It’s not something fantasy managers should be losing any sleep over at this point, but it’s also not nothing. While it’s reportedly unlikely that a foot sprain will affect Prescott’s preparation for the regular season (i.e. he won’t have to miss any time in training camp), fantasy managers shouldn’t completely tune out updates on the situation as the regular season draws nearer. The best case scenario for Prescott is that the whole situation blows over in the next week or two and that he takes the field without any limitations when Cowboys camp starts later this month. The worst case scenario is a potential lingering into the season a la Cooper Kupp in 2023, who fought off injuries of his own while missing parts of training camp and ultimately had his production limited early in the season. Luckily for fantasy managers, the odds remain in favor of the former and not the latter. However, any time missed by Prescott (which is highly unlikely at this point in time) would throw a real wrench in the fantasy prospects of Dallas’ pass catchers, specifically Ceedee Lamb and Jake Ferguson. We’re a long way from hitting the panic button in Prescott’s case, but it’s very presence is enough to bear monitoring the situation in the coming days and weeks.
