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
Productive in Sunday's loss
Prescott completed 27 of 39 passes for 293 yards and one touchdown with two interceptions in Sunday's 44-19 loss to the Saints. He added 12 rushing yards on two carries.
ANALYSIS
Despite the final score, much of Prescott's production came in the first half, as Dallas put together a couple long drives but couldn't get the ball into the end zone while the defense was getting obliterated by Alvin Kamara and the New Orleans offense. Neither interception was entirely Prescott's fault, either -- the first came when his receiver stumbled out of his break, and the second came in the fourth quarter when his team was down by three scores and the QB was in desperation mode. Prescott has only two TD passes through his first two games, and he faces a tough test in Week 3 against a frustrated Ravens squad.

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.
