Latest takes
“Prescott is a locked-in QB1 that could be a top-five option if they can put more touchdowns in the end zone in 2026.”
FantasyPros Staff· Aug 16“Dak Prescott (DAL) One of the best pure passers in the game, Dak Prescott seems primed for another big season.”
FantasyPros Staff· Aug 11“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)”

“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
“Round 9: Jonathon Brooks (RB – CAR) Fellow Panthers running back Chuba Hubbard was inefficient last season, and this is opening up a potential lead-back role for Jonathon Brooks so long as he can stay healthy after tearing his ACL twice over the last few years.”
Richard Janvrin· Aug 22“Chuba Hubbard (RB – CAR) & Jonathon Brooks (RB – CAR) The path here begins with one of these two winning the job.”
Ellis Johnson· Aug 19“Let’s not forget that Jonathon Brooks was a second-round pick just two years ago. Injuries have completely derailed the start of his NFL career, but the talent and explosiveness that made him such a highly regarded prospect are still there.”
Kurt Blakeway· Aug 16

“Jonathon Brooks | RB, Carolina Panthers It’s already starting; the steam is building behind Jonathon Brooks .”
Kyle Lesti· Aug 11“Jonathon Brooks looks healthy and explosive in camp, which is why he’s moving up in ADP. Fantasy managers, including myself, prefer Brooks over Chuba Hubbard due to the untapped upside.”
Frank Ammirante· Aug 11“Jonathon Brooks (RB – CAR) is finally fully healthy entering his third season after barely playing since being drafted. Camp reports describe him as fully cleared for a significant role, particularly as a receiver, a real strength of his and a weakness of the incumbent starter, who already lost his job to a journeyman back last year and posted a genuinely unique level of poor explosive-play production.”
FantasyPros Staff· Aug 10“After missing the entirety of the 2025 season rehabbing, Brooks is now deemed to be fully healthy and is competing for the starting role in the backfield opposite Chuba Hubbard . That would be the same Hubbard that already lost his starting role last year to Rico Dowdle , after his YPC cratered from the year prior.”
Evan Tarracciano· Aug 9“Pick 8.03 – Jonathon Brooks (RB – CAR) Despite having a career year in 2025 and replacing Chuba Hubbard as the lead running back, the Panthers let Rico Dowdle walk in free agency this offseason.”
Mike Fanelli· Aug 9“Fantasy Football Research & Advice Fantasy Football Expert Rankings 2026 Fantasy Football Draft Kit Fantasy Football Trade Analyzer Zero Running Back Draft Strategy Targets Jonathon Brooks (RB – CAR) | ADP 102 Overall, RB37 A second-round draft pick in 2024, Jonathon Brooks enters his third season with just nine NFL carries to his name”
Chad Workman· Aug 6“Of course, Jonathon Brooks has just nine carries over his entire NFL career, so this is a pretty massive swing. However, here in the ninth round, there aren’t too many players that could become the starter on their team, but Brooks is one of them. Fellow running back Chuba Hubbard was incredibly inefficient last season, and Brooks, who drew comparisons to Jamaal Charles coming out of Texas, is back and healthy.”
Richard Janvrin· Aug 4“Despite the camp hype, Jonathon Brooks is on a bottom-third projected offense and has serious injury concerns.”
Mike Anderson· Aug 3“Meanwhile, Chuba Hubbard , the Panthers’ current RB1, lost his job to journeyman Rico Dowdle for a few weeks last season. It’s a huge if, but if Brooks can stay healthy and make good on his potential, he should be able to take over this backfield.”
Ted Chmyz· Jul 27“The latter injury caused him to miss not just the end of 2024 but also the entire 2025 season. However, Brooks is now healthy and making noise in Carolina’s training camp .”
Ted Chmyz· Jul 27“Jonathon Brooks is looming in the background as he nears the end of recovery for his second ACL injury. It is worth noting that Brooks had an 86th percentile FELIX score, which was better than Jadarian Price .”
Peter Kettering· Jul 24“Jonathon Brooks is coming off of multiple knee injuries, but if any of his old skills remain, he will surpass Chuba Hubbard sooner rather than later.”
Jeff Krisko· Jul 24
