Dak Prescott extension not a guarantee in Dallas
While veteran QB Dak Prescott and the Dallas Cowboys have a mutual interest in pursuing a contract extension, one being agreed upon is “[not] a sure thing.”

Fantasy Impact

Dan Graziano of ESPN reported that he is not as convinced as others that an extension is guaranteed to get done between the two parties. While Dallas would like to be able to spread out the money via an extension to help with the cap, Prescott holds the leverage in the situation and can not be traded or tagged. If Dallas and Prescott do not come to terms, the Cowboys can restructure his deal, but it would leave a tough cap hit in 2025 with no guarantee Prescott remains on the team.

Fantasy Football Draft Outlook

After a disappointing, injury-marred season in 2022, Dak Prescott rebounded with perhaps the finest season of his career in 2023. Prescott led all NFL quarterbacks in touchdown passes (36) and completions (410) last season and finished QB3 in fantasy scoring. Although he doesn’t offer a great deal of value as a runner, Prescott is one of the better pure passers in the game. In 2023, he ranked second in completion percentage (69.5%) among QBs with at least six starts, second in passer rating (105.9) and sixth in yards per attempt (7.7). Prescott benefits from playing with CeeDee Lamb, one of the best young receivers in the game.
