Fantasy Football Names: Top 10 Best Funny Teams for 2018

No. 7 Baby Got Dak

It was a disappointing 2017 for Cowboys fans, but there is hope the team can turn things around with Ezekiel Elliott back for a full season. If you are still backing Dak Prescott, Athlon has the perfect name for you, especially if you are into old school hip hop. Prescott did lose top weapon Dez Bryant this off-season, and it is unclear how the Cowboys are going to replace his production this season. Fantasy owners are taking notice as Prescott is going dreadfully low in drafts.

According to Fantasy Pros, Prescott has an ADP of 140.6 making him QB20. Given his ability to give you a few rushing touchdowns, Prescott is not a bad gamble, even if you pair him with another late-round quarterback. We may see more of Prescott in the run game given the uncertainty at receiver. Even though the Cowboys have a roster full of under-the-radar receivers, Prescott believes things are starting to come together for the offense.

"We're starting to click," Prescott explained to the Dallas Morning News. "Starting to hit the deep ball a lot more in some of these last practices than we did early on. But we knew that would be a part of it, working out the kinks. And we're all getting comfortable with each other. It's fun to do it."

Getting Elliott back for an entire season should also help take some of the pressure off Prescott as the Cowboys can lean on their run game. The Cowboys traded for Tavon Austin this off-season, and Prescott believes the wideout will be an every-down factor.

"I didn't know he was as good of a receiver as he was and could run routes as well as he does, and catch the ball every single time," Prescott told the Dallas Morning News. "For me, from that standpoint, he's not just a gidget, gadget guy. You don't have to run him on speed sweeps and all that. ... He's a guy you can put out there, inside, outside and trust he's going to get open."

Prescott's numbers were down in nearly every major statistical category in his sophomore campaign. Prescott went from throwing just four interceptions his rookie season to 13 picks last year. His completion percentage was down nearly five percent. It was not just Prescott, as the entire Cowboys offense struggled. With veterans like Bryant and Jason Witten no longer on the team, Prescott's fantasy value mostly depends on a group of young, unproven skill players. It may be a risk, but it is hard to imagine Prescott's fantasy stock being much lower.
