clash against the friendly Commanders. No team is allowing more aFPA to quarterbacks than the Commanders this season. Dak is an elite option this week, with overall QB1 within his reasonable range of outcomes.

DAL QB Dak Prescott - Week 11 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 11 at Carolina Panthers

Dak Prescott's run of red-hot fantasy performances continued against the Giants in Week 10, with Prescott amassing 37.9 fantasy points on his way to the overall QB1 for the week. Prescott's torrid form has seen him rise all the way up to QB4 in fantasy points per game.

Prescott should still be able to deliver top 12 numbers in Week 11, despite a matchup that doesn't look that rich on paper. The seemingly hapless Panthers rank second in aFPA to quarterbacks this season, and are much more generous to running backs. But the Cowboys have been a lot more pass-happy of late, so Prescott should continue to see enough work to reward his fantasy managers.

DAL QB Dak Prescott - Week 10 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 10 vs. New York Giants

Dak Prescott has been on a fantasy tear in the last few weeks. He scored 28.4 fantasy points in Week 9, the second most of any quarterback last week, and his average points per game is now up to 17.5. This is good for QB13 this season.

On paper, the New York Giants have been quite stiff opposition for fantasy quarterbacks this season, ranking eighth in aFPA to the position. But the team is circling the drain, and given his hot recent form we shouldn't discount Prescott's fantasy appeal this week. Look to him for solid mid-level QB1 numbers in Week 10.

DAL QB Dak Prescott - Week 9 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 9 at Philadelphia Eagles

Dak Prescott has emerged as something of a fantasy stud over the last two Cowboys games, averaging 26.5 fantasy points in each. He managed 28.1 against the Rams, thanks largely to Prescott’s first 300-yard game of the season, as well as four touchdown passes.

Prescott is in a sweet spot in his bid to continue his return to fantasy relevance in Week 9 in an NFC East shootout with the Eagles, who have bled fantasy points to quarterbacks so far this year. The Eagles rank dead last in aFPA to the position, keeping Prescott firmly in the QB1 conversation this week.

DAL QB Dak Prescott - Week 8 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 8 vs. Los Angeles Rams

The Cowboys are 4-2 but have managed to achieve this lofty rank without any players really achieving fantasy superstardom so far in 2023. This is especially true of Dak Prescott, who sits at QB21 in fantasy points per game this season.

He might be able to make some fantasy noise in Week 8 against the Rams, who rank 21st in aFPA to quarterbacks this season. It's possible Prescott could flirt with low-end QB1 numbers in Week 8, building on his overall QB1 showing in Week 6.

DAL QB Dak Prescott - Week 6 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 6 at. Los Angeles Chargers

Week 5 was a tough day at the office for Dak Prescott and the Cowboys. Prescott completed just 14 of his 24 pass attempts for 153 yards and a touchdown, also tossing three interceptions. Prescott managed 4.3 fantasy points, a tally exceeded by 28 quarterbacks. Prescott averages 11.8 fantasy points per game in 2023, good for QB24.

Week 6 presents an ideal spot for Prescott to break out of his fantasy doldrums as the Cowboys take on the Chargers. Brandon Staley's charges rank 30th in aFPA to quarterbacks in 2023. Still, it's hard to see Prescott as anything above a high-end QB2, given his prior form.

DAL QB Dak Prescott - Week 5 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 5 at San Francisco 49ers

Another week, another game in which Dak Prescott produced practically nothing of note in fantasy football circles. The Cowboys quarterback was efficient, completing 28 of his 34 attempts, but his 261 yards contained just one touchdown pass. The days of Prescott as a runner seem all but over. Prescott was the QB17 and is the QB22 in fantasy points per game this year.

Prescott faces a fairly middle-of-the-road opponent in the 49ers this week, at least according to aFPA. The 49ers rank 15th in that regard in 2023. Still, Prescott just fails to truly excite the expectant fantasy manager these days and should be viewed as a low-end QB2 in Week 5.
