Latest takes
“180.8 | WR70 While he missed eight games last season with a toe injury, Purdy was the QB6 on a points-per-game basis, averaging 19.7 fantasy points per contest, a higher average than Jalen Hurts (18.7) and Dak Prescott (18.5)”
Mike Fanelli· Aug 6“Josh Allen , Patrick Mahomes , Brock Purdy , Dak Prescott , and Jared Goff were the only quarterbacks selected as top-12 players who were also top 12 in points per game.”
Rich Hribar· Aug 5“The Cowboys made no meaningful additions at RB this offseason and are running it back with Dak Prescott , CeeDee Lamb , and George Pickens .”
Jordan Pullett· Jul 29

“Only four quarterbacks have averaged 240 passing yards per game in each of the last three seasons: Patrick Mahomes, Jared Goff, Brock Purdy, and Dak Prescott. Prescott also ranks sixth in touchdowns per game over the last three years, while carrying the eighth-lowest interception rate over that span, all while throwing the ball at the third-highest rate in the league.”
Jeff Krisko· Jul 26“QB Dak Prescott impressed last year, leading the NFL in completions and setting career highs in passing yards and attempts. He had 13 passing TDs inside the five-yard line, which was second-most on the season.”
Maggie Thraen· Jul 25“One of the best pure passers in the game, Dak Prescott seems primed for another big season. He has a solid offensive line in front of him and perhaps the best WR tandem in the league in CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens . If the Dallas defense is subpar again, Prescott could be thrust into a lot of shootouts in which he’s forced to match opponents score for score.”
FantasyPros Staff· Jul 15“Dak Prescott may be one of the most underrated fantasy quarterbacks. He's always near the top of the league in passing yards and touchdowns, and he should be one of the favorites to lead both categories once again in 2026.”
Kurt Blakeway· Jul 10“At full strength, Dak Prescott leads an offense ranked among the best in the NFL.”
Joe Gibbs· Jun 29“Statistically, Prescott has over 4,500 yards and 30 touchdowns in each of his last two healthy seasons.”
Ryan Kirksey· Jun 18“Dak Prescott finished as the QB6, outperforming his QB11 ADP by five spots.”
Mike Fanelli· Jun 14“After the Cowboys' Week 10 bye, Prescott finished as a top-12 fantasy quarterback in six of his final eight games, averaging just under 22 fantasy points per game.”
Kurt Blakeway· May 25“Dak Prescott passing yards Over 3800.5 -105 MGM (1 unit)”
Warren Sharp· May 20“As a team that routinely ebbs and flows from year to year (just look at Dak Prescott's seasonal logs), I think Dallas might take a teeny-tiny small step back on offense.”
Andrew Erickson· May 15“The Cowboys return to the first round to secure Dak Prescott's eventual successor.”
FantasyPros Staff· May 10“Cowboys QB Dak Prescott was slightly limited during minicamp with knee soreness. Dallas HC Brian Schottenheimer called it a non-issue and said they want to be proactive in managing Prescott's workload as he ages.”
Tony Camino· Jul 9
“Dalton Kincaid was wildly efficient in 2025, averaging 14.6 yards per catch, 11.7 yards per target, and 2.70 yards per route run. The problem was that he played only 12 games and 302 snaps.”
FantasyPros Staff· Aug 11“Dalton Kincaid (TE – BUF) posted elite per-route efficiency last year, ranking first among tight ends in several rate categories despite playing only about a third of his team’s offensive snaps.”
FantasyPros Staff· Aug 10“Kincaid sits at TE11 in dynasty ECR while dealing with his own lingering PCL injury that limited him to a part-time role for most of last season, averaging roughly 25 snaps a game and finishing third on his own team in tight end snaps. PCL injuries are historically tricky, with surgery often viewed as a last resort, and his team’s front office has suggested his workload may need continued managing this year.”

“Josh Palmer missed five games with an ankle injury, Khalil Shakir played through a nagging knee injury, and Dalton Kincaid missed five games and had his snaps limited due to an ongoing knee issue.”
Curtis Hirsch· Aug 5“Jason finally took a TE with his final pick, getting Dalton Kincaid .”
Kurt Mullen· Jul 29“Undervalued: Dalton Kincaid, Tight End (TE13, Pick 117 OVR) There’s something to be said about Dalton Kincaid maybe finally being good, but somehow still getting stuck behind Dawson Knox too much.”
Jeff Krisko· Jul 23“The opportunity cost at Sadiq’s ADP isn’t brutal, but it still means passing on other players with objectively better ranges of outcomes (including the massively undervalued Dalton Kincaid at his position).”
Ted Chmyz· Jul 22“Dalton Kincaid (BUF) – ADP 94.3 | TE10 Kincaid was one of my favorite sleeper tight ends last year. Unfortunately, he finished as the TE20, averaging 10.5 PPR fantasy points per game, missing five contests because of injury.”
Mike Fanelli· Jul 20“It's tough to say if Kincaid has lived up to the first-round billing, but he's a dynamic receiving weapon and an important part of their offense.”
Ethan Woodie· Jul 11“Dalton Kincaid is a player referred to as 'reliably unreliable'—when on the field and healthy, he commands a modest snap count and target share in Buffalo's elite offense, but the problem is that Kincaid is typically nursing a soft-tissue injury. Now competing for targets with DJ Moore, even in a situation where Kincaid stays healthy for a full 17 games, he will need to be ultra-efficient with his touches.”
Evan Tarracciano· Jun 25“Kincaid has shown flashes of fantasy greatness, but has been maddeningly inconsistent, with his total targets dropping in each of his three NFL seasons while playing in fewer games each season due to his nagging injuries.”
Aaron Larson· Jun 18“Dalton Kincaid received criticism due to concerns surrounding health and snap count limitations.”
FantasyPros Staff· May 30“In the nine weeks in 2025 when Kincaid got to a just a 40%-plus route share, he was a TE1 in five of those weeks. His season-high route share was a lowly 58.1%. If Buffalo ever gets him up to a 60-70% route share weekly, he could smash his ADP.”
Dan Williamson· May 29“Dalton Kincaid might be one of the more frustrating dynasty assets at tight end. The efficiency numbers were excellent last season, but the role simply wasn't, as Kincaid remained a part-time player in Buffalo's offense, finishing behind Dawson Knox and rookie Jackson Haw in snaps. There was also significant concern surrounding Kincaid's lingering PCL injury situation and Buffalo's public comments about managing his workload.”
FantasyPros Staff· May 16“Kincaid had 6-83 and a touchdown against the Broncos in the playoffs and totaled seven catches for 103 yards and a touchdown against the Dolphins in their two divisional games last year.”
