Dallas Cowboys QB Dak Prescott is coming off an underwhelming 2022 season in which he led the NFL in interceptions. He is a 2-time Pro Bowler and was named the 2016 AP Offensive Player of the Year. Below, we look at Dak Prescott‘s 2023 fantasy football average draft position (ADP) and where you should draft him.
Prescott has been a top-tier fantasy QB before and entering 2023 he is expected to take a big step in his efficiency. Prescott has the talent to be a top-5 quarterback in the NFL. The dual-threat signal-caller is intriguing in terms of fantasy value.

(ADP data courtesy of MyFantasyLeague.com; last updated at time of this publishing – ADPs continually change as more drafts occur)
Prescott has an ADP of 75.81 in redraft leagues, which puts him in the range of the 6th to 8th round, depending on the size of the league. His ADP is lower than that of his teammate Micah Parsons (72.95), though.
Among quarterbacks, Prescott’s ADP puts him 10th at the position, behind Deshaun Watson (Cleveland Browns, 74.08) and slightly ahead of Anthony Richardson (Indianapolis Colts, 80.15), Kirk Cousins (Minnesota Vikings, 80.54) and Tua Tagovailoa (Miami Dolphins, 81.83).

Where should you draft Prescott?
Prescott’s fantasy value should get a slight boost this year with the arrival of WRr Brandin Cooks, who has gone north of 1,000 receiving yards in 5 of his last 7 seasons.
Prescott has been in a serious downtrend that should make fantasy managers concerned. He played just 12 games last season and has had a decline in net years per attempt in 4 straight seasons. Prescott had 37 TDs in 2021 and ranked 8th in the NFL in fantasy scoring.
The addition of Cooks should help Prescott as he clearly missed former teammate Amari Cooper last season. The Cowboys have a strong defense and a quality offensive line, both things that should help Prescott’s fantasy value.
Draft Prescott with the 2nd or 3rd wave of QBs, but don’t let him fall out of the 8th round in 10-team leagues. When healthy, he has the potential to be a top-5 quarterback, and the upside is certainly there. Feel free to take him as your QB1 and snag a top-tier 2nd quarterback (like Cousins or Tagovailoa) soon after.
