Dallas Cowboys QB Dak Prescott comes into the 2022 season after being named NFC Offensive player of the week 3 times in the 2021 season and leading the Cowboys to the top spot in the NFC East.
Though the QB competition is stiff this season, Prescott looks to build on the Dallas Cowboys’ record as they come off of a 12-5 season. Dallas lost to the San Francisco 49ers din an NFC Wild Card Game.
Below, we look at Dak Prescott’s 2022 fantasy football average draft position (ADP) and where you should draft him.
Prescott ranked 7th in quarterback total fantasy points last season and 9th among quarterbacks in points per game.
Dak Prescott’s ADP: 59.63
(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 59.63 in redraft leagues, which puts him in the 5th round of most drafts depending on the number of teams in the league. His teammates WR CeeDee Lamb (20.34) and RB Ezekiel Elliott (36.73) both come with higher ADPs than Prescott.
Among quarterbacks, Prescott’s ADP puts him 8th at the position, behind Jalen Hurts (Philadelphia Eagles) and Joe Burrow (Cincinnati Bengals). He places ahead of Russell Wilson (Denver Broncos) and Tom Brady (Tampa Bay Buccaneers).

Where should you draft Prescott?
Prescott is among the thick group of tier 2 quarterbacks. He lost WR Amari Cooper to the Cleveland Browns this offseason and his weapons are somewhat of a question mark. Lamb is expected to step up on the outside and the team will need to put more faith in WR Michael Gallup when he returns from injury.
The Cowboys lost 2 key offensive linemen but Elliott may still be expected to carry more of the offensive load this upcoming season in Cooper’s absence.
Given the depth at quarterback, I would pass on Prescott until the 7th round.
Detroit Lions QB Matthew Stafford, Green Bay Packers QB Aaron Rodgers and Brady all had more points last season than Prescott, and there is no reason to think he’ll take a sizable leap with a depleted offensive line and the loss of a star receiver.
Brady or a flier on Hurts given his running ability is the best option in the second tier of quarterbacks.
