Dak Prescott
vs Jonathon Brooks

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“Thanks in part to the acquisition of wide receiver George Pickens, Prescott led the league with 404 completions, threw for 4,552 yards and tossed 30 touchdowns (against 10 interceptions). Prescott put up a 99.5 passer rating, the 10th-best mark in the league, and ranked an even better fifth in QBR (70.2).”

“At full strength, Dak Prescott leads an offense ranked among the best in the NFL.”

“Statistically, Prescott has over 4,500 yards and 30 touchdowns in each of his last two healthy seasons.”

“Dak Prescott finished as the QB6, outperforming his QB11 ADP by five spots.”

“His receiving usage declined sharply when Jonathon Brooks was healthy that year, and Brooks immediately earned valuable red-zone and receiving opportunities.”

“01 | Jonathon Brooks | RB, Carolina Panthers “You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.” Jonathon Brooks is finally healthy, folks.”

“Jonathon Brooks was trending towards seeing a spike in ECR even before Chuba Hubbard was sidelined with a hamstring injury. Brooks now has a clear path to seizing the starting/lead role for good, and his ECR climb has reflected that.”

“Jonathon Brooks (RB – CAR) Going around the RB29, roughly the 78th overall pick, Brooks has been one of the fastest-rising players in fantasy over the past week given fresh news that the presumed starter ahead of him is expected to miss real time with an injury.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“Despite the camp hype, Jonathon Brooks is on a bottom-third projected offense and has serious injury concerns.”
