Dak Prescott Week 16 Outlook - Chargers at Cowboys

By Ellis Johnson (FantasyPros), Tue, Dec 16th 2025, 5:49pm EST

Dak Prescott, having his worst weekly finish since Week 1, was not what fantasy managers needed at this point of the season. Unfortunately, this week's matchup isn't any better. Last week, he faced the Vikings, who are allowing the fewest fantasy points to QBs over the last five weeks. This week, he faces the Chargers, who are allowing the second-fewest points. Thankfully, the Cowboys' secondary can't stop anyone, and likely force Dak to throw all game. However, it wouldn't be wild to consider other options over Dak this week. Even if he has another down week, it'll all be worth it if you get to start him against the Commanders in Week 16.
