Should I Keep Dak Prescott?
HEYTC AIDak Prescott remains a high-end fantasy quarterback after the 2025 season, showing strong efficiency and multi-TD upside in a pass-leaning Dallas offense.

Dak Prescott Fantasy Projections & Matchup Analysis
If his keeper cost is in the middle rounds or later, he is a strong value to retain as a locked-in QB1 rather than re-entering the draft pool. In shallow leagues or formats where elite QBs go very late, you can consider shopping him, but only if the keeper premium is a top-2 round cost and you can stream or draft a comparable option.
Dallas remained a competitive, high-scoring offense in 2025, with Prescott consistently posting strong passing lines and multi-touchdown games, indicating a stable system and supporting cast. The Cowboys’ playoff-caliber profile and continued reliance on Prescott as the offensive centerpiece suggest strong organizational commitment and minimal short-term risk to his role.
- Sustained high-end passing volume and efficiency in 2025 with multiple spike weeks and strong fantasy point totals.
- Age and play style that rely more on pocket passing than rushing, which typically ages better and supports longevity at the position.
- Continued offensive competency in Dallas with a competitive team and productive scoring environment, supporting long-term fantasy stability.
