Inside The Star
It is Week 15 in the NFL, and December football is in full swing both on the field and on fantasy apps on phones across the world.
If you are still rummaging through fantasy football rankings today, odds are you managed to lock in a playoff berth in your league. Now, the real work starts, and it is going to take luck and the right moves to move on.
In Dallas, the players with the star on their helmets will control the fantasy fate of countless owners.
Here, we’ll rank the top players on the team from a fantasy perspective as they face off with the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday Night Football.
Who should you start? Who should you sit? I will sort through all of that below.
Coming in at the top of these rankings is the highest-projected Cowboy scorer of the week, Dak Prescott.
Dallas’s QB1 has been a strong fantasy option at the position for most of the 2025 season, and this week he comes in hot with 18+ points in four straight games.
Minnesota does allow the third least amount of quarterback fantasy points in the league, which will be a trend in these rankings, but that shouldn’t stop the gunslinging Prescott from putting up numbers.
Unless you have a truly elite quarterback option, you should at least consider starting Prescott today.
It appears that CeeDee Lamb’s fantasy dominance may be slowly coming back.
#88 has eclipsed 100 receiving yards in two straight games, and has scored a touchdown in two of his last four weeks as well.
Despite missing three games and leaving two contests early due to injury, CeeDee Lamb (@_CeeDeeThree) has five 100-yard receiving games in 2025, tied with Ja’Marr Chase and Drake London for the second-most 100-yard games this season. Only Jaxon Smith-Njigba has more (eight…

The only problem today? No team in football allows fewer fantasy points to wide receivers than the Vikings do.
That could absolutely play spoiler to Lamb owners today, but I am confident that the Cowboys offense will try to feed him as much as possible to counteract Minnesota’s secondary strength.
Third, we actually have the fourth guy when it comes to projected points with running back Javonte Williams.
He slots in over George Pickens for me based on feel; it is possible, if not likely, that only one Cowboy receiver will feast today, and Williams would reap the benefit of that.
He has slowed down as the season has progressed, having not reached the 20-point mark...
