Dak Prescott Fantasy

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott (leg) has not had any infections after his surgery. This sets Prescott up to start the four to six month recovery window from the injury. While he won't be back at all in 2020, Prescott should be good to go in 2021, though the big question remains if he'll be in Dallas or not, as he was playing this season on the franchise tag.

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott remains a surefire RB1 and could even improve his fantasy production without Dak Prescott (ankle) in the lineup. Week 6 will be Andy Dalton's first start as Cowboys quarterback, and while he should be more than able to move the offense, he does not have the rushing talent that Prescott has and won't be running in touchdowns like Prescott did. The Cowboys offense will have to run through Elliott much more than it did with Dak sharing some of the rushing work. "Zeke" has 364 rushing yards and 173 receiving yards with six total touchdowns so far. He's one of the top three running back choices for Week 6 lineups and his fantasy arrow is pointing up despite the overall downgrade to the Dallas offense.

Dallas Cowboys vice president Stephen Jones said the team remains committed to quarterback Dak Prescott (ankle) after he suffered a gruesome season-ending compound fracture and dislocation of his ankle in the Week 5 win over the Giants. Dallas and Prescott were unable to come to terms on a long-term contract extension before the 2020 season, so he was playing this season under the franchise tag. "He's our future. He's special. If anyone can overcome anything it will be Dak. It's something our doctors feel like he'll overcome, and he'll come back better than ever," Jones said. It's a huge blow to the Cowboys and fantasy owners, as Prescott had thrown for the most yards in NFL history through four games. Former Bengal Andy Dalton will take over the rest of the way, and he'll have streaming appeal in 12-team leagues in the right matchups. He'll be an attractive waiver pickup this week.
