Dak Prescott Fantasy Football Outlook (2021)

By Mike Tagliere (FantasyPros), Mon, Aug 23rd 2021, 11:41pm EDT

Prescott is battling a shoulder injury, but all indications are that he'll be ready for the start of the season. Assuming he is, he should have an outstanding season. Here's a fun fact: Prescott's 27.0 fantasy points per game in 2020 was the second-most all-time. What makes that stat even crazier is that his 4.05 percent touchdown rate was below the league average of 4.80 percent, so there was room for more. Of the top eight single-game performances by quarterbacks in 2020, there was only one quarterback on that list twice: Prescott, and he only played four full games. With the receiving weapons he has available, the sky is the limit, though his ankle injury could hamper his rushing upside in 2021. He's certainly someone who's going to throw for a lot of yards and touchdowns, but you need the rushing upside to get into the top-three conversation, so his risk bumps him out of that conversation.
