Draft note

by John Paulsen

Last season, Dak Prescott finished as the fantasy QB4 and had the fifth-highest per-game average. He missed some time in 2022, but had the 13th-highest per-game average, and he was the QB9 in 2021. So he has a long history of starter-level numbers. The Cowboys return most of Prescott’s weapons, losing Tony Pollard and Michael Gallup to free agency. The key receivers–breakout star CeeDee Lamb, Brandin Cooks, and Jake Ferguson–are all back. Dallas lost some talent along the offensive line, but they used premium draft capital to shore up the unit. Prescott should have another solid season.

Latest news

Cowboys believe TE Jake Ferguson avoided serious injury

Pro Football Talk

Sep 09 · 8:49 AM EDT

Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson is going to undergo an MRI on Monday to determine the extent of his left knee injury, but X-rays were negative.

Todd Archer of ESPN reports Ferguson’s ACL is intact.

“I think we dodged a big one,” Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott said, via Jon Machota of TheAthletic.com. “Talking to him, he gave me a lot of confidence that he’ll be OK.”

Related players: Luke Schoonmaker

Fantasy Impact:

Ferguson caught three passes for 15 yards in Sunday’s win over the Browns. It's not clear if Ferguson will miss time, but owners should probably prepare as if he will. With Ferguson possibly out, Schoonmaker could be next up. Given Ferguson's potential in this offense, Schoonmaker could make for a productive fantasy player at the position as well if Ferguson does have to miss time, and is at least worth a look in deeper leagues.

DAL QB Dak Prescott - Week 1 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 1 @ Cleveland Browns
As one of the best pure pocket passers in the game, Dak Prescott has one of the safest floors in all of fantasy football. That is solidified by the Cowboys' pass-heavy approach, which should continue after the team essentially went Zero RB this offseason. With that said, this is one of the few matchups where we shouldn't expect amazing production. Dak should be considered a low-ceiling top-15 option.
