2024 Fantasy Outlook
The talk in Dallas entering last season was how run-the-ball Mike McCarthy taking over the playcalling would impact Prescott. Suffice to say, it worked out. McCarthy gave Prescott 590 pass attempts, which propelled him to QB3 in fantasy, as he finished third in passing yards (4,516) and first in TD passes (36). Not only did Dak get volume, but he also was highly accurate, leading the league with an 81.2 on-target percentage and ranking third in completion rate at a career-high 69.5 percent. His high rate of short passes (68.0 percent, 4th) wasn’t out of the ordinary for his career, and he actually threw deep more often than in 2022, as 10.2 percent of his attempts went 20-plus yards (12th) for eight TDs (2nd). CeeDee Lamb was again the lone major threat wideout, but tight end Jake Ferguson added 71 catches and five touchdowns. That’ll be the case again this year, though Prescott's TDs could dip given that his 26.0 red-zone TD pass percentage -- which resulted in 27 scores -- likely will regress closer to league average. The backfield is also a bit of a question with Tony Pollard leaving and Ezekiel Elliott returning. Prescott doesn’t run much these days (3.2 rushes/game, 25th), so he’ll need to approach 600 attempts again to have any chance at staying in the top 5 of fantasy QBs. Read Past Outlooks
RANKS
Pulled late in blowout loss
Prescott completed 17 of 33 passes for 178 yards, no touchdowns and two interceptions in Sunday's 47-9 loss to the Lions. He added one rush for one yard.
ANALYSIS
Prescott got off to a decent start, leading the Cowboys to a nine-play, 54-yard drive that resulted in a field goal on the team's opening possession. He went 4-for-6 for 46 yards -- and also had a pick called back for defensive holding -- but that was the highlight of his game. From there, he completed only 13 of 27 passes while averaging 4.9 yards per attempt with a pair of interceptions that led directly to 10 points for the Lions. Given the state of the game, Prescott sat most of the fourth quarter and failed to throw a touchdown for the first time this season. The Cowboys will get a well-timed bye in Week 7.

Prescott began last season with a broken thumb Week 1. He returned Week 7, only to have interceptions plague him the rest of the way. Despite missing five games, he tied for the league lead with 15 INTs. But the picks weren’t all on Prescott. In fact, his on-target percentage was at least 75 percent for the fourth consecutive season (6th last year). The biggest problem was his receivers. Prescott had the highest rate of tight-window throws in the league at 19.1 percent because his receivers averaged just 3.2 yards of separation, third fewest in the NFL -- 12 interceptions came on routes with three yards or less of separation. With Amari Cooper gone and Michael Gallup coming off an ACL tear, CeeDee Lamb was the lone playmaker. That impacted Prescott's downfield throwing too. His 8.8-yard average target depth ranked eighth in the league, but he completed only 37.2 percent of his attempts of 20-plus yards (17th). The Cowboys traded for the speedy Brandin Cooks, and Gallup should be improved a year further removed from injury. The team did not re-sign dump-off-catching tight end Dalton Schultz, instead going with Jake Ferguson and second-round rookie Luke Schoonmaker. The biggest wild card, though, is head coach Mike McCarthy taking over play calling after the departure of offensive coordinator Kellen Moore. If all goes right, Dak could be a top-10 QB, but he no longer has the rushing upside (18 rush TD in his first 48 games; eight in his last 49) to bolster his fantasy production.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could be longest-tenured Dallas QB
Prescott would become the longest-tenured quarterback in Cowboys franchise history if he plays out the length of the four-year, $240 million extension he signed Sunday morning, Adam Schefter of ESPN points out.
ANALYSIS
Prescott began his ninth season with the Cowboys in Sunday's 33-17 win over the Browns. Troy Aikman spent 12 seasons in Dallas, and Prescott would surpass that mark by one year if he plays all four seasons of his record-setting extension, which kicks in at the beginning of the 2025 season.
