Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott had an incredible year in 2019 throwing for a career-high 4,902 yards and 30 touchdowns. His 2020 stats will be even better. Prescott will lead perhaps one of the best offenses in the entire NFL with three exciting wide receivers in Amari Cooper, Michael Gallup, and CeeDee Lamb. Plus superstar running back Ezekiel Elliott will help keep defenses focused on trying to stop the Cowboys rushing attack. Fantasy Analyst Corey Parson and Cowboy Maven Mike Fisher discuss what fantasy football players should expect from Prescott in 2020.

Kaitlin O'Toole: People are predicting that Dak Prescott will have a career year. Joining me now to discuss this is cowboys' maven Mike Fisher and SI's fantasy and gambling analyst Corey Parson. Mike, if the Cowboys can get the deal done with Dak, what do you think? Will he have a career here?

Mike Fisher: Yeah, and of course, he's had a couple of breakout years. His rookie year was just that. Then last year was magnificent statistically, except the Cowboys didn't get in the end zone often enough and consistently enough. I think with the weapons that surround him, an elite running back, a tight end that probably should've played more last year, a wide receiving core, the trio of those guys, maybe the best in football on paper. And you know what everybody thinks of this offensive line. The supporting cast for Dak Prescott should allow him to be in a position to put up incredible numbers in 2020.

Kaitlin O'Toole: So, Corey, let's talk about the fantasy angle on this. Should Dak Prescott be the No. 3 Overall quarterback for fantasy?

Corey Parson: Well, you know, No. 1 and No. 2, that's Lamar Jackson and Patrick Mahomes, they have those two spots locked down. Then you kind of get into a territory where you have Russell Wilson, Deshaun Watson, Dak Prescott, and an emerging Kyler Murray, merely because of what he can do with volume and the ground game. Yet, when I look at what Dak Prescott brings to the table, last season, he threw for almost five thousand passing yards.

You know he can do a little bit on the ground and he's a very efficient quarterback. You look at the weapons that he has around him. I think the only thing that can stop Dak Prescott right now is him and Mike McCarthy not being on the same page early. Will I go for him as high as a third fantasy quarterback? I still got to give that to Deshaun Watson. I think Dak Prescott is QB 4 but I do think he's a very, very worthy fantasy selection for the upcoming season.

Kaitlin O'Toole: All right, guys, thank you so much for your insight. Appreciate it. For the latest fantasy and gambling analysis, stay with us, SI.com.
