Dak Prescott Fantasy

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott (ankle) is reportedly progressing well in rehab, with Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network saying the team thinks Prescott is "going to come back better than ever." While he doesn't have a long term deal with the Cowboys and could be a free agent in 2021, it makes sense for both sides to get a deal done. Prescott is a top-five fantasy quarterback when healthy and has arguably the top three-man receiving corps in the NFL.

Dallas Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones said that quarterback Dak Prescott has leverage in contract talks after the team finished a disappointing 6-10 season, having won just four of 11 games with Prescott on the sidelines after his season-ending ankle injury. The Cowboys and Prescott's agent, Todd France, can resume long-term contract negotiations now that the season is over. Prescott played the 2020 season under the $31.4 million franchise tag when the two sides couldn't agree on an extension. Dallas offered him $110 million in guarantees, but the length of the contract was a sticking point. If the team uses the franchise tag on Prescott again, it would cost them $37.7 million for 2021. Prescott was on pace for a career season with 1,856 yards passing, nine touchdowns and four interceptions in five games before his injury. He'll be a high-end QB1 in fantasy drafts this fall, with or without a long-term extension.

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said the team won't consider taking a quarterback with a high draft pick in the first round, confirming the team's faith in Dak Prescott in the long term. "Yes, it's crazy to bring the idea up and I'm answering yes," Jones said when asked during an appearance on 105.3 The Fan if it was crazy to consider a quarterback with a presumably high first-round pick for Dallas. The Cowboys have gone through three signal-callers (Andy Dalton, Ben DiNucci and Garrett Gilbert) since Prescott suffered a season-ending ankle injury. Dallas will have to settle on a long-term deal with Prescott since he was playing 2020 under the franchise tag, but it sounds as though they are confident they will get something done.
