Inside The Star
We all know real NFL success and fantasy wins aren’t always the same, but when the Dallas Cowboys’ fantasy football numbers are up, the team usually isn’t far behind. This played out just last season.
Dallas is usually right up there for total team fantasy football success, but between the season-ending injury to Dak Prescott and an overall weak roster, those numbers were deflated.
Aside from two top performers, having Cowboys on your roster last season probably didn’t end well; and if you’re like me, you’re not looking to carry that bad fantasy energy into this year’s draft.
Since that isn’t based in reality, let’s go ahead and predict the top-five Cowboys fantasy football performers in 2025.
Spoiler alert: Things might actually be looking much brighter for both Dallas and your fantasy roster.
(2024 Total: 124.5)
In a normal season, Prescott should be the top fantasy scorer for Dallas. Quarterbacks are point machines in fantasy football, which usually leads to their value being diluted in favor of harder scoring finds, like top running backs.
Let’s just say Prescott’s 2024 was a significant outlier from that standard.
The Cowboys’ franchise quarterback was averaging just over 15 fantasy points per game, on par with guys like Derek Carr and Anthony Richardson, before going down with his hamstring tear in Week 9.
That injury meant Prescott would finish behind CeeDee Lamb and Brandon Aubrey in total fantasy points scored.
In 2025, I’m willing to bet we get back to his normal fantasy standard. With an improved offensive line and supporting cast around him, all Prescott needs is good health to return to the upper-300 range in total points.
(2024 Total: 162.4)
Even with missing a pair of games, dealing with backup quarterbacks, and being the only dynamic weapon for defenses to focus on, Lamb was a top-10 finisher for wide receivers in total points scored last season.
With good health for him and Prescott, and George Pickens by his side, there is no reason Lamb can’t skyrocket back into the top-three for receivers.
At this point, he is a bona fide All-Pro and production machine.
There are very few safer bets in all of fantasy football than CeeDee Lamb, and even if you think Pickens will take some points away, it won’t be enough to knock him off of his usual pace.
(2024 Total: 192.0)
I know it’s boring to include kickers on this list, but Aubrey is far from your average guy at the position.
In just two seasons, Aubrey has made himself a legitimate fantasy weapon. He has finished as the leading scorer for kickers in both 2023 and 2024, and I highly doubt that changes at all going into 2025.
Aubrey’s...
