Dak Prescott
QB - Dallas Cowboys
Availability
Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer told reporters that Dak Prescott will play in Week 18 against the GIants.
Fantasy Impact
Prescott will start the season finale against the Giants. It will be a meaningless game outside of draft position for both teams.
Dak Prescott completed 19-of-37 pass attempts for 307 yards and two touchdowns while also rushing four times for 24 yards in the Cowboys' 30-23 Week 17 win over the Commanders.
Fantasy Impact
Prescott continues an impactful stretch behind center, throwing for over 300 yards and two or more touchdowns in four of his last five games. The quarterback will look to reward fantasy managers with another elite performance in a Week 18 matchup against the New York Giants.
Dak Prescott completed 21-of-30 passes for 244 yards and two touchdowns in the Cowboys 34-17 loss against the Chargers.
Fantasy Impact
Prescott was able to get whatever he wanted in the first half. He also threw another touchdown to Ryan Flournoy that was called back. But, he and the Cowboys offense were shutout in the second half. He'll face the Commanders next week.
Dak Prescott moved the offense effectively between the 20s but struggled to finish drives during Sunday's 34-26 loss to Minnesota, completing 23 of 38 passes for 294 yards with no touchdowns. He added two rushing yards on one carry.
Fantasy Impact
While Dallas converted its first two red-zone trips into rushing scores, the attack stalled on three subsequent visits inside the 20-yard line, forcing the team to settle for short field goals. Prescott battled a confusing defensive scheme that generated consistent pressure, a challenge compounded by visible chemistry issues with receiver George Pickens, whose effort level appeared inconsistent. The loss severely damages the Cowboys' playoff hopes, leaving them needing to win out combined with a collapse by the Eagles to secure a berth.
Despite losing his top receiver, CeeDee Lamb, to a concussion early in the third quarter, Dak Prescott managed to post a season-high in passing yardage during Thursday night's 44-30 loss to the Lions. The veteran quarterback was forced into a pass-heavy script, resulting in his second-highest attempt total of the year and his third consecutive game eclipsing the 300-yard mark.
Fantasy Impact
Prescott spread the ball around to eight different receivers, finding Ryan Flournoy for a 42-yard touchdown and connecting with Jake Ferguson on a successful two-point conversion. However, his efforts were marred by turnovers, as he threw two interceptions and lost a fumble. Dallas will look to keep its playoff hopes alive when they host the Minnesota Vikings in a crucial Sunday night showdown on Dec. 14.
