The 2025 Cowboys were a fantasy football force. Dak Prescott finished as QB6 in a bounceback season, George Pickens was the PPR WR5 in his first year with the team. CeeDee Lamb was PPR WR22 despite missing much of the season. Scrap heap pickup Javonte Williams was RB12. Jake Ferguson was PPR TE5 despite not doing much of anything over the last few months of the season. What has changed this year? Not much. What is coming for them as a main enemy? Regression. 2025 Dallas Cowboys Stats (Rank)Points per game: 27.7 (7th) Total yards per game: 391.9 (2nd) Plays per game: 65.9 (4th) Dropbacks per game: 43.6 (2nd) Dropback EPA per play: 0.18 (5th) Designed rush attempts per game: 26.3 (14th) Rush EPA per play: -0.01 (8th) The more things stay the same, the more things changeThe Cowboys in 2025 rolled out this in their first game of the season: head coach Brian Schottenheimer, offensive coordinator Klayton Adams, Prescott, Williams, Lamb, Pickens, Ferguson, and an offensive line of Tyler Guyton, Tyler Smith, Cooper Beebe, Tyler Booker, and Terence Steele. There isn't a single projected change in the starting lineup from last year though Nate Thomas may push Guyton for a starting role at left tackle as Guyton appears to have earned some skepticism from the coaching staff after two injury-plagued opening years in the NFL. The Cowboys spent zero draft picks on the offense in the first two days and other than Marquez Valdes-Scantling haven't added anyone in free agency who seems like a real lock to fight for a roster spot.We do have a recent comparison here, but it's not a pretty one: The Atlanta Falcons did this from 2024 to 2025. They fell from 13th in points scored (22.9 per game) in 2024 to 24th (20.8) in 2025. Granted, they did lose offensive linemen Kaleb McGary to injury and Drew Dalman in free agency the Cowboys suffered no such real losses. The Cowboys should do a better job at handling regression as a fantasy offense than the Falcons did last year, but that doesn't mean it will be a pure runback. Passing GameQB: Dak Prescott, Joe Milton/Sam HowellWR: CeeDee Lamb, Jonathan MingoWR: George Pickens, Marquez Valdes-ScantlingWR: Ryan Flournoy, KaVontae TurpinTE: Jake Ferguson, Luke SchoonmakerSo, here's the thing: The Cowboys probably won't drop back to throw 43.6 times this year. That was a function of having one of the worst defenses in modern NFL history in 2025. The Cowboys threw on 52.2 percent of neutral situation (20-80 percent win expectancy) downs last year, a number that puts them smack dab in the middle of the NFL at 16th place.I do think there's a chance that number is overemphasized, as the Cowboys simply knew they wouldn't have many of those downs to begin with given how their defense lives. But I'd be lying to you if I said I thought Prescott was dropping back 600 times again in 2026. The defense may not be good in 2026, but they will be hard pressed to replicate last year's terrible showing.The thing is, that's already priced in on him. Prescott is now part of the boring quarterback tier he doesn't run and he's old and so he's QB8 and coming off the board well after the top six in most cases with an ADP of around 80-90. I happen to think some of the quarterbacks in that range have more upside than Prescott if everything goes right for them, and so I don't find myself clicking on him often, but I definitely think he's got the elements for a top-10 finish at the position again in 2026. The other easy thing to peg this year is Ferguson he's a lower-end TE1 by ADP and also someone who produced almost nothing when Lamb was on the field and healthy. From Weeks 3-7, Ferguson scored six touchdowns and received 40 of his 102 targets. In the last 10 games of the season he averaged 4.4 targets per game. He's a worthwhile TE1 play in a good matchup but I'm not rushing out to invest in Ferguson stocks without injuries ahead of him in the passing game pecking order.How the Lamb/Pickens question will unfold is one of the key questions of the fantasy football season. Pickens paradoxically feels like both the safer player and the riskier pick. Pickens received 21 red zone targets most of any wideout besides Amon-Ra St. Brown and Davante Adams. Even if his role is reined in a bit this year by Lamb being healthier, his red zone role gives him a more trust-worthy blueprint. And yet, for me personally? I always feel a little bit queasy spending a pick in the top two rounds on Pickens. I sometimes wind up doing it because I think his upside cases are better than some of the other second-round wideouts (like Nico Collins) but even if Pickens has sworn to put football first after getting franchise-tagged the elements of a contentious situation are still here and Pickens has spent some time in the malcontent mines over the past few years. I side with traditional fantasy wisdom in thinking that Lamb is the better pick (his ADP is higher everywhere, a fringe first-round pick in most cases), but he dropped plenty of chances last year and has only played 28 of a possible 34 games over the past two seasons. His YAC was also sharply down in 2025 the optimistic side of that is believing it was driven by injury, and the pessimistic side of that points to him slowing down a bit. Ryan Flournoy enters the year as a an interesting WR5 hedge in case something happens to the players ahead of him, but I'd be stunned if he turned in anything beyond annoying touchdown-heavy games that crimp Lamb and Pickens' value when both are healthy and out there. There's just too many mouths to feed on this offense already. Running GameRB: Javonte Williams, Malik Davis, Jaydon Blue/Phil MafahOL (L-R): Tyler Guyton, Tyler Smith, Cooper Beebe, Tyler Booker, Terence SteeleAs good as Williams' season was, it also was a tale of two seasons. From Weeks 1-8, he was at 124/633/8, averaging 5.1 yards per attempt. From Weeks 9-17, he started slowing down, producing 128/568/3 while averaging 4.4 yards per attempt. If you read between the lines of the Cowboys letting their other backs take on big roles in the early activities, it seems like they believe they wore down Williams last year. The good news for the rest of the contenders for a roster spot is that Williams wearing down opens up the door that they could get a bigger role this year. The bad news for the rest of the contenders is that none of them seemed up to it last year. Jaydon Blue started the meaningless Week 18 game but spent a lot of last year in the doghouse. I guess if we had to rank his backups I'd start with Blue but I don't consider him fantasy gold at this point and if Williams went down I'd imagine this would be a committee situation unless someone really shined through. Williams feels like a decent candidate to finish about where he did last year given some extra emphasis on the run game, but I'm not excited about spending a top-40 pick on him given his injury history and the wear they put on him. Then again, that RB15 and down range is largely about volume desperation and Williams figures to have plenty of volume. 2026 Dallas Cowboys Win TotalDraftKings Over/Under: 9.5Pick: Over (+115)I like new DC Christian Parker and think he'll help turn the Cowboys defense into a reasonable-if-not-exciting unit. I don't think the Giants and Commanders have become real threats over the offseason. And when you start with those inclinations before we even get into what the Eagles offense is 10 wins becomes a pretty reasonable bar. I'm not excited to bet this knowing that any sharp odds on a highly public team like the Cowboys doing well are likely inflated, but I see the case for the Cowboys being worse as heavily reliant on a Prescott injury given the division around them.

Back in 2005, a Chicago White Sox fan by the name of Robert Francis Prevost attended Game 1 of the World Series. As White Sox closer Bobby Jenks was on the mound to close out the contest, the broadcast took a shot of the crowd, which featured Prevost cheering on his favorite team.What the world didnt know at the time was that Prevost would be elected as the pope 20 years later. Thats right, Prevost now goes by the name Pope Leo XIV, and hes been very open about his sports fandom since taking up his new job. Well, Pope Leos fandom got taken to another level recently, as former White Sox catcher A.J. Pierzynski gave the pope the baseball from the final out of Game 1 of the 2005 World Series the same one the pope attended in person.Yes, that really happened. The last out ball from Game 1 of the 2005 World Series now belongs to Pope Leo XIV, as gifted by @AJPierzynski12. pic.twitter.com/azJzXv3Ukr Foul Territory (@FoulTerritoryTV) June 25, 2026Jenks successfully closed out Game 1 of the World Series, striking out Adam Everett to give the White Sox a 5-3 win. Pierzynski, the teams starting catcher in 2005, caught the final out, which was likely why he still had the ball in his possession before giving it to Pope Leo.The White Sox went on to win the next three games in the 2005 World Series, sweeping the Houston Astros to claim the South Sides first World Series title in 88 years. It was a miraculous run for the White Sox, who lost just one game during the entire postseason en route to winning the World Series. Perhaps Prevosts attendance at Game 1 had something to do with that. Divine intervention would certainly explain the teams sudden reversal of fortune in 2005, even if no one knew the future pope was cheering the team on at the time.
