News: 3 days agoPrescott (ankle) will be a full participant in Wednesday's joint practice with the Rams, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

Spin: Prescott was given a precautionary day off last Friday due to ankle soreness, but the issue is no longer hampering him. If the Cowboys elect to play key starters during Saturday's preseason game against the Raiders, Prescott should be in line to play after having sat out the team's exhibition opener against the Rams. Prescott is still working without star wideout CeeDee Lamb at practice, as the No. 1 receiver remains away from team activities amid an ongoing contract dispute.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Prescott bounced back last season after a challenging 2022, finishing third among QBs in fantasy points, and he was one of only four passers to average 20 fantasy points per game. Volume is key. No quarterback completed more passes and Prescott's 36 touchdown passes were four more than anyone else. While Prescott's long-term future in Dallas may be problematic, he is safe this season and enjoys CeeDee Lamb to throw to. Prescott has delivered exceptional statistics when healthy (2019, 2021, 2023), so while he may slip outside the top five quarterbacks on draft day, it only makes him a bargain.
